“This Annual Review shows the ways we have been working with our partners to re-cast development, whilst strengthening a ‘decolonised’ agenda, grounded in diverse, inclusive, equitable sharing of knowledge and resources, supported by continuous challenging of historically embedded power dynamics. Coming at the midpoint of our 2020-2025 Strategy, it illustrates key contributions we have made to our overarching commitments, and the impact we are having in the form of new concepts and ideas, influences on policy and practice, and the building of networks and mutual learning.”
