The document describes two models for aid projects in Africa - a top-down model used traditionally where donors give money through intermediaries with limited communication, and a new balanced model using technology to improve information flow. The new model features the Dadamac Foundation as an intermediary that collaborates closely with local projects and donors, using ICT like the internet and phones to effectively share information, communicate, and make informed decisions to maximize short and long-term impact. Both local knowledge and global resources are combined for mutual benefit.
