Pros

HelpAge has a great mission, and attracts wonderful, driven staff across the world. HelpAge makes a difference because it works at all levels, from supporting households and communities to pushing national and global policy.

Cons

The organization is quite hierarchical, and it can be difficult for ideas and people to move up. There is often more upward accountability than downward accountability to local partners and older people.

Pros

HAI is a respected INGO working on improving access to services for older persons.

Cons

If your project does not fall within one of the main corporate themes, e.g. social pensions or livelihoods, then you will not have support to grow programming in your area of interest. Many managers and directors have been in place for many years, resulting in old-school culture, old-school thinking, and protection of their positions.
