About this course
This four-week online course reimagines Diversity, Equity and Inclusion through a global majority lens. Moving beyond corporate and Eurocentric DEI frameworks, it centres intersectionality, power, and lived experience within international development and humanitarian systems – outside of the Global North – for global practitioners. Facilitated by trainers from Bantare Impact Group, leaders in co-creation across Africa, the course combines conceptual grounding with practical tools to help participants design inclusive programmes, lead equity-centred teams, and embed DEI into policies, partnerships, and organisational practice.
