‘Shift the power is nog te elitair’
Moses Isooba werkt al meer dan twee decennia in de ngo-wereld en in donorkringen en is nu uitvoerend directeur van het Uganda National NGO Forum – en ontzettend uitgesproken over shift the power. Zijn advies aan noordelijke organisaties is kraakhelder: laat ‘de controle en het wantrouwen’ los. Een gesprek over de tijdgeest, machtsbegeerte en het ‘donor-industrieel complex’.
Interview dr. Moses Isooba: Shift or share the power?
The next edition of the World Café is scheduled to take place on 20th January 2022. During the event, a number of practitioners and leaders in the NGO and the development arena will be discussing two main subjects; shifting power at work and the need for Northern Organizations to adapt policies and practices to support equal partnerships with their Southern Partners. One of the panelists, Dr. Moses Isooba, boasts of over two decades of work experience in the NGO world as well as in the donor circles. He currently serves as the Executive Director of Uganda National NGO Forum (UNNGOF), an organization that unites national and international NGOs operating in the country. Our Vice Versa contributor Emmanuel Mandebo caught up with Dr. Moses and the two had a candid conversation about Shift the Power movement and power relations between Northern and Southern organizations.
