Development from a distance: Exploring an international non‐profit's interactions with communities during the COVID‐19 pandemic

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: A case study analysis of an international development non-profit identifies strategies and decision-making processes utilized to engage community members in person and virtually during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The strategies employed led to a continuation of projects in the field, potentially excluding some stakeholder groups from decision-making processes at the community level. Staff members described how power dynamics and geographic distance affected internal decision-making for community involvement, highlighting the importance of adopting a critical self-reflection approach to facilitate communication among an intercultural team for more equitable community engagement.
