Make Change Happen 18: Uncomfortable conversations? Confronting development’s White gaze
Channel: IIED
Date: 2022-07-20

In this episode of Make Change Happen, we explore how development organisations have responded to the Black Lives Matter movement, with a particular focus on language and narratives.

Hosted by Liz Carlile, IIED’s outgoing director of communications, this episode features Natalie Lartey, IIED’s advocacy and engagement manager; Maryam Mohsin, head of media and communications at Bond; and Mpho Tapela, executive director of Youth Unlimited Network in Botswana.

They discuss racism and decolonisation in development and the intentions set out by organisations to move towards becoming anti-racist.
