ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND
Adeso is a vibrant African-based development and humanitarian organization. At Adeso, we work with African communities that are on the path toward realizing their full potential by working inside these communities to create environments in which Africans can thrive. We work to prevent and overcome situations that adversely affect community well-being by: reinvigorating the economy, developing skills for life and work, providing humanitarian aid, and influencing policy. For the past 30 years, we have strengthened rural livelihoods through environmental awareness, training, technology transfer, and innovative humanitarian projects in pursuit of a peaceful, self-reliant, and greener future.
Currently, Adeso has programs in Somalia. In addition, Adeso has proven itself to be one of the foremost leaders in the ongoing global effort to decolonize the humanitarian and development aid system. Adeso currently leads coalitions to re-imagine aid to shift power, resources, and decision making toward Global South communities where they will ultimately be the most effective, enduring and transformative. Adeso is a great place to work that is currently experiencing managed rapid growth. We have great benefits, a great team, and we pride ourselves on our opportunities for personal growth and development.
PROJECT SUMMARY
Adeso is also a leader in systemic changes for decolonizing the humanitarian and development aid system. Adeso currently leads a coalition of INGOs to re-imagine their roles in aid and how they can contribute to shifting power towards Global South communities that aid claims to support.
The Pledge for Change brings together key INGO leaders for honest conversations about their organizations’ current roles in maintaining neocolonial structures in the global aid system and for developing joint strategies, and concrete and significant steps towards decolonization of the organizations they lead as well as the wider aid system. They convene monthly to debate and define long-term commitments their organizations can make to decolonize, with the goal to publicly announce the pledges and use them to create momentum and advocate forward for systemic change with peer organizations and donors to also join in the actions set. This leadership includes CEOs from Oxfam International, Care International, Save the Children, Plan International and Christian Aid. The Pledge for Change will be rolled out by September 2022.
