At a time when ‘decolonisation’ has become a buzzword in the international development industry and beyond, it is an opportune moment to assess what a decolonisation framework for the international non-governmental organisation (INGO) sector would entail. In this new report, Surbhi Kesar and I discuss what Eurocentrism is and how it can help us critically interrogate the role of INGOs in the development industry. You can read some reporting about our research here:
- New research explores the role of the INGO sector in decolonising economic development (Bond)
- Response to Bond’s report ‘Decolonising economic development: the role of development sector’. (Women’s resource center)
- Move away from Eurocentric views, NGOs urged (Third Sector)
- NGO umbrella body urges members to tackle root causes of poverty and inequality (Civil Society)
