Thanks for the list of resources. Readers should be aware of the Center for Development History (https://sites.lib.jmu.edu/cdh/), a long-term effort to collect, preserve and make available the experiences and lessons learned of people who worked for development NGOs and contractors. There are more than 50 oral histories (transcript and audio) on the website, with more interviews being conducted and added to the collection weekly. Those interested in helping (as storytellers and interviewers) should write to centerfordevelopmenthistory@gmail.com
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has been donating funds to help make up some of the shortfall.
Just this week, the church announced a $25 million donation to UNICEF-the money going to feed mothers & young children around the world. The church’s news release about this quotes UNICEF’s executive director, Catherine Russell, as saying that the generous contribution “comes at a critical time"
This isn’t the only way the church stepped up its humanitarian aid — it gave $1.58 billion to relief efforts around the world in 2025."
