Well put Fed, If we can trust our ministry partners with money for a project, why can we not also trust our partners to use a portion of the donation wisely, for admin expenses to 'make the project achievable'??
After working in the development field for seven years I think your insights are right on target. Just glad to see someone put those realities in print. Thanks Fred
