....but who are the greatest fools?........some people have their education and work....the rest have their kids.

 

I find a lot who have them seem to just project their unfulfilled education and work dreams on to their kids.

Kids can't choose their parents so it is up to society to see that these kids with no role model get best opportunity to reach their potential going down the right not wrong path.......save the country a fortune long-term........instead of history repeating itself because that is all they know.... survival.

The Department for International Development published its much-delayed Bilateral and Multilateral Aid Reviews this month.

Quote

In an extensive and detailed look at the UK bilateral and multilateral development systems, the reviews confirm the geographic regions of focus for the UK, which multilateral organisations the Department for International Development (DFID) will work with, and the tools that will be used to maximise our impact as we tackle poverty across the globe.

The reviews highlight best practice in the global development system, as well as examples of poor performance that will face urgent action.

The UK is clear in its demand for high performance across the board and will maintain pressure on multilateral organisations and NGOs to ensure results, value for money, transparency and accountability.

The lack of detail doesn't inspire much confidence that the money is well spent.  An audit of an organisation as complicated as UNICEF summarised on one side of A4 for example.
