'Partnerships' in #GlobalDev and #humanitarian action are often highly dysfunctional. They don't have to be. Building and maintaining successful working relationships despite #inequalities in #power, money and access is tricky. But this can be done! Shilpa Alva talks to Dr. Nompilo Ndlovu (Ph.D) and Kate Bird about Surge for Water's #partnership model. Surge for Water work with #CommunityBasedOrganisations in #haiti #uganda and #indonesia to extend clean #water and #sanitation to #remote #rural #communities and they recognise that their partners know local needs and the route to locally relevant solutions better than they do. Surge engages in self-reflection & asking questions about #leadership, #language & #implementation to avoid replicating #colonial relationships.

🤔 What’s new with our Inequality and Exclusion (I&E) team? 🌱 Their new handbook, “The Inequalities-Environment Nexus: Tools for Catalyzing a Just Transition:” 👥 Was developed for a workshop on #GreenTransitions held in #Indonesia 🇮🇩 in late 2023. 💪 Aims to ensure green transitions consider the perspectives and rights of those negatively impacted by the transition process. ⚒️ Outlines 3️⃣ key tools that can be used in any transition process: 1️⃣ distributional impact assessments (DIAs), 2️⃣ intersectional-based policy approaches (IBPAs), and 3️⃣ social dialogues. 🏢 Can be applied across various sectors, such as #housing or #AccessToJustice. ‼️ Emphasizes the importance of ensuring an #inclusive policy process to gain greater support and avoid potential political backlash. 📑 Download the handbook here ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/exEAq4tc 💡 Learn more about the I&E team ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eh4E5hTh #SDG16Plus #PathfindersMonthlyMilestones

🇳🇬🇳🇬 I've been reading a book for a while now #whynationsfail by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson. This has been an insightful and eye-opening conversation, delving into the history of many continents and countries, and their critical junctures in development. You see, #Nigeria is a country filled with talented and industrious youths. The Human resource development, economic, and political inclusivity is very poor and has contributed to where we are as a country. Nothing really is accounted for properly and so much power is concentrated on the executive. The climate is harsh for start-ups and does not encourage youth empowerment. Changing this narrative will cause the eruption of 'creative destruction' that is the a nightmare to a government that seems more extractive than inclusive , but this will spur all creative minds to begin to birth transforming ideas for different sectors of the economy and will in turn diversify our political system. How do a country with so much ethnic diversity begin to integrate, to truly create unity and a common interests that everyone can rise to protect, taking #Botswana as an example? I celebrate every #youth in our country who despite these challenges, has not given up👏💪 Those who have and still continues to sail against to leave a lasting footprint in the history of our country. I'll appreciate feedback, to open my understanding on the following concepts; #africadevelopment, #youthempowerment, #regionalintegration, and #politicalengagement

Youth for sustainable development is a youth serving & involving organisation in kenya,Bungoma county that promotes sustainable development goals and leadership training for young people for sustainability in promoting community development. we are a young organisation that embraces partnership and collaboration for empowerment and growth. As an organisation, we envision having a locally organized#SDG fellows training quarterly at our local facility that is competitive for participants in the western counties and Nanyanza regions taking three weeks and when fellows go back to there communities,they are supported with some small SDG grant to implement a community action project.Our target come next year is to start with 34 fellows in each of the 17 sustainable development goals. All this work is huge for our small and upcoming organisation without surpport from organisations, companies and individuals.We are wondering if Making More Health gaaspp kenya can see this partnership an ideal initiative to jointly promote youth development as change agents through SDGs.

🌟 Bridging the Gap between Generations in the Rwandan Community 🌟 Reflecting on a recent interview I watched on #TheSummitRW with Eugene Anangwe, I've been contemplating the persistent friction between Generation Z and Generation X, especially pronounced in our Rwandan community across familial and professional domains. Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980, often finds itself at odds with us, Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2010. It's a clash of cultures and perspectives. Both generations bring unique strengths and weaknesses to the table. But I'm a firm believer that every weakness has the potential of being a strength and vice versa, all depending on perspective and context. For instance, Gen Z's response to authority differs from Gen X's due to varying upbringings. While Gen X may emphasize respect and compliance, Gen Z tends to question authority, challenge norms and seek alternative viewpoints. This critical thinking should not be viewed as "disrespect" but vital, especially in a nation like Rwanda, where blind obedience has led to tragic consequences. To bridge this gap and foster harmony, humility is key. Engaging in meaningful conversations with older generations can offer valuable insights and co-create solutions to contemporary challenges. But it's a two-way street; Gen X must create a safe space for us to voice our perspectives without judgment, understanding that while our struggles may differ, they are valid. Development has undoubtedly alleviated some of our burdens, but it's essential to recognize that it doesn't negate our experiences. While previous generations worked tirelessly to lay the groundwork for us, it's crucial to acknowledge the advantages and head start we've inherited. This acknowledgment doesn't diminish our struggles but highlights the progress made and the responsibility we have to build upon it. By fostering mutual respect, humility, and open communication, we can bridge the gap between generations and pave the way for a more inclusive and prosperous Rwandan community. While there are criticisms of Gen Z that are true, and definitely need to be worked on, such as low work ethic and the toxic need for instant gratification, recognition, and success, addressing these issues is a story for another day... before I go on for a little too long on this. #GenerationalHarmony #Rwanda #BridgingTheGap
