Americares: Great people but needs better, more expert, leadership. - International Program Manager Americares Employee Review

Senior management is extremely disconnected from the reality of humanitarian aid efforts largely due to the fact that none have a relief background. Subsequently, not enough value is given to true experts in the field and the organization often makes decisions based on image rather than results. Most of the time, decisions are made not based on what is correct for a project and its beneficiaries but based on what is in the best interests of the donor and their corporate social responsibility communications goals.
