The Importance of Neutrality in the Development of Nonprofits

When I was at OFDA, our partners in Northern Syria had to navigate that day in day out. And they would not go around advertising the fact that they were partly financed by the US government. So we didn't have them. We didn't require that they put US flag branding on their their aid packages as would normally be the case and things like that. But there is value, you know, and the sort of dialogue even that you're talking about with the Houthis having that kind of an open channel. You can respond or rebut to some of those perceptions - maybe successfully or not.
