In a disaster situation, the world sits and watches until it is too late. Thousands of people die needlessly, waiting for aid to arrive. Quite simply, we are flying aid in from the developed world to the third world at an extortionate cost to donors, and doing little to create a culture of self-reliance and sustainability in the areas where these goods are most used.
Advance Aid’s solution is to pre-position emergency relief materials in strategic locations around the world. The point is not only to save millions of potential victims, but also to have all these materials manufactured in Africa in order to give much-needed stimulus to the African economies.
We act as a bridge between donors, non-governmental voluntary organisations and African manufacturers, providing flexible procurement solutions which will give African companies the opportunity to win supply contracts in realistic timescales.
