ABDF

ABDF.org was approached by an Australian NGO, NTA East Indonesia Aid, to meet and share best practices. Melton Cartes, ABDF’s Development Director and I had a fascinating conversation with Dr. Colin Barlow and his wife about the founding and maturation of NTA during a recent visit to San Francisco.

Among items discussed was the concept of building trans national partnerships while retaining the culture of a small, independent NGO. ABDF highly values the concept of tangible, transparent projects and the opportunity to scale impact with a partner can both complement and challenge this culture. You can learn more about NTA at www.nta.org.au. I’ll continue posting on this topic as it develops.
