“…One of the promising areas of blockchain is the record-keeping of charity organizations' activities. A lot of attempts [8,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] have been made to find a way for a proper charitable platform to run based on blockchain technology. Muhammad, Misbah and Adnan [12] claimed that the current systems are unstructured, vague, and lacking in donor confidence.…”

“…Jia Hongwei and Deng Xiuquan [14] analyzed the characteristics and application of blockchain in detail and offered a model to solve problems in the domain of social emergency relief. Rizal Mohd Nor et al [15] proposed a blockchain-based donation system to solve the issues of third-party extra fees, payment processing delays, and accountability.…”

“…If the number of donors in L b , or if the number of NGOs in L b is too small (line 12), then there are not enough voters for the result of voting to be reliable. In such a case, the new node c is allowed to join the network only if it is a well-known NGO or donor, which can be verified from some known centralized servers (line [13][14][15]. If c has been successfully added to L b , then this event is broadcasted by b to all the other nodes in L b , so that the rest of the nodes will also add the node c into their respective lists (after possibly verifying c from central servers).…”

Using Blockchain to Ensure Trust between Donor Agencies and NGOs in Under-Developed Countries

et al. 2021

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in under-developed countries are receiving funds from donor agencies for various purposes, including relief from natural disasters and other emergencies, promoting education, women empowerment, economic development, and many more. Some donor agencies have lost their trust in NGOs in under-developed countries, as some NGOs have been involved in the misuse of funds. This is evident from irregularities in the records. For instance, in education funds, on some occasions, the same student has appeared in the records of multiple NGOs as a beneficiary, when in fact, a maximum of one NGO could be paying for a particular beneficiary. Therefore, the number of actual beneficiaries would be smaller than the number of claimed beneficiaries. This research proposes a blockchain-based solution to ensure trust between donor agencies from all over the world, and NGOs in under-developed countries. The list of National IDs along with other keys would be available publicly on a blockchain. The distributed software would ensure that the same set of keys are not entered twice in this blockchain, preventing the problem highlighted above. The details of the fund provided to the student would also be available on the blockchain and would be encrypted and digitally signed by the NGOs. In the case that a record inserted into this blockchain is discovered to be fake, this research provides a way to cancel that record. A cancellation record is inserted, only if it is digitally signed by the relevant donor agency.

“…Shao Qifeng et al (2018) summarized a sort of architecture based on the blockchain system for the mainstream blockchain development framework [27], which makes it more perfect for constructing a charity donation system based on the blockchain technology. Jia & Deng (2018) held that blockchain technology could establish new information sharing and trust mechanisms to improve the operation efficiency of the social assistance system [28]. Wang & Chen (2017) believed that blockchain technology could solve the problem of the credit formula system in China's charity and improve the credibility of charitable organizations [29].…”

Drawing upon the functional characteristics of blockchain technology, this paper envisages the feasibility and reliability of developing a charity donation service system loaded onto blockchain in response to the complex service demands encountered by charity operators due to the Covid-19 epidemic. With blockchain technology's support as the underlying data book, this paper focuses on the practical issues of charity donation fund and material allocation, as well as information release and sharing, charity donation organization, and organization self-management. The paper thereby discusses the key technologies in terms of overall structure design, specific service sector, and functional design of the donation service system and further summarizes the operational mechanism of the system as combined with the needs of help-seeking, receiving, and management users. It is argued that all the above proposals have the potential to alleviate the trust crisis of charity services in China in view of low transparency. The paper expects to provide a useful reference for charity business innovation propelled by blockchain technology. INDEX TERMS blockchain technology, the Covid-19 outbreak, charity donation, service system, reliability.
