	Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy
		The AKDN’s mission is to improve living conditions and opportunities in poor regions of the developing world, specifically in sub-Saharan Africa, South and Central Asia and the Middle East.
		AKDN’s approach also features a long-term engagement with programmes in ways that allow local organisations to gain the experience and confidence they need to become self-reliant.
		Many of these efforts attempt to address the feelings of subordination and vulnerability among people in the developing world – a sense that they are victims of an economic and cultural globalisation in which they cannot be full partners but from which they cannot remain apart.
