Effective Citizen Participation in Development Aid Cooperation

Give the implemented projects and strategies the local people or they go on demand over? Anyone struggling with the problems and where there may already promising solutions. Who needs to speak with whom to advance an idea?

The Austrian NGO "Knowledge for Development without Borders (KFDWB)" has set the project “Development Aid Support” goal to spread the knowledge about current problems and best practices in developing countries as widely as possible, relying on eyes and ears on site. Volunteers, etc. from a variety of international and local institutions, associations are in use, describe in firsthand the problems and best practices they observe on the ground and submit a so-called "Development Aid Support Request Form" one. KFDWB review the information and tries among others, networking to relevant actors.How this works in detail, you can read here: http://developmentaidsupport.org/

“We have reached a sustainable development era where there is a need of suitable social mechanism support worldwide to connect a global audience to necessary resources while providing a central global support system  to make development issues and best practices available to all, and to translate the available goals, data, information and knowledge into sustainable local best practices” by KFDWB



If Human development is defined as the process of enlarging people’s freedoms and opportunities and improving their social justice, economic and environmental well-being, citizens have to participate, and decide worldwide who to be, what to do, and how to live individual and together to reach social justice, economic and environmental well-being of our lovely planet. I think that addressing and resolving Human development challenges only at the academic, political, power leader and development aid level are not enough anymore to reach the Human development objectives in each corner of the globe.

The struggles and upheavals around us and over there are showing that there is a need to create better paths and opportunities for local self-sufficiency, independence and dignity for all worldwide through education, training, housing and other social and environmental Services etc. The paths and opportunities that include more citizens in the human development decisions processes and human development local best practices in each corner of the globe.

We have reached a sustainable development era where there is a need of suitable social mechanism support worldwide to connect a global audience to necessary resources while providing a system to translate these goals, data, information and knowledge into sustainable local best practices.

Local citizens must be engaged more to address their own human development challenges by  reporting, and/or raising a ticket about the economic, social and environmental problems they are facing so that human development engagements, interventions, researches and resources must be efficiency targeted and focused.

As long as local communities do not know or understand which human development challenges they are facing and try to resolve first these challenges locally, and/or raise a ticket about their problems, challenges, frustrations, etc. that they live with every day of their current existence it will be difficult to help them as foreign Human development aid will still have socio cultural context resistances.

The need of implementing a global Development Aid Support Mechanism project



Our development aid support mechanism project which is an initiative of KFDWB is a way for local communities, volunteers and Aid Workers to make their joint work accessible to a wider audience. The community is made up of volunteers and Aid workers interested in letting us and our audiences know of the human development situation on the ground, and the best local approaches.  KFDWB is implementing a development aid support mechanism project, which is a novel and practical way for local communities, volunteers and aid workers to inform donor organizations of the actual human development situation on the ground and the best local approaches for reducing the problem.

The  mission of this project  is to provide worldwide Development Aid Support to development agencies, organizations, local governments, NGOs public and private institutions by helping local communities know and understand which human development challenges and/or frustrations they are facing each day, and make these information and knowledge universally accessible via  a central global database and useful to development organizations and local and national responsible bodies in order to highlight and alleviate the problems at a community level to reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the forthcoming Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in each corner of the globe.

The test phase of the implementing of the activities of the development Aid Support Mechanism project has been successfully achieved. We are looking now for funding to start the normal operation of development Aid Support Mechanism by setting up a central permanent office in Vienna, Austria and to engage with Donors. In Brief, funding for this initiative is being planned in the following way: Firstly to set up a central permanent office in Vienna with technical staff and or volunteers who have the experience to deal with individual support requests, to build up and support Development Case Studies, to provide an accurate and comprehensive analysis of the current situation on the ground for the donors and publics.  Our plan of action includes the further involvement by engagement on a financial basis of individuals or NGOs who have requested support.  In this way, the cost of each case study includes the engagement of staff at a central office and of individuals or NGOs on the ground.
