Pros
give a decent salary to pull employees
Cons
Random, arbit decisions, don t require professionals but puppets and yes men and WOMEN (preferably pretty and young),wasteful expenditure of donor's money, work with handpicked consultants and vendors with whom deals and contracts are done which defy all principles, lack of competitive practices in procurement, incompetent staff, croynism and favoritism, poor, whimsical, arbitrary gang of leadership headed by mama and papa and a young ex- astronaut, lack of governance, regulatory climate, leadership draw obscene salaries unmatched with their skills/competencies/contribution, nil governance or accountability, meetings and offsites held for weeks in seven star hotels with money taken from donors in the name of disadvantaged farmers. Unceremoniously terminate those honest, well intentioned staff who espouse compliance, policies and prudent use of donor money. conning the donors with a weak program and disregard for any due diligence or internal controls. High risk for donors but must join for those wanting to learn 100 strategies of getting donor money and burning it. For instance if they want to fire an employee who is not falling in line with their high-risk, irregularities they first contract an expensive firm for re-structuring their organization and then call an offsite of 100 staff in goa (from all over the world) and then tell those 2/3 staff that your role does not fit in our new structure, so please write a resignation and leave. They might have spent one-fiftieth of that money in offering them at least 3 months salary or time to keep their kitchen fires burning! This is the ugly face of the humanitarian sector.
