The international development sector is facing a reckoning.
This series explores how global aid and philanthropy can move beyond top-down, foreign-led interventions to truly center local leadership.
Drawing inspiration from recent discussions on the future of aid, we investigate emerging models that replace outdated paradigms and envision a decolonized development landscape.
Proximate is an independent media platform covering movements for participatory problem-solving. We look at the news through the lens of money: how it’s given away, how it’s invested, and how it’s distributed by government.
We are a fiscally sponsored project of Movement Strategy Center.
