This week on Unpacking Development, we unpack “Beneficiary” a term often used to talk about the end-recipient of development programs.
We explore whether that’s an accurate way to describe these folks (do they always really benefit?) and whether there are other terms that would be more appropriate.
We also welcome our friend Mohammed Awal (Senior Research Analyst/Team Leader for Social Accountability with the Center for Democratic Development in Ghana) to get his take on “Beneficiary", how it shows up in his work, and whether it helps/hinders community relationships.
