*Right Hon Anneliese Dodds – UK Gov. Minister*

UK Government Minister for Development at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and Minister for Women and Equalities at the Department of Education, Right Hon Anneliese Dodds MP is guest of honour at the launch. She believes that the partnership in working with CSOs needs to be more than a partnership of words but one of change which is also inclusive of youth and women and other marginalized groups. We agree!

*Robert White – CEO of Tilitonse Foundation*

Tilitonse Foundation’s CEO Robert White comments on the fact that funder’s view working with the Shifting the Power model as risky:
“Anything that has changed people’s lives, anything that has changed the world has been a risk and it does not mean that risks should be avoided but faced head on for us to achieve change”

*Ibrahim-Tanko Amidu – Star Ghana Foundation’s CEO*

Star Ghana Foundation’s CEO Ibrahim-Tanko Amidu comments on the value of appreciating varying perspectives when considering working with the Shifting the Power model:

“When we talk of risk what risk are we talking about? Communities also face risk in working with us. It is not just about us working with communities but for also the communities working with us and how we come together to mitigate that risk.”
