Lets talk about the elephant in the room: the world of international development is run by two actors, expats and nationals, who don't seem to talk. They work in the same organisations with similar goals but expats fly in and out carrying a sense of superiority and nationals become disgruntled and disillusioned with their work. Where development is ultimately about people, this lack of strong relationships and local knowledge means that much aid leads to little impact. But we can do better, so let start to talk!
