International Development Beyond 2020

ACGC Annual Conference, September 23-25, 2020

2020 has been a pivotal year in the world. The emergence of the global Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting economic impacts are affecting the ability of international development organizations in Alberta to carry out their missions. Within this crisis, heightened public calls to address gender and racial inequality, demands that we re-examine how we approach our work, and make the transformative changes needed to fulfill the UN Sustainable Development Goals at home and across the world. 

Let’s Talk About It: Race and Privilege in Development Work at Home and Abroad

Moderated by Dr. Philomena Okeke-Ihejirika, the panel discusses the emergence of the global Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting economic impacts are affecting the ability of the international development organizations in Alberta to carry out our missions. Within this crisis, heightened, and well overdue public calls to address gender and racial inequality, demand that we re-examine how we approach our work, and call on us to make the transformative changes needed to fulfill the UN Sustainable Development Goals at home and across the world.
