The Global Aid Business

What is Wrong With The Global Development Organisation? is a two minute micro-documentary about a fictitious aid organisation with some very big problems. Bureaucratic capture is a potential hazard of all companies, but is especially dangerous when the organisation seeks to remedy urgent social needs in the developing world.   What would such an organisation look like if development experts and management worked together co-operatively to help make the world a better place?
