Join this ACFID Connect, facilitated by Archie Law AM, who will unpack the transformation journey of an ACFID Member, Act for Peace. This session is designed specifically for governance leaders who are grappling with the issue of whether incremental change in their organisations will be enough. We will explore how Act for Peace moved beyond the comfort zone and embraced transformation by initiating hard conversations long before they were forced to.
The humanitarian and international development sector is facing a reckoning. With humanitarian funding retreating to 2016 levels while global defence spending hits an all-time high of $2.7 trillion, the "peace dividend" of the last 80 years has effectively finished. Intersecting crises from increased conflict to the climate emergency to rampant inequality are demanding a different response from civil society. For Boards and CEOs of civil society organisations, the central question is often less likely to be about growth and more likely to be about survival.
The program will include a confidential peer-to-peer dialogue, providing a safe space for Directors to grapple with their own challenges and desires for their organisations. You will discuss how to steer transformation from the governance level and what is required from your Board.
