Foreword by the Chief Minister The Isle of Man Government has supported development projects overseas and provided aid in response to international emergencies for over twenty years, through the work of the Council of Ministers‟ Overseas Aid Committee. Such support has helped international efforts to alleviate poverty around the world, demonstrating the Isle of Man‟s commitment as a responsible and caring nation. The following Annual Report gives an overview of the Committee‟s work during the financial year 2010/11, along with a more detailed look at particular projects, and summaries of each project funded by the Committee, alongside their cost. The Committee supported a wide range of charities during the period, with the largest recipients being: Oxfam - £218,823 Disasters Emergency Committee - £185,000 Christian Aid - £178,000 CAFOD - £122,040 Plan - £120,000 The Committee is appointed by the Council of Ministers, and membership during the period of this report was as follows1 – Hon P A Gawne, MHK, Chairman Hon D Anderson, MHK Mr E Lowey, MLC Mr H Green (lay member) Ms C Bader (lay member) I would like to thank the Committee members for the work they have done. We are indebted to their enthusiasm and commitment to helping those less fortunate than ourselves in developing countries across the world. _____________________________________ Hon A R Bell MHK Chief Minister December 2011 1 Hon Phil Gawne MHK replaced Mr Waft MLC as Chairman in summer 2010. Hon David Anderson MHK and Mr Lowey MLC also joined the Committee in summer 2010. Ms Allison Burden stood down in 2010 and was replaced by Ms Clare Bader in December 2010. 5 6 2. Introduction by the Chairman of the Overseas Aid Committee Since our last Overseas Aid Committee report, the Committee has continued to fund development aid projects in the world‟s less developed countries and provided support to international disaster appeals. During the financial year covered by this report the Committee consolidated the changes brought in by the 2008 report “The Policy and Funding of Overseas Aid”. Following the recommendations of the report, the Committee now uses the internationally recognised Millennium Development Goals to guide its consideration of applications. The Committee also now focuses its funding on countries ranked as “low” on the United Nations Human Development Index. Unfortunately it was not possible to put into effect all the changes recommended in the report. Owing to spending pressures the Committee‟s budget was not increased as envisaged and as a result the Partnership Programme Agreements (PPAs) were not put into operation as expected2 Almost 220 applications from charities based in the Isle of Man and the UK were received over the period. Of those 220, only 38 were successful, demonstrating the level of competition for Committee grants. Of those successful applications 21 were for funding from the small grant scheme, and 17 were for emergency aid, which is usually apportioned on a monthly basis. Once again, the Committee‟s budget for 2010/11 was £2.4 million. Of this, just over £875,000 was spent on development aid (“small grants”), around £921,000 was spent on the multi-year projects and around £600,000 was spent on emergency funding. Funding for projects by charities based on the Isle of Man is prioritised and the Committee was particularly pleased to fund projects by charities based on the Isle of Man such as the Call to Business project in Sierra Leone which provided a home for disabled children, the Pahar Trust Nepal project to provide a new school for Sikles village, and Friends of the Curraghs Wildlife Park project in Manombo and Menabe districts in Madagascar which focused on community development and sustainable natural resource management. The Committee also funded projects such as that by Excellent Development in Mozambique towards the support of a national food and water security programme, Tackle Africa‟s HIV education through football coaching project in Uganda, and Save the Children‟s project in Colombia to provide emergency supplies for families affected by the flooding there. The year also saw a major international disaster with the 2 PPAs were intended to be agreements between the Isle of Man Government and charities which were tied to goals and outcomes, rather than particular projects, allowing the charities greater flexibility and the ability to plan longer-term. Each agreement would have been for £2.5 million in total for five years. 7 flooding that affected millions in Pakistan and the Committee provided a total of £185,000 to support the response there. More information about the response can be found in the Case Studies section. Finally, I would like to thank my fellow Committee members for their hard work over the period. ___________________________ Hon P A Gawne MHK Chairman December 2011 8 3. Overview of the Overseas Aid Committee’s activities in 2010/2011 The Overseas Aid Committee of the Council of the Ministers is responsible for the allocation of funding for development and emergency aid projects. For the 2010/11 financial year the Committee received an allocation of £2.4 million. The budget was split into three main types of expenditure – small grants, of up to £100,000, for which £860,000 was allocated, multi-year grants, with an allocation of £916,718, and emergency aid, with £600,000. The way in which the Committee targets its budget and selected projects for the small and multi-year grants funds is closely aligned to the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDG). In total, 46 projects were funded, 21 under the small grants scheme, 15 under the emergency grants scheme and 10 multi-year projects. The figure below shows the breakdown of expenditure on small grant and multi-year grant projects according to the particular development goal addressed (emergency aid funding is excluded from the chart as these are not judged on the basis of the MDG‟s). As can be seen, the largest proportion of funding (45%) has addressed the goal of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, while 20% has been devoted to addressing each of the project goals of ensuring environmental stability and reducing child mortality rates. 4% of funds have been devoted to addressing each of the project goals of: combating HIV/AIDs, malaria and other diseases; achieving universal primary education; and improving maternal health. The remaining 3% of funds was allocated to the goal of promoting gender equality and empowering women. 9 As can be seen from the figure above3, which breaks down the Committee‟s expenditure by region, the vast majority of expenditure (79%) went to Africa. This reflects the fact that many of the world‟s least development countries are to be found in this region (according to the United Nation‟s Human Development Index). Projects in Asia received 18% of the Committee‟s funding, while 2% was awarded to projects concerning Central America (this is accounted for by the emergency aid donated by the Committee for the earthquake in Haiti and the tropical storm in Guatemala during this period). The remaining 1% went to projects in South America. More detail about individual projects can be found in the following sections. 3 Certain spending by the Committee, such as funding for the One World Charity Challenge, is excluded from this table, as there is no one region on which it is focused. 10 4. Case studies Charity Challenge 2010 Case Study 1: Charities working in the developing world have benefited from awards totalling £23,000 thanks to this year‟s One World Charity Challenge. A Freedom to Flourish initiative that aims to encourage Year 12 students gain a broader understanding of development issues, the One World Charity Challenge sees student teams research Manx-registered charities working overseas or ones supported by the Overseas Aid Committee. Following a series of in- school presentations to decide which charities are to be represented, the finalists make their presentations at an awards ceremony before a panel of judges who determine each team‟s share of the grant pool. The One World Charity Challenge is co-ordinated by the One World Centre and sponsored by the H&S Davidson Trust which donated £11,500 to the grant fund, a sum matched by the Isle of Man Overseas Aid Committee, swelling the total to £23,000.

  • A Country in Need Always Rememb
    Brandi Murley Rockwell City-Lytton High School Rockwell City, Iowa Zimbabwe, Factor 16 Zimbabwe: A Country in Need Always remember that the future comes one day at a time. -Dean Acheson “All in all, in Zimbabwe it is a disaster far worse than anything anyone expected...” - Evan Davis, BBC television's Newsnight economics correspondent In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't. -Blaise Pascal Zimbabwe, in Southeast Africa, is a country of poor and starving people. Almost the majority of the population is under-nourished, starving, are unemployed and poor. Zimbabwe has a population of 12.5 million, 47% of whom are undernourished. 17% of children under 5 years of age are underweight. Their diet consists of meat including beef and some chicken. Maize, a staple meal, greens, beans, and on special occasions they will celebrate with the killing and consuming of a goat or a cow. The consumption of food is falling due to falling incomes and people not being able to buy food. Because of malnutrition it would make sense for there to be many doctors in Zimbabwe. That is not true. Doctors are moving to different countries to make more money. The doctors don‟t make a healthy living because the sick can not pay for medical help. Infant mortality is up to 12.3%.(CIA) The health system collapsed in Nov. of 2008.(Mbaya) Three out of the four major hospitals in Zimbabwe closed down due to lack of money and being unable to get medications and drugs.
