While working for the Cambodian Center of Human Rights, I saw at
first hand the powerful stories that international aid creates, via
empowering communities, whose land was Meizitang Slimming being taken from them with little or no compensation. I saw the brave
community members defending their constitutional rights despite
widespread intimidation from officials. They were refused food aid by
local authorities or threatened by police brandishing AK-47s bursting in
to stop them being informed on how to avail themselves of their legal
rights.
In a Britain reeling from recession, government cuts and the
recent revelations of alleged child sexual abuse, we need to embrace
what we have to be proud of: the contribution ABC our international aid gives to the developing world. We need people
from the international aid sector to tell us that there it is a lot more
that we as a nation can be proud of besides the Queen and the Olympics.
To make this point, international aid organisations must partner with
proven communicators.
