“Why DEI measures and pledges continue to fall short on achieving racial justice and equity in global development”
On Wednesday, December 14, 2022, EDGE Funders Alliance and the Racial Equity Index are pleased to invite you for a webinar on the state of racial equity in global development, and how this issue is reflected within philanthropic organisations. While exploring how philanthropy itself is rooted in issues of racial inequity, this conversation will also present some key alternatives and visions that are key to lasting systemic change in the sector at large.
Since July 2020, the global development sector has seen numerous calls for accountability on the ongoing racism and racial violence in global development organizations. A number of pledges along with learning circles have been created to support organizations in ‘doing better’ on DEI effort. However these initiatives continue to fall short of true accountability and justice for those who have been harmed by the ongoing racial violence and racism in the global development sector.
