Hero Anwar’s blog post talking about fair Indirect Cost Rate (ICR) practices is well worth reading. I had the good fortune of partnering with REACH (Rehabilitation, Education and Community Health) on humanitarian action in Iraq, when working with Christian Aid – the work that Hero and the team does is commendable.
“ICR is not simply an administrative add-on. It represents and enables so much of what we all care about in this work. I look forward to the day when INGOs and other funders share ICR generously and wear it as a badge of honour. When they say, proudly, “we care about fairness, strong partnerships, aid effectiveness, sustainability, impartiality, trust, the rights and well-being of women and other workers, local leadership, healthy organisations, and reducing waste, so OF COURSE we provide local organisations with the ICR they need.”
