We NGOs don't have that much leeway in terms of deciding where our funding goes because we are bound by the rules of where the funding comes from. We get a significant portion of our money from the Canadian government, for which we are grateful, but that, of course, comes with certain stipulations: This dollar is allocated for humanitarian, that dollar is allocated for development, and that dollar is allocated to nutrition or whatever. We spend it that way.
We do some fundraising with the public. We have some leeway there, but it's less.
We are trying to balance responding to humanitarian needs in the short term, but we're also trying to build resilience through development so that humanitarian needs in the future will not be as great. We and many other organizations are working on what we often refer to as the nexus, the link between humanitarian aid and development, providing people with food today but also providing something to build a livelihood so they won't need food tomorrow. I think we need to achieve a balance between those two.
