Communication with Vinay Viswanatha
Dear Vinay
There is probably not enough time to follow through on the specific consultancies that you reference in the afro-nets message, but I want to get as much information as a can about what is being asked for.
I have been a consultant in the international official development assistance world for many years, and disappointed at the way the sector has performed. As a former corporate CFO and an accountant, the management of money has been weak all the way from the planning and budgetary stage to the implementation and subsequent monitoring and evaluation. Making many of these activities bigger may well not produce better results simply because the metrics being used for analysis are inappropriate.
I have been working on what I refer to as TrueValueMetrics ... a system that helps to account for economic activity the same way for both the implementing organization and the community. The system embraces the increasingly popular triple bottom line so that analysis is not only about the money flows but also the value flows, The system is as powerful for the performance of a community as regular accounting is for the performance of a corporate entity
Sincerely
Peter Burgess
