Decolonization of international development

What can the humanitarian and development community learn from the global wave against anti-black racism and the ongoing debate on decolonization?

After the tragic murder of George Lloyd in May 2020, the global wave against anti-black racism has inspired the development and humanitarian community to reflect about the decolonization of international development. This online knowledge dossier provides an overview of reports and reflections that The Broker writes based on a series of dialogue on the decolonization of international aid. Co-produced by Kuno, Partos and The International Institute for Social Studies (ISS), the dialogue series aims to discuss various aspects of decolonization and establish an actionable common ground to proceed from.
