From par­tic­i­pa­to­ry grant­mak­ing mod­els to a reverse call for pro­pos­als, how can we change fund­ing prac­tices to shift pow­er and forge a new and emer­gent role for those who pro­vide resources?

How might we design and imple­ment a sys­tem that also holds INGOs and donors account­able to the local and nation­al CSOs they sup­port or part­ner with? How might we nego­ti­ate a more equal shar­ing of risks in part­ner­ships?

What are the dif­fer­ent ways that we can co-cre­ate part­ner­ships of gen­uine sol­i­dar­i­ty between inter­na­tion­al actors and local civ­il soci­ety that are effec­tive, trust-based, empow­er­ing and equi­table?

What is the role of lead­er­ship and gov­er­nance in shift­ing pow­er? In what ways can we trans­form lead­er­ship and gov­er­nance mod­els to over­come obsta­cles and pri­ori­tise more equi­table prac­tices?
