Doing Well by Doing Good – testimonial videos
We are pleased to have so many eminent people who support our view that it is in Australia’s interests to support an increase in the small proportion of its development-assistance budget invested in international agricultural research for development (Ag4Dev).
As part of our Doing Well by Doing Good campaign, we approached eminent international and Australian thought- and research leaders and are so pleased to have them as part of our outreach to support the case we will be putting to decision-makers that: despite the proof positive from benefit-cost analyses finding a ratio of 10:1 on investment, and the less quantifiable social, environmental, and diplomatic benefits in-country and to Australia of investing in Ag4Dev, the proportion of Australia’s development-assistance budget it receives is only around 2.5 percent. We firmly believe it is in Australia’s interests to increase the proportion of its development-assistance budget invested in Ag4Dev.
In the meantime, I trust you enjoy our short testimonial videos from:
