During our 69th birthday celebration we will ask ourselves, 'Where do we go from here?'.
Looking at present debates in international development such as technology, social enterprising and decoloniality, we are driving the conversation towards transformation in development. We will also be taking an interactive approach, allowing you to take part in this stimulating conversation by submitting your questions to our host and experts on the panel!
