As a person who has collaborated on projects amplifying local knowledge and local community initiatives to address local community problems in Ghana, Haiti & Kenya, I affirm this need for further mutality & collaboration giving smaller organizations & Community groups wider access & inclusion into funding streams. I say this as a person who also for a decade served as Storytelling Consultant at the World Bank across multiple sectors/regions as I witnessed exclusion of local knowledge which is what propelled me into working at the World Bank in the first place. Larger organizations need to listen more fully to the communities they serve. 🙏

Thank you Kristin. And I salute your years "in the trenches" of the World Bank and other settings that don't easily default to listening first, second, and third!
