What is the future role of INGOs if such locally led, equal partnerships are a reality?</p> <p>We discuss this with <a href="https://nl.linkedin.com/in/abdilaziz-musa-yusuf-3a27237" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Abdilaziz Musa</a>, Director of Programs at the Somali NGO ‘<a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fmedia-ink.org%2f&c=E,1,Ubqmrg9qLSX5KGZq_Ik857x8tbzJBVKaNW080CL0ISIfSj-Nw1hqWQRM17b6FpFLK5FMUMDNWJsWemUgY3w2lLaHEmpFwgY2XOlwScCKJWsIGZIc5b0Q0rq8mjU,&typo=1" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Media Ink</a>’ who wrote a <a href="https://kpsrl.org/publication/towards-effective-partnership-and-shared-ownership-a-framework-based-on-edi." rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">report</a> about linking the concept of ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’ (DE&I) to international partnerships.
