About the Research

This research focuses on better practices in public engagement in the international cooperation sector. To strengthen sector actors’ public engagement work, the ICN explores decolonial, anti-racist and feminist approaches. Broadly, this research focuses on big social justice questions around equity and power providing space for introspection and aims to:

• Highlight decolonial, anti-racist and feminist practices in public engagement from different locations with different actors;
• Curate tools and practices that can inform more ethical practices in our decolonial, anti-racist and feminist work;
• and shape narratives and priorities in policy and practice within the sector that will hopefully contribute to transformative change.

The research outcomes are shared in the following:

• A short introduction video explaining the reasons behind the research
• A research summary document (1 pager)
• A research report (long version)
