When you respect dialogue, when you’re prepared to listen and work together real change can happen. This is about the conversations you have and the agendas you can create. There will be trade offs but…we have to find what we’ve got that’s more in common ❤️ #ACFID2023
Please 🙏support my asylum seeker friend to raise money for her judicial review. The court fees are huge, let alone barrister fees. See the link for more details. https://t.co/c1l18dX2kP @ajbrownAus @Virginia_Hauss @lenoretaylor @OzRefugeeCounc
'When we say, listen to our voices, we also demand that we want our rights to be respected, to be promoted as Indigenous peoples... We have been saying that we are custodians, we know how climate change mitigation can be done' - Pratima Gurung @NidwanNepal#ACFID2022
Thank you to everyone who came to today's #ACFID2022 session on #FeministForeignPolicy and #ClimateCrisis!
Here are just a few of the thought provoking discussions that came out of today's panel 👇 (1/6)
ACFID’s advisory body on development practice welcomes Gemma Porter to the Committee. Gemma is an international development professional with over 15 years of experience with NGOs. Her experience will be invaluable to the existing group. https://t.co/2JtLM0zUcH @FredHollows
'I want to draw attention to the responsibilities of CEOs & executive directors to go on their own antiracism journey. We have to make a personal commitment to learn and unlearn, and that requires not just leading with our head but leading with our hearts' @BBaldeschi#ACFID2021
I could influence who could be head of the bilateral program. I could yield my power to ensure local leadership. Instead of being centre stage, be behind the scenes" - Anna Gibert at Wielding and yielding power concurrent session #ACFID2021 (2/2)
'In order to wield power [as a local person], one has to be given the space and authority. This lies with the leadership. The wielding [of power] cannot happen without the yielding [of power]. None of this is without risk' Jennifer Kalpokas Doan of Balance of Power #ACFID2021

I feel honoured and inspired to be working with a thoughtful and professional group of people who want to collaborate and do this work together. It will be great to share this with others at ACFID's Conference this week #ACFID2021
ACFID's @kangus_ox, discusses how @IHSSC, together with ACFID and partners from the Pacific, have created a document that asks “what work do white organisations and staff need to do internally to consider their own historical, positional and racial power?”https://t.co/KXPcqvykFU
@ACFID@IHSSC What do ANGOs need to do (individually, in their organisation and in the system) to genuinely tackle their role in perpetuating or shifting the power imbalance inherent in the aid and development system? Come to this session on Day 2 to be in the conversation. @ACFID
