Diversity, Equity & Inclusion for India’s Development Sector is a blog series that seeks to build on the rich discussions and learnings from the #DEIforDevelopment Forum conducted on 20th March, 2023. With Chatham House rules and the participation of 15+ prominent development sector organizations in India, this multi-stakeholder dialogue examined questions around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within India’s development sector. What does DEI really mean? What more can we do?
Each blog in this series focuses on a critical question discussed in our forum, drawing on our organization’s experiences. We explore how unconscious bias appears in the workplace; the nature of inclusive and fair hiring and growth practices; how leadership can influence DEI policies and how technology can be a force multiplier. We believe DEI should be consistent and intentional in both thought and practice. Through this series, we aim to continue the conversation and inspire meaningful change on a larger scale.
