Short Abstract:

This panel explores COVID-19 and post-pandemic challenges that have influenced the future of sustainable developments as justice, equity, climate and ecological crisis in an urbanising and mobile world in the global south and the global north.

Long Abstract:

The Covid-19 pandemic has profoundly shaken the ways NGOs, CSOs, researchers and practitioners tackle issues of justice and sustainability in the global south and the global north. As explored in our panel at the DSA conference last year, several new dynamics started shaping and changing the civil society sector, including increasing private funding, shrinking of public funding, digitalisation and localisation.

This panel, building on last year discussions, aims at continuing our exploration of these and new dynamics that have emerged in the previous year, how they have affected NGOs and CSOs work and research and how practitioners and researchers have dealt with them.

In particular, we would like to focus on:

- Distinctive country-focused challenges and NGOs/CSOs responses to just futures of sustainable development: while virtually all NGOs have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact has been different in each country. We welcome contributions that offer in-depth single country perspectives or comparisons among different countries.

- Distinctive sector-specific challenges and NGOs-CSOs responses to Justice and Equity issues: how has the pandemic differently affected ‘operational’ and ‘advocacy’ with regard to Justice and Equity?

-Distinctive methodological challenges. We welcome contributions that focus in particular on:

*Adjusting existing-in progress work, approaches and methodologies to tackle issues of justice and equity: what has the process implied? Who was involved in the decision-making? What solutions were identified?

* Co-production and participation: to what extent and how has COVID-19 impacted co-production and equality in NGO/CSOs work and research?

* Decolonisation: to what extent and how has COVID-19 impacted efforts to decolonise knowledge and approaches in the field of justice and equity?

This panel is organised by the NGO in Development study group and aims to provide a platform for sharing practitioners’ and researchers’ experiences and reflections. We welcome both empirical and theoretical contributions in different styles and at various stages of development.

Methodology

Panellists will upload their materials three weeks before the conference itself. These contributions can take multiple forms, including video, video with slides, slides with audio, podcast/audio only and text only.

Convenors will ask panellists to watch other people’s presentations in advance of the synchronous discussion session(s). The convenors will also share in advance what they think are the key questions emerging from the recorded presentations which will be addressed in the synchronous discussion. The convenors will also start the synchronous session outlining these questions. Then, each presenter will give a 2min pitch summarising their key argument and another 2min in which they address one of the key questions from the convenors. After this, the discussion will be open to the audience with convenors’ moderation.
