Communicating About Aid

In Partnership with the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 

Overview

In February 2012, we issued a call for proposals to help us find revolutionary approaches to communications that could motivate the public in wealthy countries of the world to support foreign aid investments and take action to demonstrate that support.  

The world responded, and we’re deeply inspired by the proposals we received. We will announce the winners in November 2012.

The Challenge:

Many people in the developed world are aid weary. They know billions of dollars go into aid, and yet the problems never seem to go away. This leads them to question if the money ever gets to where it is needed, and even then, if it is used wisely. The media seems full of stories of corruption, waste and broken systems.
