A few years ago, Jeff and I went on a pro bono IT consulting project to Uganda to serve a Action for Children, an NGO that fights poverty by preserving families and delivering micro-finance. We saw the power of grassroots and peer-to-peer fundraising and the impact that it can have. We love non-profits and the impact they have.

But what kind of a direct impact do these “social actions” really have especially for nonprofits? The media questioned the $700K production video budget, the accuracy of some of the content, the idea that Uganda needs the American’s to come in and save them, and of course the ultimate goal of the campaign.

However, many people in Northern Uganda (who this was ultimately about helping) felt that it over simplified the impact Kony had on millions of people in the region. It also portrayed the Americans need to “come in and save the day” because Northern Uganda could not take care of its own country and people.

Among their recommendations is that NGOs be trained to collect, analyze and use data effectively, since the impact of their advocacy depends on establishing credibility through good data.
