Balancing power in the development space
Chernor Bah
(Purposeful)
Why would you like to speak in this workshop?:
As a Sierra Leonean, who has studied, lectured and worked internationally in the traditional development space for almost two decades, I am passionate about the decolonisation of the aid agenda and addressing the power imbalances that show up in development - both the teaching and the practice. My contribution to this panel will offer insight into this perspective - how it feels to have “experts” from the global north hold space as the “experts” and “knowledge holders” of you and your people’s lives and experience. As we sit with this tension and truth, I also offer ideas and insight into how we can balance this power to overcome the North and South divide and imagine a new reality together. One that is based on trust, respect, and solidarity.
