The CIHA Blog continues to bring African perspectives on decolonization to our readers. This post provides a synthesis of discussions from the hybrid event on ‘Decolonizing Aid in Africa,’ sponsored by the Centre for Research, Training and Publications (CRTP) in collaboration with Movement for Community-led Development (MCLD) in Nairobi, Kenya on June 14th, 2024. The hybrid event brought together 110 participants from Africa and other parts of the world, and sought to connect many of the themes of aid “localization” to “decolonization.” This event was organized by the Centre for Research, Training and Publications (CRTP) in collaboration with the Movement for Community-led Development (MCLD). Ms. Gunjan Veda, Global Secretary - MCLD, Dr. Elias Opongo, SJ, CIHA Blog Co-Editor and Director – CRTP, and Ms. Rose Mbone, Founder – TLK, led the discussions. (Next on this topic, the CIHA Blog will report on a recent presentation on decolonizing humanitarianism, focusing on the context of Cameroon, by Nadine Machikou and Cecelia Lynch.)
