Gibson Terry, "Making Aid Agencies Work: Reconnecting INGOs with the People They Serve"
English | ISBN: 1787695123 | 2019 | 197 pages | EPUB | 1153 KB
The development industry is worth billions. International non-governmental organizations (INGOs) have become an integral component in international development and humanitarian response. Yet as recent scandals at Save the Children and Oxfam have highlighted, such organizations can overstep moral boundaries, raising questions about the scale, power and role of INGOs. Are they dedicated to continuous learning and self-improvement, or are they development dinosaurs driven by their own need for survival and by the political agendas of their paymasters? Drawing upon his experience as an international development practitioner-one who has worked with NGOs large and small, international and local, in over 40 countries-and drawing also upon his own academic research, Terry Gibson addresses these questions head on. He combines large-scale industry analysis with attention to the lives and worlds of the people the aid industry aims to serve, and he demonstrates how to overcome barriers between the two worlds and free flows of learning, resources, and even political influences that might lead to better outcomes.

Multicriteria Decision Aid and Artificial Intelligence By
2013 | 353 Pages | ISBN: 1119976391 | PDF | 3 MB
Presents recent advances in both models and systems for intelligent decision making.Organisations often face complex decisions requiring the assessment of large amounts of data. In recent years Multicriteria Decision Aid (MCDA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have been applied with considerable success to support decision making in a wide range of complex real-world problems.The integration of MCDA and AI provides new capabilities relating to the structuring of complex decision problems in static and distributed environments. These include the handling of massive data sets, the modelling of ill-structured information, the construction of advanced decision models, and the development of efficient computational optimization algorithms for problem solving. This book covers a rich set of topics, including intelligent decision support technologies, data mining models for decision making, evidential reasoning, evolutionary multiobjective optimization, fuzzy modelling, as well as applications in management and engineering.Multicriteria Decision Aid and Artificial Intelligence:Covers all of the recent advances in intelligent decision making.Includes a presentation of hybrid models and algorithms for preference modelling and optimisation problems.Provides illustrations of new intelligent technologies and architectures for decision making in static and distributed environments.Explores the general topics on preference modelling and learning, along with the coverage of the main techniques and methodologies and applications. Is written by experts in the field. This book provides an excellent reference tool for the increasing number of researchers and practitioners interested in the integration of MCDA and AI for the development of effective hybrid decision support methodologies and systems. Academics and post-graduate students in the fields of operational research, artificial intelligence and management science or decision analysis will also find this book beneficial.Content: Chapter 1 Computational Intelligence Techniques for Multicriteria Decision Aiding: An Overview (pages 1-23): Michael Doumpos and Constantin ZopounidisChapter 2 Intelligent Decision Support Systems (pages 25-44): Gloria Phillips?WrenChapter 3 Designing Distributed Multi?Criteria Decision Support Systems for Complex and Uncertain Situations (pages 45-76): Tina Comes, Niek Wijngaards and Frank SchultmannChapter 4 Preference Representation with Ontologies (pages 77-99): Aida Valls, Antonio Moreno and Joan BorrasChapter 5 Neural Networks in Multicriteria Decision Support (pages 101-126): Thomas HanneChapter 6 Rule?Based Approach to Multicriteria Ranking (pages 127-160): Marcin Szela?g, Salvatore Greco and Roman SlowinskiChapter 7 About the Application of Evidence Theory in Multicriteria Decision Aid (pages 161-187): Mohamed Ayman Boujelben and Yves De SmetChapter 8 Interactive Approaches Applied to Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms (pages 189-207): Antonio Lopez Jaimes and Carlos A.

Melanie S. Tanielian, "The Charity of War: Famine, Humanitarian Aid, and World War I in the Middle East"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1503603520, 1503602400 | PDF | pages: 369 | 4.1 mb
With the exception of a few targeted aerial bombardments of the city's port, Beirut and Mount Lebanon did not see direct combat in World War I. Yet civilian casualties in this part of the Ottoman Empire reached shocking heights, possibly numbering half a million people. No war, in its usual understanding, took place there, but Lebanon was incontestably war-stricken. As a food crisis escalated into famine, it was the bloodless incursion of starvation and the silent assault of fatal disease that defined everyday life.

Heike Wieters, "The NGO CARE and food aid from America, 1945-80: 'Showered with kindness'? "
English | ISBN: 1526117215 | 2017 | 336 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This book provides a historical account of the NGO CARE as one of the largest humanitarian NGOs worldwide from 1945 to 1980. Readers interested in international relations and humanitarian hunger prevention are provided with fascinating insights into the economic and business related aspects of Western non-governmental politics, fundraising and philanthropic giving in this field. Not only does the book contributes to ongoing research about the rise of NGOs in the international realm, it also offers very rich empirical material on the political implications of private and governmental international aid in a world marked by the order of the Cold War, decolonialization processes and the struggle of so called "Third World Countries" to catch up with modern Western consumer societies.
