Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The study examines the potential role that donor agencies may have in facilitating the flow of group donations called collective remittances among migrant organisations, which fund development projects in their home communities. It focuses on Filipino hometown associations (HTAs) in Canada and the barriers that prevent then1 from sending resources to the Philippines regularly. The study draws information from three sources: a literature review of diaspora philanthropy, a survey of Filipino HTAs and interviews of stakeholders. The analysis reveals that high transaction costs are the major factor contributing to the sporadic exchanges of resources. Transaction costs occur due to limited exchanges of information, which leads to greater risk and uncertainty for stakeholders at both the 'giving' and 'receiving' ends of the transaction. The study recommends that donor assistance should focus on capacity building to give stakeholders in the Philippines the opportunity to improve their communication and outreach strategies.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
