  • Not a Question of If, but When
    PROLOGUE NOT A QUESTION OF IF, BUT WHEN IN THE INFORMATION AGE, THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE, TWO KINDS OF INSTITUTIONS, two kinds of organizations: those who have been hit with a crisis and those who haven’t been around very long. Whether you are a multinational corporation such as BP responding to oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico or the neighborhood restaurant dealing with a bad Yelp review, confronting a crisis is not a question of if but of when. And of those who have looked a great crisis squarely in the eye, there are similarly two kinds of people, two kinds of institutions, two kinds of organizations: Those who were able to be masters of their disasters, and those who failed. The landscape is dotted with a few winners but crowded with many losers who simply did not have what it took to survive the crisis. For every Bill Clinton—who left office with the highest presidential job approval rating in history despite having been impeached—there are dis- graced former politicians like Gary Hart and John Edwards. For every Goldman Sachs—which, despite being widely portrayed in the wake of the 2008 financial meltdown as a pack of real-life Gordon Gekkos sav- agely trouncing all in their path in the service of the bottom line, has contin- ued to have great success—there are companies like Lehman Brothers, Enron, and Arthur Andersen, consigned to the ash heap of Wall Street. For every franchise athlete like Yankee’s star Alex Rodriguez—who in 2009 went from being the spring training goat of ridicule over revelations about his use of performance-enhancing drugs to being the 2009 World Se- ries hero—there are disgraced former superstars like Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire.

  • Ahead of World Humanitarian Summit, the Elders Urge UN Action to Stop Mass Atrocities
    Ahead of World Humanitarian Summit, The Elders urge UN action to stop mass atrocities LONDON, 20 May 2016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Elders welcome the first World Humanitarian Summit taking place in Istanbul next week as a moment to galvanise responses to human catastrophes, notably in the host country’s immediate region. The Elders believe that the most important way to alleviate humanitarian crises is to prevent conflicts and mass atrocities in the first place. This requires timely action and the exercise of greater responsibility from the five veto-wielding Permanent Members of the UN Security Council. They highlight that the UN Secretary-General’s own report to the summit calls on the permanent members to withhold their veto power on measures addressing mass atrocities. Failure to exercise “veto restraint”, as has been called for by many UN member states and civil society, has resulted in paralysis in the international mechanisms designed to uphold peace and security. To coincide with the Summit, The Elders have released a new video, featuring contributions from Amnesty International and the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect, which argues for urgent action on veto restraint. ENDS Note for editors: The video features Kofi Annan, Chair of The Elders; Jimmy Carter, Elder and former President of the United States; Salil Shetty, Secretary-General of Amnesty International; Simon Adams, Executive Director of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect; Mary Robinson, Elder and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights; Martti Ahtisaari, Elder and former President of Finland; and Hina Jilani, Elder and Pakistani human rights advocate.

  • The Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, PC
    The Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, P.C., M.P. Minister of Health House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Re: Dedicated ALS Research Funding Dear Minister Petitpas Taylor, I am writing to you today on behalf of the nearly 3,000 Canadians living with ALS today and the 1,000 Canadians who will be diagnosed each year in the future, all of who continue to face the realities of this challenging and terminal disease – realities that led Carol Skinner and Eddy Lefrançois, two Canadians affected by ALS, to start a letter-writing campaign. The campaign asked Members of Parliament to hold themselves accountable following their unanimous approval of Motion M-105, which called on the government to play a leadership role in supporting ALS research and national efforts to find a cure. Over the course of four months, more than 2,300 Canadians joined Carol and Eddy in their initiative. But even that short time proved to be too long for someone living with ALS: Eddy Lefrançois died in January 2019 before he could see the results of his initiative. The reality is that ALS continues to be a devastating disease and the impact on families – emotionally, financially, and psychologically – is tremendous. Despite advancements in research the causes of ALS are unknown, and 80 per cent of people with ALS die within two to five years of being diagnosed. Since the unanimous approval of M-105 in April 2017, there has been little action from the federal government to act on the repeated calls from the ALS community to invest in dedicated, sustained funding for ALS research.

  • Building and Governing a Democratic Federation: the Actionaid International Story
    Building and Governing a Democratic Federation: The ActionAid International Story Sherine Jayawickrama and Alnoor Ebrahim June 2013 Building and Governing a Democratic Federation: The ActionAid International Story1 Like many international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs), ActionAid International (AAI) confronts a very different external context than it did when it was founded 41 years ago. Traditional “aid” or “charity” is now widely recognized as being insufficient for addressing persistent poverty and inequality. The role of the state and local ownership in developing countries, as well as the role of social movements, is on the rise. Geopolitical influence is being realigned – away from the United States and Western Europe – in a multi-polar world. Technology is putting more capabilities into the hands of ordinary people to access and share information, and to network and act with others. At the same time, poverty and rights violations still persist. Like its peer INGOs, AAI is confronted by increased competition for resources, intensifying demands for accountability, and heightened scrutiny by governments – all against the backdrop of AAI’s own increasing ambitions for impact and growth. To be successful, AAI’s business model and governance model must enable agility and efficiency, as well as legitimacy and accountability in the forms of citizen voice and demonstrable results. This report explores AAI’s internationalization journey and the governance model that has emerged in the course of that journey. It describes the evolution of AAI’s governance model and draws key lessons for peer INGOs. The paper is based on a governance model review recently commissioned by AAI and conducted by the authors2 under the auspices of the Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard University.

    Minister Ministre of Agriculture and de !'Agriculture et de Agri-Food l'Agroalimentaire Ottawa, Canada K1A OC5 Quote: 24 7280 JAN 16 2019 Ms. Diana Bronson and Co-Signatories Executive Director Food Secure Canada [email protected] Dear Ms. Bronson and Co-Signatories: I am writing in response to your correspondence to the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau regarding leadership on A Food Policy for Canada and other federal policies, which was forwarded to me for consideration. As you know, the Office of the Prime Minister forwarded a copy of your correspondence to the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Health, and the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental and Northern Affairs. I appreciate being made aware of the concerns that members of Food Secure Canada and other organizations have regarding the timely announcement of A Food Policy for Canada. As the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, I am honoured that the Prime Minister asked me to lead on a food policy that promotes healthy living and safe food by putting more healthy, high-quality food produced by Canadian ranchers and farmers on the tables of families across the country. A Food Policy for Canada is expected to be a federal, whole-of-government initiative that will establish a long-term vision for a coordinated and systems-based approach to addressing a broad scope of food-related issues in Canada. Throughout the public consultations held in 2017 on this food policy, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) heard from many participants about the importance of taking a balanced approach toward addressing the interconnected themes of food security, health and food safety, environmental sustainability, and economic growth.
