Join the Masters of Development Studies program and Humanitarian Group for refreshments and networking at our second Professional Practice Seminar for 2022! We are going to explore inequality in the aid sector and how practical changes can be made within the system to better deliver effective results.

The localisation agenda, #metoo and #aidtoo movements, and the global Black Lives Matter movement have raised challenging questions for our sector on who sets the humanitarian agenda; who decides on the definition and measurement of positive humanitarian outcomes; and who produces, owns and shares evidence and knowledge that our sector uses as the basis for decision-making. They have shone a spotlight on the biased and inequitable treatment that many people in the sector experience, as well as those the sector seeks to serve. There is much greater recognition of the need for change and actions are underway. But to take this transformation further requires a better understanding of the foundations and impacts of decision-making in the humanitarian sector. This must be done through a power- sensitive lens.

Join our panel discussion with a range of practitioners either in person or online.
