Shifting Local Power

In this D-VIEWS episode, senior innovation manager, Ian McClelland, and head of a consortium of local organizations in South Sudan, James Labadia, discuss how to localize a sector that speaks of #LocalOwnership and yet, again and again, places funding and decision-making power into the hands of internationals.

Understand what stands in the way of the #PowerShift our sector has discussed for decades and listen to their struggles, critique, and ideas for a future where local and national organizations are not only implementors but equal partners. 

Also in this episode: recruitment biases, self-interest, and consortiums and innovation as tools for system change.
