The new aid environment is enabling the creation of global, multi-donor, special-purpose funds for poverty reduction and promoting equity in meeting the social development needs of communities. There are higher expectations of development sponsors for ensuring the value for money, transparency and accountability of development funds while achieving desired outcomes and outputs.
In this period of profound change, at A. F. Ferguson & Co. we are dedicated to the proposition that accountable action that is both transparent and practical is the best way to support development agencies and governments in responding to the needs of poorer citizens.
