Dutch Government refuses Humana funding
Humana Holland applications for public funding have been turned down by the Dutch government. The decision represents a U-turn by the government, which sparked a row in 2007 when it authorised a donation of more than €8 million of public money to Humana, despite the organisation’s poor reputation.
The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs has turned down a new application for €39 million over four years made jointly by Humana Holland and two other Dutch development organisations. Humana Holland had created a consortium known as ‘The Ahead Alliance’ with ‘Doctors of the World’ and ‘Right to Play’ to make the bid under the so-called MSF2 co-finance programme for 2011-2014.
Humana has been excluded from the programme, even though in its annual report for 2008 it said it was expecting the money. They are very disappointed. The previous Dutch government funding was for €8.2 million under the MFS1 programme in 2007-2010, and a donation of 124.000 euro for “SMS combats HIV/Aids”,
The Dutch government ministry concerned said the latest application was rejected because of a negative rating of the organizational structure of Humana’s partner-organizations in Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi, Angola and DR Congo [most likely DAPP or ADPP in each country.
