Built a team. • GD Board had second thoughts (Nov 2010) • Ethos allowed to run the project. Adopt the name. • GD may participate rather than lead.
Does the UK's aid programme win business contracts? Self interest with UK Aid? Lots of other examples: • Schools and hospitals with no teachers or nurses • New buildings that never have electricity • Economic dependency “who will pay my rent next year?” • NGO’s fighting for the primary position “up the flag pole” And so on …

What we need from you • Candidate Projects / Problems: Smaller the better really. • NOT Haiti / Horn of Africa / Single community level ideally. • MUST be able to get community representation / proxies on these projects • An integrated and sustainable effect must be within reach • MUST be able to define a problem concretely and systemically. • Capabilities: Institutions / Companies / NGO’s to work with • The more the better. Need employees willing to be flexible Finance • A budget of £100k per pilot would enable us to scope sensibly to fit. Who could sponsor us? Any and all ideas welcome. Fundraising on Just Giving, for example? People • Who have first hand experience of redevelopment. Of institutions that work in this space.
