Did you know that 476 million indigenous peoples across 90 countries make up over 6% of the world's population🌍? They are the guardians of the majority of our planet's remaining biodiversity🌱 and a great part of our global cultural diversity.   Yet, these communities face profound challenges—marginalization, extreme poverty, and human rights violations threaten their very existence.   On this International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we join the global community in reaffirming our commitment to protecting the rights ⚖️ of indigenous peoples, especially those in voluntary isolation and initial contact.   At Euro Health Group, we strive toward culturally responsive evaluation approaches, which prioritize the knowledge and insights of indigenous communities, challenge traditional power dynamics, and center indigenous voices. We seek to actively involve local communities in every phase of the evaluation process 📊 , with the vision that they will be not just subjects of our work, but active partners driving the research and evaluations that impact their lives.   🤔 To the consultants and researchers in our LinkedIn community, what are some approaches you use to promote meaningful community engagement and ownership in evaluations and research? https://lnkd.in/g53rmz2D #IndigenousPeoplesDay #CulturalDiversity #GlobalHealth #SustainableDevelopment

Today, December 20, is International Human Solidarity Day, a day to honor the values of global collaboration and solidarity as well as to celebrate our unity in variety. As declared by the UN General Assembly in 2005, 🌎 Solidarity is one of the essential and universal values that should guide relations between people in the twenty-first century. To eradicate poverty, save the environment, and guarantee everyone's peace and prosperity, solidarity is crucial. #International #Human #Solidarity #Day #Honor #Values #Global #Collaboration #GlobalCollaboration #Unity #Variety #UN #GeneralAssembly #UniversalValues #People #Relations #Poverty #Environment #Peace #Prosperity #InternationalHumanSolidarityDay #GlobalObservanceDay #IHSD2023 #21stCentury #WomenInClimatePakistan

Today, we join the world in observing International Human Solidarity Day. This day symbolizes the universal values of solidarity and cooperation, reminding us of our interconnectedness and shared responsibilities. It's a day to celebrate our unity in diversity and to remember the critical role of shared responsibility and collective action. We're called upon to reflect on how we can address global challenges such as poverty, hunger, disease, and conflict together. It's also a day to remind governments to honor their international commitments and to raise public awareness about the importance of solidarity. Let's use this day as a call to action for individuals, governments, and organizations worldwide to collaborate in building a more inclusive and sustainable future for all. Together, we can make a difference. 💜 #InternationalHumanSolidarityDay #Solidarity #UnityInDiversity #GlobalGoals #SustainableDevelopment #HealthyPeopleHealthyPlanet United Nations

Some key points to consider when thinking about localising aid through the lens of decolonising diaspora spaces. 3 of 8 in a series of thought leadership pieces from Bashàïr Ahmed, PhD. If TLDR for you then in summary donors must support locally-led strategies to create meaningful impact.

Humanity is a fundamental value that should be respected regardless of race, creed, or gender. Recent events have highlighted the double standards that govern the so-called global democracies, revealing that there is still much work to be done in creating a truly equitable society. Let us continue to strive for a world where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their background, and where UNSC Resolutions are deemed to be binding, respected and implemented. #HumanityMatters #Respect #UNSCResolutions

Africa's Voices exists to put the voices of citizens at the heart of the continent's transformation. Here is how:

In our Feminist Reflections #Marrakesh annual meetings Emilia Reyes "Local social movements and civil society were also ready to hold deep dialogues about the pressing issues of #debt, illicit financial flows, #climate and environmental finance, and others, but also the new challenges posed by the political instability generated by the Israeli siege in the territory of #Palestine. And yet, they met with empty seats and missed opportunities" https://lnkd.in/esHatuVg #ceasefireingazanow

An inspiring dialogue and critical first step in expanding meaningful engagement and building capacity for participation in discussions on climate intervention research from Indigenous communities. I urge you to give this a watch. #unpfii #indineousvoices #nyc
