Looking Back at Zimbabwe

Carnegie Results examines how a grant aimed at advancing democracy in Zimbabwe missed the mark. This issue reveals how a $200,000 grant for the Constitutional Commission of Zimbabwe in support of public education and outreach activities failed. And asks the questions: why would Carnegie Corporation give a grant to a futile project in a doomed country? Why for that matter do foundations give grants at all?
