Building Equitable Partnerships: Tools to Shift the Power in Development

The development sector faces a crucial challenge: how to shift power toward locally led development. Achieving this requires addressing how power dynamics are deeply rooted in the language and structures that define relationships in the sector. Building on over three years of research and dialogue, this session introduced practical tools developed through Plan and SDDirect’s Equitable Partnerships Initiative, an innovation project supporting the realisation of Pledge for Change commitments.

Expert speakers highlighted real-world lessons learned from piloting equitable partnership tools within Plan’s global network, shared insights on implementing practical changes, as well as rethinking the narratives and dynamics that shape partnership models.
