    Another campaign that was maybe too much like Easterly's "Planner" as its members disbanded last year after increasing awareness and pressuring governments to relieve absolute poverty. The campaign was formed from members of trade unions, charities, religious groups, and many celebrities. In the US the campaign was known as the ONE campaign.

Grasping Reality with Both Hands: The Semi-Daily Journal of Brad DeLong: The Future of ... - 0 views

  • COCHABAMBA, Bolivia - The people of this high Andean city were ecstatic when they won the "water war." After days of protests and martial law, Bechtel - the American multinational that had increased rates when it began running the waterworks - was forced out... its executives fled... protest leaders pledged to improve service... celebrated the ouster as a major victory.... Today, five years later, water is again as cheap as ever, and a group of community leaders runs the water utility, Semapa. But half of Cochabamba's 600,000 people remain without water, and those who do have service have it only intermittently - for some, as little as two hours a day, for the fortunate, no more than 14.

    CARE seems like it has some of Easterly's Planner tendencies in that it has some Big Goals
    (and celebrity faces on its homepage) but it seems that many of its methods are more those of searchers in that it gets involved with local families and communities to understand the problems they face and ways that they can help them.
