IVCO 2022 is less than two weeks away, and we are looking forward to seeing many of you in Senegal. Today we continue our Think Piece Series with three thought-provoking pieces by leading thinkers in our sector:

•  by Dr. Alice Chadwick El-Ali and Samuel Turay asks what IVCOs can do to centre Southern expertise in our work, and identifies four identify four ‘enablers’ for IVCOs to become equitable partners in a new volunteering for development movement.
•  d’Ingrid Adovi et Olga Houde de Programme CLÉ, raite des avantages de réunir des volontaires d’origines diverses dans une perspective intersectionnelle, en particulier pour les mandats stratégiques tels que l’égalité et l’inclusion des genres. An English translation is available here.

•  by academics Cliff Allum, Peter Devereux, Rebecca Tiessen and Benjamin Lough asks whether the call for urgent action on climate has been heard and actioned by Forum members, and calls for innovative models, conceptual frameworks, and culturally relevant, Global South-driven policies and practices.

We will publish more think pieces every Wednesday before the start of IVCO 2022.
