Africa’s future must be led by its people — not polluters, not corporations, not foreign governments. True leadership centers communities, Indigenous voices & citizens, not destructive extractive projects. #AfricaClimate #DecolonizeDevelopment #ClimateJustice #ACSII
At the very least, Eritreans could express historical grievances of colonialism and imposed borders.
Selective memory doesn’t build real solidarity.
Connectivity without truth is just another trap.

From West Africa to East Africa, we say NO to imperial pipelines! EACOP is colonialism with a French accent and a banker’s smile. Africa will not be a sacrifice zone for Europe’s oil addiction.

Thomas Sankara warned us: He who feeds you controls you. He who drills your land displaces you. EACOP is control disguised as commerce. This continent won’t be sold off quietly.

Well-funded doesn't mean well-suited. Without local context, even the best-funded interventions can miss the mark. Let's co-design with communities, not for them. #DecolonizeDevelopment #CommunityVoices #ContextMatters
Communities aren't poor, they're rich in untapped assets. Real change happens when we shift from helping to empowering by combining lived experiences with expert support. Let's build with, not for.

We can talk the talk but until we change our structure, where we’re based, who makes the decision… the we aren’t decolonizing anything. @MalihaKhanWD #WD2023 #decolonizedevelopment
@USEmbFreetown @UKinSierraLeone @EUinSierraLeone
Thank you for congratulating Sierra Leone on a successful and peaceful election. However, using faulty, scanty and unverified 'evidence' from a CSO you finance to again discredit the election is problematic!#decolonizedevelopment
What does global development look like? Whom does it serve? Whose interests does it propagate? Who drives it’s agenda? Some questions that have been going through my mind for some time now? #globaldevelopment #throughmyeyes #Decolonizedevelopment
"...Effective localization is morally justified as a step to #decolonizedevelopment and also because it is just more effective.”
Worthwhile read by @nagpaltweets in @Devex on why #localization is the only way forward in #Haiti.

'Dirk-Jan reproduceert koloniale denkbeelden in zijn les' schreef een student in een evaluatie. Ik schrok hiervan: welke woorden moet ik niet meer gebruiken? Lees 👇 mijn blog en laat me weten welke woorden niet meer kunnen. #decolonizedevelopment https://t.co/k2QMQgG2dr
I'll be a panelist here. My plan is to discuss a key sub-question: "What makes Northern academics extractivist, careerist, unaccountable and exploitative over their Southern partners?"
Related issues: #DataExtractivism, #DecolonizeDevelopment, #competitiveness and #precarity.
"A small shift in language from 'beneficiaries' to 'grantees' or 'constituents' can alter power dynamics." Humentum's @jenna_thoretz discusses the growing call to #decolonizedevelopment. Check out some of the recent steps organizations are taking. https://t.co/wi6g4tWnnN

Similar for 'decolonizing' - many #dev orgs and INGOs wanting to get ahead with the rhetoric, but lacking serious (or any) structural shifts.
#DecolonizeDevelopment #PowerShifts
Some might see "progress" in the fact that these organizations are starting to talk about "interdependency"or complexity--but there is a cultural basis of "getting ahead" & "what is in it for me"--notions of leadership, hero status, or fixing. Myths of control & manangement lurk.
Following a blog series on how local NGOs have adapted for #COVID19, R4D ran a #SharetheMic Twitter campaign this week—with @TI_Rwanda, @acedbenin and @CommonwealthH18. Check out their posts on @results4dev and follow them to stay updated on their work. #DecolonizeDevelopment
