From Plains and Mountains: Comparing European Private Aid and Government Support for Private Aid Organizations

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: EADI Global Development Series ((EADI))

Abstract

The chapters in this volume have brought us an interesting geography of private aid and private aid organizations in Europe, as well as support from European governments for these organizations. In this last chapter, we draw a set of conclusions on the differences in organizational landscapes and in government support for private aid organizations. To expand our conclusions and not to miss out some of the largest organizations we will also take a closer look at private aid organizations in some other European countries, notably the United Kingdom and Germany.
