Breaking the Starvation Cycle
A research report on whether international funders cover the administration costs of national NGOs. It draws on 81 NGOs in 10 countries and financial data from 286 restricted funding agreements with 92 funders. It finds no group of funders paid a full and fair share. Half the NGOs had 21 days or less of unrestricted reserves. It recommends full cost cover, funding for reserves and cost recovery skills, and better data on cost coverage.
