Aid agencies use digital tech to perform 'magical spectacles' to beguile funders, argues @margchee. Blockchain primarily delivers benefits to funders and senior managers rather than to aid workers or refugees. #humtech #ict4d #digitalrights #globdev

🫤 who can tell me more? I seem to recall a long-ago saga that was, well, a bit disappointing to say the least, but is there some new issue? @aidnography usually knows all about #globdev #comms stuff
Just read the powerful @bondngo report written by @LenaBheeroo @PtsoThe @leilabilling centred in the voices of people of colour and their experiences in the #INGO #globdev sector.
A must read to take steps to becoming actively #antiracist

Though I have a strong allergic reaction against personality-driven concepts (and @snowded only reinforces that) I still see so much value in #Cynefin in human systems that it needs to be highlighted. #complexity #globdev

Really delighted to be at the webinar "Do black lives matter in #globdev" organised by @LIDC_UK

Next Monday, EU ministers responsible for development policy will gather in Brussels for their second and last formal encounter this year. Although the agenda is supposed to be online a week before, the @EUCouncilPress website is still empty: https://t.co/YPRLaoHhNh #globdev
Hope is central to #globdev , however white optimism is an epistemology not an identity given the right to continue dominating theories of change without changes within itself. Denying optimism, denies hope & jobs routed in the capital extraction the sector depends on.@arathings

As the figure from the report shows, the case for renovation is quite strong #globdev #2030Agenda
"The bottom line is that ODA can no longer fulfill its function as an objective measure of donor aid effort. Its rules exaggerate donor effort, and its total mixes different statistical quantities. The resulting data lack credibility and usefulness." #2030Agenda #globdev
'Scaling' is v. popular theme in #globdev- take a proven/piloted intervention & go large.
👇Thread about US college nudge is worth reading for work anywhere- scaling may take away the local org-individual interaction/personal tailoring that made pilot successful.
