Non-coercive interactions

Practices to implement

Identify and avoid possible assumptions, misleading motivations and/or acts of imposition of deliberative solutions within the Global South.

Before any interaction, take some time to do Activity 01. Global South Self-Mapping.

Always start with an alignment of interests, goals and conditions for interaction.
  • Openly discussing pros and cons for each organization and/or colleague to be in that interaction to ensure costs and benefits are balanced between Global South actors is as relevant as in North–South interactions.
  • Be transparent about expectations and needs in interactions and collaborations.
