This comprehensive historical account delves into the remarkable journey of NGO CARE, one of the world's largest humanitarian organizations, spanning from 1945 to 1980. It offers readers a captivating glimpse into the multifaceted aspects of international relations and humanitarian hunger prevention, providing invaluable insights into the economic and business-related dimensions of Western non-governmental politics, fundraising, and philanthropic giving within this field.
Beyond its contribution to ongoing research on the rise of NGOs in the global arena, this book stands out as a rich source of empirical material on the political implications of private and governmental international aid in a world characterized by the Cold War, decolonialization processes, and the challenges faced by "Third World Countries" in striving to catch up with modern Western consumer societies.
With its relevance to both United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 1, which aims to eradicate poverty, and 2, which targets zero hunger, this book serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and individuals passionate about addressing global challenges and promoting sustainable development. By exploring the historical roots and evolution of NGO CARE, as well as its impact on humanitarian efforts and international relations, it sheds light on the complex dynamics that shape our world today.
