Peter Baumann pointed me to an interesting (well, Brandon's articles are all interesting) piece by Brandon Hamber on the missing link between domestic business and charities/NGOs in Africa:
Donor money should be coming not only from the international community and channelled by local funders, but local sources should also provide funding.
Brandon website is a source of knowledge on most issues dealing with the psychological effects of conflict, such as truth commissions (he was working with the TRC in South Africa). In above article, he features the foundations for peace as an effort for sourcing funds locally - versus the all-too-present mentality of NGOs waiting in line for international donor money. There's another role for local business, it seems.
