Challenges/blockages to #decolonizing #intldev:
Power-washing (let's use 'localization' instead), too many invested in status quo (institutional inertia), strict compliance requirements not understanding local context, fear of challenging donors, etc.

The @ShiftThePower_ initiative is gaining traction. Collective action is therefore crucial for faster adoption and results. What was once rare is now familiar, requiring diverse stakeholders to discuss issues collaboratively.🤝
Themes like decolonization, power dynamics, and DEI/EDI are instrumental in global discussions and adapting them to a localized Good Society is imperative.💫
So then, as we gear up for the @ShiftThePower_
conference in Bogota this December, we cordially invite you to the Kenyan @ShiftThePower_ forum "A Participatory & Collaborative Change Process".
Hosted in partnership with @KCDF and KPF, this event is scheduled for November 10th from 8am. Join us as we champion locally-led giving and innovative community development.💥

When we bring ready-made program solutions to communities, we’re unintentionally depriving local actors of the opportunity to experience and react to the volatility, randomness, and stressors that come with working in complex systems rootchange.org/2023/04/19/le… @RootChange
