Agenda

Join us tonight. 🌔 In conversation with... Deborah Doane, author of 'The INGO Problem: Power, Privilege and Renewal'. Wednesday 30 October, 19.30 GMT 👉Do you want to redistribute power and privilege? 👉Are you interested in how to tackle white savourism? 👉Are you looking for new ways to be accountable, manage risk and ensure funding reaches those who need it most? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, we have just the event for you. White savourism, the need to ‘decolonise’ aid and tackle racism – these are all issues that charities and INGOs are grappling with. And rightly so: for decades, these organisations have dominated the civil society ecosystem, marginalising and excluding local actors in the process. In her new book, 'The INGO Problem: Power, Privilege and Renewal', Deborah Doane discusses all these issues and much more. At the same, she offers practical and sometimes radical ideas for reimagining the INGO so that power can be redistributed and structural inequalities overcome. Becky Slack will be chatting to Deborah about her book, the stories it contains and the ideas it offers. All are welcome. Come with an open mind and a willingness to test traditional beliefs about charity, power and international development.
