Decolonisation of aid: Dialogue #1 - a historical perspective (May 2021)

In the webinars 'The decolonization of aid' KUNO, Partos, and The Institute of Social Studies (ISS) take one step back and approach the discussion on the decolonization of aid in a series of talks. Step by step, we highlight an aspect of this debate. We ask two experts to engage in a conversation with one another to explore the controversies and perhaps find some common grounds.

This first dialogue focusses on a historical perspective with Arua Oko Omaka (fellow at the Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Nigeria) and Bertrand Taithe (professor History of Humanitarian Aid Manchester University, UK).

The webinar is moderated by Kiza Magendane (The Broker) and Thea Hilhorst (International Institute of Social Studies).
