Leaders' Series 2012
The Leaders’ Series is an exclusive bi-monthly series of discussions for directors and senior staff of all Bond member organisations.
The series provides an opportunity to network and share perspectives with peers, and hear different and challenging opinions on common problems faced by the sector.
Some of the topics for the 2012 series will include:
‘Shifting geopolitics and the implications for UK NGOs'
Are emerging powers shifting the paradigm of international development? Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – the BRICS - are now major players in international economics, trade, and global development fora.
Has the “game” fundamentally changed? What will become of the “orthodox” approach to aid? Will poor people who live in middle-income countries matter less to Western donors in the future?
‘Re-engaging the UK public with international development?’
Authors Andrew Darnton and Martin Kirk presented the key findings of the report ‘Finding Frames: New ways to engage the UK public in global poverty’, and discussed their theoretical and practical implications for the international development sector in March 2011.
Even if the government is successful in defending its ring-fencing of aid, to build public understanding and support for development will remain a crucial challenge facing UK NGOs in 2012 and 2013.
All events are held in central London. Contact Boris Wolf if you have any questions about the series or specific events.
