Great article! Articulates so well the intricacies of working in these conduit roles and in discussing leadership for social change.
From Stew on Useful outsiders – how can external actors support authentic locally led development?
Brilliant article, Anna. You've reminded many of us aspiring useful outsiders to pay attention and to think carefully before wading in. And you're absolutely right to highlight the risk of de-localising. Genuinely locally driven reforms start, but oftentimes end up being distorted as resources and agendas, well-meaning though they might be, flood in from external sources. Really important messages.
From Sara Webb on Useful outsiders – how can external actors support authentic locally led development?
Thanks for your frank, compelling and important articulation of what is required from us, outsiders who aim to assist and support nation building in countries which are not ours. I have long felt that humility is a much under-valued characteristic in our work, and of developmental work in most contexts. And I love the link to Chamorro-Premuzic.
From Linda Kelly on Useful outsiders – how can external actors support authentic locally led development?
Nice one Anna.
From Allen on PNG’s and Fiji’s distinct COVID-19 crises
COVID-19 is responsible for at least 3 million excess deaths in 2020. As of 31 December 2020, covid19 had infected over 82 million people and killed more than 1.8 million worldwide. There is only one hope to fight corona: vaccine.
From Scott MacWilliam on PNG’s economic trajectory: the long view
Why start your time series at Independence? Convenience-for what? Intellectual rigour-hardly? Availability of information-hardly? The predominance of economists on the research panel-most with limited published research on the economic history of PNG?
Apart from information available in ANU libraries, there is the National Library, the National Archives and inter-library loan as well as any number of people living in Canberra with personal collections of information that include the pre-Independence period, which could be utilised for a more substantial `history'.
Is this time series serious research or just another piece of cherry picking like so many previous accounts of PNG, including on agriculture and other aspects of `economic history'?
From Manpreeta Lata on Strategies for education recovery in Fiji
Very useful article. Relevant information provided. More articles of this nature would give assurance of a brighter future for education sector.
