What is it?

S4G, the un-mediated, not moderated social platform

Have you ever thought you have something to “express” with a social dimension but never had the opportunity to do it?

Then S4G is what you are looking for:

  • Open, unrestricted and easy to use
  • Three mediums to choose from: TEXT, VIDEO, PHOTO
  • A way to express your ideas, reflections and expertise, on social issues and broader development and society at large
  • You do not need to be an expert but just passionate about what you share

BETTER AID
Changing the way aid for development is delivered requires a bold engagement both from the Government and donor community. Despite some positive progress, including an ongoing attempt of making development more inclusive, there is a long way to go for a real accountable and transparent aid delivery. Both Government and donors have clear responsibilities.

Can we dare to think development aid in a different way? Can we create a supportive environment for all the major players to be able to forge a no-nonsense consensus on how development assistance can be delivered in a better way? It is going to be daunting and challenging but it's worthy give a try. Donors can encourage the process.

Great news from the CNN Hero Award: Pushpa Basnet won the 2012 edition. It is fantastic news for all Nepal. At the same time this kind of event have some "side" effects.
