Donor One who makes a donation or gift. In international de­ velopment work, it can mean someone who gives .f.5 to ActionAid or $5 to the American Friends Service Commit­ tee; it can mean a bilateral agency (see below) or a multi­ lateral agency (also below). Sometimes it can refer to a voluntary organization - like the Red Cross. Where it refers to bilateral and multilateral agencies, it is often used incorrectly, as some ofthese provide loans or assis­ tance tied to the purchase of goods and services in their own countries. This blends 'giving' with an element of banking, and with subsidies for the private sector. ODA 'Official Development Assistance' is concessional assis­ tance from governments. It may include tied aid and loans but it must include a grant element of at least 25 per cent. Not to be confused with the British Overseas Development Administration, which is a bilateral agency administering the Official Development Assistance of the British Government. Bilateral Something undertaken by two parties. In the development business it means government-to-government aid, but it is also used as a noun, referring to goyernmental aid agen­ cies such as the British Overseas Development Admin­ istration or the US Agency for International Development. Multilateral As a noun, it refers to multilateral institutions such as the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Umbrella agency An odd expression when you think about it. In the de­ velopment business it usually refers to organizations that act as clearing houses or that provide co-ordinating, in­ formation and advocacy services on behalf of member agencies. Most Australian NGOs, for example, belong to the Australian Council for Overseas Aid; in Bangladesh X they belong to the Association of Development Agencies of Bangladesh. Sorne, like these, are national; others are regional (e.g. Eurostep), and some have functional or religious underpinnings. Nouns to verbs If adjectives like 'bilateral' and 'multilateral' can be trans­ formed into nouns, nouns can become verbs. Although this practice is not unique to the development business, it has some regulars: 'to network', 'to access', 'to partner' (e.g. 'This project was partnered with the Canadian Hun­ ger Foundation'). Documents Usually just a fancy way of saying 'papers' (as in 'project documents'). Surplusage Mark Twain's Twelth Rule of Literary Style - 'Avoid sur­ plusage' - is generally ignored. In the development business, people favour long words: 'document' often becomes 'documentation'; 'preventive' turns into 'pre­ ventative'. And one does not impose 'conditions'; most documentation refers more politely to 'conditionalities'. Sector This word is as elastic as 'downtown'. As a subdivision of society, 'the private sector' is well known. This book deals primarily with the 'voluntary sector', sometimes called the 'non-profit sector' or 'third sector'. In develop­ ment work, there are a lot of other sectors: the 'health sector', the 'education sector', the 'formai sector' (busi­ ness and industry), the 'informa! sector' (unregulated and unregistered business and industry). Enabling To make possible or easy, to facilitate. Almost always used in connection with the word 'environment', al­ though it has nothing to do with ecology. First used in a development context by H.H. The Aga Khan in a 1982 speech in Nairobi: 'Social institutions in national de­ velopment; the enabling environment'. Linkage Any form of communication. Partnership Any form of linkage (see Chapter X). Technical This refers to the sending of 'experts', usually from the assistance North to the South, to assist, teach or manage projects. 'Volunteers' like the Peace Corps and VSO are seldom referred to as 'technical assistance', however, even though they may be well qualified. 'Technical assistance' is usually coïncident with the expression 'highly paid'. Technical assistance to Africa in 1989 absorbed $3.3 billion. In an article on the subject, UNDP said that xi 'technical assistance, unlike turnips, has no independent measure of its value to the recipient. Instead, output is measured by input, such as salaries or man-months, con­ veying a deceptive impression of achievement when nothing may have been achieved.' (UNDP 1994, p.80) Expert Technical assistance. Resources Many meanings. 'Human resources' means 'people'. 'Human resource development' can mean training, but it usually refers more broadly to building the

  • Intensity of Coastal Erosion in Sri Lanka: the Case of South Western Coastal Sector
    American Journal of Multidisciplinary Research & Development (AJMRD) Volume 2, Issue 11 (November- 2020), PP 01-07 ISSN: 2360-821X www.ajmrd.com Research Paper Open Access Intensity of Coastal Erosion in Sri Lanka: The Case of South Western Coastal Sector A.G. Amarasinghe, (PhD, M.Phil. B.A. (sp), Certi. in Geology) Senior Lecturer, Department of Geography, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, ABSTRACT:- Coastal erosion has been a problem in Sri Lanka for long period of time. Sea Level rise and reduction of supplying sediment load to coast intensified the shoreline erosion rate. Identifying the intensity of shoreline erosion has become an urgent requirement in Sri Lanka to fulfil two reasons. First one is to make due plans to combat coastal erosion. Second is to make aware general public and the respective authoritative personality about the gravity of the problem of coastal erosion in Sri Lanka. The main objective of this paper is to find quantitative figures on the intensity of shoreline erosion relating to South West Coastal Sector of Sri Lanka (SWCS). SWCS is the one of most important coastal sectors in terms of geographical, socio-economic and other points of views. Current study paid attention on secondary sources of data. This source of data provides two types of information relating to this study. One is the collecting information on studies that paid attention on coastal erosion. Second is to make comparison across studies. Primary data was collected by using field observation and key informant interviews. Studies show the short term erosion rate of the SWCS vary from 0.0- 3.0m/yr.

  • BRITISH HUMANITARIAN Ngos and the DISASTER RELIEF INDUSTRY, 1942-1985
    BRITISH HUMANITARIAN NGOs AND THE DISASTER RELIEF INDUSTRY, 1942-1985 By ANDREW JONES A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham April 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis is a history of humanitarian non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Britain, between 1942 and 1985. Specifically, it is focused upon the group of leading agencies linked to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), an umbrella body for joint emergency fundraising established in the 1960s. The thesis explores the role of these NGOs in building up an expansive and technocratic disaster relief industry in Britain, in which they were embedded as instruments for the delivery of humanitarian aid. This was problematic, as many principal aid agencies also wished to move away from short-term disaster relief, to focus upon political advocacy connected to international development instead. It is argued that, despite this increasing political focus, humanitarian NGOs were consistently brought back to emergency relief by the power of television, the lack of public support for development, and the interventions of the British government.

Like my father, I was born and raised in New York City and loved it. But my mother was born in Ireland so growing up I was constantly reminded of my Irish roots. Much to her annoyance, I could (and still do!) easily slip in and out of a near-perfect Irish brogue. From an early age, my mother and I would fly to Ireland to spend the summer on the family farm where we were joined by my cousins from London. I don’t have a single memory of it feeling chaotic, but it must have been. Once old enough to run, I disappeared with my cousins for hours on end enjoying a way of life that seemed centuries away from life in New York City. Such freedom was not to be found in NYC.

  • THE REGISTRATION of GRANT-MAKING CHARITIES Matthew Mills*
    The Charity Law & Practice Review THE REGISTRATION OF GRANT-MAKING CHARITIES Matthew Mills* 1. Introduction Charitable expenditure ranges from the application of a few thousand pounds of locally-sourced funds to the sophisticated and systematic use of billions of pounds.1 Most charities provide services to promote their purposes. However, in addition to creating direct financial impact, many larger charities influence the charitable sector by giving grants to other, smaller charities. This helps raise the profile of smaller charities and promote new initiatives, particularly in specialist fields.2 Nearly 10% cent of all charitable expenditure is given by charities to other charities. It is this specific type of organisation, known as a ‘grant-making charity’, with which this article is concerned. It is difficult to know precisely how many grant-making charities exist, but in 2016/17 approximately 12,700 grant-making ‘foundations’ (which includes grant-making * Barrister, Radcliffe Chambers; Lecturer in Land Law at Oriel College, Oxford University.
