The health of the #globaldevelopment ecosystem is 𝐢𝐧 𝐣𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐲. Power imbalances, #funding inefficiencies, and transactional partnerships have left #CSOs—those closest to the need—under-resourced, under-valued, and marginalized.

The #Devexevent at the #UNGA79 sidelines "𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘕𝘎𝘖𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥?", was a crucial reminder of the need to #buildtrust and lasting partnerships for a balanced, healthier ecosystem. 🤝 Read below for Christine Sow, Humentum President & CEO's key takeaways on the challenges facing local actors in #globaldevelopment: 1️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 "𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧"—it was designed to work for specific groups. To truly support local actors, we must rethink this outdated structure. 2️⃣ 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 (𝟏-𝟓 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬) 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭. When funding ends, organizations often have to cease operations, break relationships with communities, and lay off staff. This disrupts trust-building, which requires long-term, stable partnerships. 3️⃣ 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 to cover true costs and provide #unrestrictedfunding to local organizations and actors who are deeply rooted in the communities they serve, supporting them to lead. 4️⃣ 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥. We need deep, reciprocal relationships between funders, implementers, and communities. The message is clear: it's time to transform how we fund and support locally led development. 🌍 👉 At Humentum, we believe in the power of the collective. True change can only happen when we work together, hand in hand.

𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭. It's time for funders to recognize this and be brave enough to change the system. 💡 During #UNGA79, Humentum’s CEO, Christine Sow, took the stage at a Devex panel, "𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘕𝘎𝘖𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥?", alongside Degan Ali (Adeso) and David M. Bersoff, Ph.D. (Edelman Trust Institute). 🎥 Watch this short video below to learn what’s needed for #systemicchange. We’re working within a system functioning as designed—not for local actors, but for its creators. Short-term #fundingcycles disrupt #trustbuilding, and long-standing, reciprocal relationships are crucial for real change. The solutions are known; what's needed is funders willing to change their approach. 📢 𝐀𝐭 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦, 𝐰𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬.
