Accepted Paper:
The challenges around creating a space to explore faith approaches towards fair and equitable.
Amjad Mohamed-Saleem
(International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies)
Paper short abstract:
i want to explore the challenges around how we can look at developing a fair, equitable and decolonised process looking at it through a faith lens to understand how to shift power, resources, and leadership to local, national, and regional levels, by building inclusive and accessible processes
Paper long abstract:
Local communities are central agents in their own liberation, yet they continue to be marginalised in decision-making and excluded from equitable resource allocation by the international aid sector. Racist and colonial mindsets continue to permeate aid agencies and systems globally. One symptom is underestimating the capacities and expertise of local faith actors.
I want to speak on and also learn about how faith organisations can confront asymmetries of power and challenge that privilege. I want to understand how we can address issues such as a lack of acknowledgment of colonial legacies, the dominance of Western theological constructs, the marginalization of indigenous knowledge and belief, complicity in broader racist structures in aid and development, and inequity between local and international actors.
