  1. From Aid to Development:Building New Approaches to Sustainable Eye Health Care CHIP MORGAN

  2. What is Aid? • Aid is the provision of resources money and assistance to alleviate poverty and suffering or provide services that the recipient is unable to provide in their own right.

  3. What is Development? • Development is the planned transfer of skills, expertise, resources and money in such a way that it allows the recipient to do things for themselves. This should lead to self-reliance and a sustainable end point.

  4. Development • Development requires partnership • Development requires accountability • Development requires trust • Development requires good management and good technical skills • Development is about sustainability • Development is far more complex than aid or charity

  5. Development • Development should not be based on simply supporting service delivery • Development should be based on building the capacity of the recipient to provide quality, sustainable services • Development needs to be monitored and evaluated for outcome, output and impact

  6. Development • Development needs to be planned • Development needs to managed • Development approaches need to allow for mistakes • Development is highly accountable

  7. Development • Development requires changes to approaches in the following areas: • Personnel selection • strategic planning • monitoring and evaluation • management and training • dependence and self reliance.

  8. Who and What Will Be Affected • Everybody and everything. Management, fundraisers, partners, donors, clients, communities, projects, monitors and evaluators • Outcomes, outputs and impacts

  9. Negotiating the Process • Keep everybody involved and informed • Be realistic, it is a difficult process • Encourage the learning of new skill sets • Involve everyone in the planning for change process.

  10. Negotiating the Process • Do not underestimate the size of the task. • There will be resistance. • Some will become exhausted, some will be exhilarated. • Draw on those who are energised by the process to encourage those who resist. • Do not assume that everyone agrees with the need to change.

  11. New Skills • Adopting a development approach means having to work cross culturally • Recognise that your partners have cultural, social and economic constraints • Ensure the process is regularly analysed for problems (and solutions). • Development needs to be well managed
