Navigating power inequalities between Northern and Southern NGOs: A new academic study on what actions are being taken, by whom and to what effect.

What can we learn from all the talk & practice on ‘Shifting Power’?

Drawing on more than 450 survey respondents and 53 interviews in the Global North and South, the report highlights sources of power imbalances, who does what to change it, limitations, barriers and priorities. Ultimately, the report draws a clear conclusion: there is a need to go beyond actions within programmes and individual organisations. There is a need to revise the broader framework in which aid actors operate.
