on my view, local voices are often present but not always truly heard in global conversations. They may be invited to the table, but structural inequalities, such as language barriers, funding gaps, digital divides, and unequal access to decision-making spaces — can prevent them from influencing outcomes in a meaningful way.
At the same time, when local actors do succeed in breaking through, their impact can be transformative. Local voices carry firsthand knowledge of realities on the ground, cultural contexts, and lived experiences that global institutions often lack. Without them, policies risk being disconnected from the people they are supposed to serve.
So, for global conversations to be more inclusive and effective, there needs to be:
– Real power-sharing (not tokenistic inclusion).
– Capacity and resource support for grassroots leaders.
– Platforms that amplify local expertise in ways that influence decisions, not just narratives.Created 08/26/2025 at 2:02 pmReply -
