Any specific channels for advocacy and influence, that could make a change? (IMF seems hopeless? At national level? With corporations based in our countries? Other?) beatriceschulter https://padlet.com/info9729/nhkyg4uj0a7zuowo/wish/2576772293 2023-05-03 13:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/info9729/nhkyg4uj0a7zuowo/wish/2576772293 Oula Abu-Amsha norrag https://padlet.com/info9729/nhkyg4uj0a7zuowo/wish/2576791771 I always think of the WB recommendation for years to African Countries to not to develop higher education]]> 2023-05-03 13:55:27 UTC https://padlet.com/info9729/nhkyg4uj0a7zuowo/wish/2576791771 https://padlet.com/info9729/nhkyg4uj0a7zuowo/wish/2576796483 What are your prospects on this path on decolonising the aid sector with an emphasis on education?]]> 2023-05-03 13:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/info9729/nhkyg4uj0a7zuowo/wish/2576796483 Switzerland is in the process of developing its 2025-2028 strategy for international cooperation.

Do you know of any weak points that could be exploited to bring this discussion to the fore? E.g. debt justice https://padlet.com/info9729/nhkyg4uj0a7zuowo/wish/2576799191 2023-05-03 14:00:27 UTC https://padlet.com/info9729/nhkyg4uj0a7zuowo/wish/2576799191 https://padlet.com/info9729/nhkyg4uj0a7zuowo/wish/2576801815 As long as national political leaders don't understand that they get their legitimacy from their citizen, they will never be able to negociate with donors such as the IMF and the WB. This also have implication on local and national governance and involvement of national stakeholders in developement policies and strategies.
