Local perspectives on today’s urgent challenges
Amidst the current 30-year high in global conflict and some of the most challenging humanitarian situations of a generation, local leaders continue to play essential roles. CDA believes this expertise and insight is essential for sustainable peaceful change. We want to be part of expanding the space for such perspectives. For three years, CDA’s From Where I Stand blog has been a virtual learning platform to amplify those leading humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding efforts in their own contexts.
This year, we’re launching a new phase of the platform, with a specific focus on perspectives of local leaders and experts working in complex and protracted emergencies. Written or oral pieces in any language are welcome. To contribute or get more information, please contact Hasangani Edema at [email protected].
