Under counted, particularly giving by African women
#ShiftThePower@ShiftThePower_4 Dec 2024
Individual/local giving by Africans to African CSOs is definitely under-accounted for. #ShiftThePower

The role of international actors should not be to hold their dominant position in local civil society... At some point INGOs will have to step-out in order to step up. #ShiftThePower

The local registration of INGOs did not expand the pool of local funding, it instead it flooded the pool of local funding. #ShiftThePower

INGOs have to step out of direct service delivery. 🔥 #ShiftThePower

The purpose of INGOs should be to make sure that local civil society is strong, and INGOs need to shrink. #ShiftThePower

How should INGOs work? We need to centre the idea "as local as possible and as international as necessary." #ShiftThePower

The INGO is a system whose success is measured by funds raised and not work done... waste of resources by INGOs is easily forgiven compared to waste of resources by local orgs... The dominance of INGOs perpetuates the further dominance of INGOs #ShiftThePower

The INGO has formal and informal systems that reflect western supremacy... knowledge centres from western institutions form the basis of policy... The language of the INGO is English, other languages don't have the jargons that INGOs understand #ShiftThePower

Deborah Doane: There is still a huge dimension of racism and western supremacy in the INGO... National and local orgs are perceived to be untrustworthy, and INGOs have capitalised on this. #ShiftThePower

Deborah Doane: The book is a rallying cry for change... the foundation of INGOs was built on good motivations... as we move into 1990s, professionalism started to replace ideas of solidarity... COVID highlighted the short comings of the INGOs... The failures are systemic.
