How should you begin a poverty alleviation<\/a> project? Should you be in charge?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In When Helping Hurts<\/em>, Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert advise that sometimes, other people or organizations are in a better position to minister to a given community than you or your church are. If that’s the case, you should let the people who are most qualified to do the project take charge of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read below to learn why you should step back on your poverty alleviation project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Let the Right People Craft the Approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The authors pose three questions to ask yourself<\/a> before taking on any poverty alleviation project. If you can\u2019t confidently answer \u201cyes\u201d to all three questions, don\u2019t take the project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Do you fully understand the situation, including relevant local customs and culture?<\/strong> If not, don\u2019t take charge of the project yourself. Instead, let a local church in the affected area or someone else who fully understands the situation take charge, and look for ways to support them on the project, such as by donating money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Are local organizations incapable of meeting the need? <\/strong>If they\u2019re able to meet the need themselves, don\u2019t intervene. The goal is to empower people to take charge of their own lives and communities. Trying to help when it\u2019s not necessary ultimately undermines their agency\u2014which causes harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: As we\u2019ve discussed, Corbett and Fikkert point out that intervening\u2014rather than letting local organizations handle a crisis\u2014can harm aid recipients psychologically and take customers away from local businesses. Others point out that it can also harm their social and political systems by making the government less accountable to the people<\/a>. This is because when an outside agency steps in to meet a need, it takes pressure off the local government to address problems that may have created or contributed to creating the need.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Are you actually capable of meeting the need?<\/strong> In situations where outside help is warranted because the local organizations don\u2019t have the resources or qualifications to adequately address the situation, outside help is only beneficial when the outsiders have the necessary training, qualifications, and resources. If you try to help when you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing, you\u2019ll just get in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are You the Right Person for the Job?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Corbett and Fikkert\u2019s assertion that you need to understand the situation and culture and need to be objectively capable of meeting the need before you intervene mirrors business consultant Gino Wickman\u2019s advice about personnel management in business<\/a>. Considering his advice provides some additional insight on this subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Traction<\/em><\/a>, Wickman advises that for your company to be successful, you have to have the right people in the right positions<\/a>. According to Wickman, the \u201cright people\u201d are those who are on board with your company\u2019s culture and mission, while the \u201cright positions\u201d means matching job tasks to workers\u2019 skill sets. Problems come up when either of these factors is off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the one hand, Wickman says someone could be the right person<\/a> in the wrong position: She wholeheartedly embraces your company\u2019s culture and mission, but she doesn\u2019t have the right technical or interpersonal skills for the position. If that\u2019s the case, she can\u2019t thrive in that position and may end up causing problems for the company. Wickman says you need to move her into a position that matches her skill set, if there is one, or let her go if there isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s apply this concept to a poverty alleviation project: If you answered \u201cyes\u201d to Corbett and Fikkert\u2019s question about understanding the situation but \u201cno\u201d to their question about your ability to meet the need, that would make you the \u201cright person in the wrong position\u201d for that intervention. Applying Wickman\u2019s advice, you should look for a different need that you\u2019re better able to meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Wickman says someone could be the wrong person in the right position: He has the right technical skills to excel in his current position, but he doesn\u2019t understand your company\u2019s culture or doesn\u2019t believe in the value of your product. In this case, Wickman says you need to let him go before he stirs up dissension within the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, if you answered \u201cno\u201d to Corbett and Fikkert\u2019s question about understanding the situation but \u201cyes\u201d to their question about your ability to meet the need, that would make you the \u201cwrong person in the right position\u201d for that intervention. And this is even more of a problem in cross-cultural poverty alleviation than it is in business because the cultural differences<\/a> are likely to be greater than the cultural difference between two companies. So, following Wickman\u2019s advice, you don\u2019t belong in that role. Instead, you need to find a role where you understand the culture and have the ability to make a difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
