I am unable to find your organisation's financial figures on this website, ie where the money is spent (including wages, administration costs etc). Most NGOs have this listed - financial contributions coming in and then financial distributions, in addition to a financial statement on expenses. Can you guide me in the right direction as an interested stakeholder? Tom as an NGO, your organisation discusses the importance of accountabilty.

i think it's important that there is disaggregation between growth/end of poverty analysis. and also a stronger connection between aid and its outcomes should be clearer in the campaigning.

this quote that you use a lot:

“extreme poverty has been cut in half over the last 20 years”

seems strange to me as you don't follow it up with 'and over the last 20 years aid increased by X' – has the aid resulted in this cut? if so how? when? where? if not or it's unclear then why is aid the answer?

i think the link above gives a bit of reason as to why aid is one part of the answer.

I think your article is good. Thank you for responding so quickly.

What I don't understand is, how can you say that Steve Lewis “has finally hit the mark”, when he criticizes the funding that your organisation has received to run your MPH Road Trip?

Cheers,

James
