Hvordan kan vi arbejde med og blive bedre til at sikre udvikling, der er forankret lokalt? Mange frivillige organisationer og NGO’er samarbejder tæt med lokale organisationer og samfund i det globale syd for at forbedre levevilkår, fremme rettigheder og meget mere.
Men at arbejde ’nedefra og op’ og have et ’deltagerorienteret’ fokus har også nogle faldgruber, som kan forhindre de gode intentioner i at blive fuldt ud realiseret.
