Three MBA students from the University of Geneva will accompany World Action Director, Nicole Carta, on a site visit to House of Hope in Uganda this April to conduct a study examining the existing aid environment and its effectiveness in reaching small, community-based organizations.
Sonia Atallah, Violaine Beix Ginzburg and Emoke Ficz will travel for 10 days to complete research and interviews examining international aid and development mechanisms designed to reach grassroots organizations working to address the impacts of poverty and disease in sub-Saharan Africa. The report will be published in early July 2009.
The students are completing the International Organizations MBA (IOMBA) degree at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. The IOMBA is a multidisciplinary program focused on management, leadership and business administration in intergovernmental, public sector and non-profit organizations.
