China vs. Myanmar Confirmed

On Monday Katya Andresen posted about donor fatigue, referencing the earthquake and cyclone.  One of the factors she referenced reinforced the point I made in my last post:  According to Katya…

Donors need to believe they can make a difference.  That’s not the case in Burma, where aid is being blocked by the miltary government.  It’s more the case in China, where we’ve seen much more giving.

The important point is that Network for Good is seeing much more giving to China than to Myanmar.  The assumption is that the Myanmar government’s response has depressed donations.
