DAY 2

Abstract:
Shifting power from grantees and their communities as beneficiaries to decision-makers is an increasing area of focus over the last decade.
But there are no clear rules on how to employ participatory grant-making in various contexts while avoiding the pitfalls of tokenistic engagement.
Challenging traditional power dynamics and empowering grantees and communities as agents of change is also at the bedrock of the global movement towards localisation.
In this discussion, we explore case studies and examples of what-works-when in the context of participatory grant-making.
