Text of the page (random words):
t be mistaken for a nut job conspiracy theorist a member of the oath keepers or a garden variety insurrectionist slash militia member you ll also want to avoid arriving at an airport in the us wearing a condor tactical hat in desert sand and carrying a passport full of stamps from countries that count as deep field as this could lead to potentially awkward conversations with the fbi in any case the days of stinky chacos and goofy elephant print pants at coordination meetings are over get some tactical gear and look like you mean business leave a comment from stuff expat aid workers like 225 toolkits february 1 2021 tags stuffexpataidworkerslike toolkits by shotgun shack after a decade of research monitoring and evaluation and international conferencing eaws and even some donors have finally accepted that mobile apps are not a silver bullet that fixes deeply rooted issues in development and humanitarian contexts a good toolkit though now that s another story any complex issue can be easily broken down and resolved with a well designed toolkit men dominating the discussions at community meetings drop a gender toolkit with some best practices private sector tech partners contributing to genocide by weaponizing information an advocacy toolkit on disinformation will help you convince big tech to change their business models child marriage on the rise due to natural disasters hire a human centered design firm make a snazzy toolkit and every family will understand the value of girls in time for the next big flood worried that your ingo might be racist use this year s left over budget for a decolonizing development toolkit and you ll be on your way to a more equitable world when creating a toolkit it is important that the content fit into a few pages if not people will start asking for checklists and everyone knows we don t want this to be a tick box exercise at the same time the toolkit must be detailed enough to cover every hypothetical situation that could ever come up for any team in any possible context otherwise the toolkit will not get good uptake the best way to ensure you cover any possible situation is to make sure you have a robust review process meaning one person from every team at your organization provides input into at least 5 drafts of the toolkit a k a participation if you are creating a toolkit as part of a consortium or a working group e g you are coordinating this means having several people from each organization providing their feedback on all drafts once your toolkit consultant has sorted through all the input and you ve had several meetings with key stakeholders to ensure that their advocacy and branding messages are worded correctly you ll need to create an acknowledgements page be sure to thank every eaw and ingo middle or upper management staff by name so that the toolkit has credibility don t worry about naming local ngo staff or community members who provided most of the ideas and experiences and good practices covered in the toolkit as the toolkit is for their benefit and their contribution is obviously part of your localization efforts or something also make sure you add a disclaimer noting that nothing in the toolkit represents the views of any of the organizations or donors involved and that any ideas in the toolkit are the sole responsibility of the consultant unless of course the toolkit is really good and starts to gain lots of traction in that case let it be known that the contents belong to the agency or donor that came into the consortium at the last minute and agreed to pay for the design e g the one with the largest logo on the front cover a great thing about covid 19 is that everyone everywhere is working from home so there is no need to print your toolkit this saves a lot of money all toolkits can now be living documents never printed and endlessly iterated as jargon and proper wording shift over time thanks to zoom you can launch your toolkit online too rather than having to organize a lot of in person workshops this saves even more money and increases your reach do be sure to invite local staff and communities to the online toolkit launch and training so that they can build their capacity toolkits are great they can solve just about any problem in any context they are one of the most versatile and scalable solutions in the aid world if you really can t figure out how to solve a problem it s probably because you haven t invested sufficiently in toolkit development so get yourself a consultant put together an advisory group and get to work on developing a toolkit you will be well on your way to changing even the most intransigent behaviors addressing complex historical legacies and shifting power dynamics that contribute to poverty and conflict 1 comment from stuff expat aid workers like 224 deep field january 26 2021 tags stuffexpataidworkerslike deep field by j the field or possibly hq inconclusive photo by author for as long as there have been expat aid workers eaws they have understood and expressed their own relevance in terms of location it s not about what you do it s all about where you do it and before you get all indignant in the comments thread think about how much meaning eaw derive from bitching about hq establishing field cre d or blogging for the folks back home and how dependent all of those things are on distinctions between the field and well everywhere else but now that has been celebs can start their own ngos and random dudes can ride their motorcycles around africa the designation of the field has begun to lose its illusive luster now that you can get a starbuck s latte in hanoi or baku fun fact starbuck s is in more countries than irc the where of what we do as a defining element is now a matter of consternation an issue in need of clarification thanks in large part to eaw innovation and resilience we have a new designation for those hardcore badasses who are really doing it deep field the basic formula is as follows nice places hq places not nice enough to be hq the field really really bad places deep field while of course the inter agency standards for what counts as field versus deep field are still a matter of fierce debate and lots of poseurs in places like nairobi or beirut try to front on social media like they re in deep field it usually comes down to things like internet stability weekend party options or cheese in local supermarkets if you can read this you re not in deep field 4 comments from stuff expat aid workers like 223 being woke january 19 2021 tags stuffexpataidworkerslike being woke by j if there is one thing that sets today s expat aid workers eaw apart from their counterparts of prior decades it is that they are woke whereas 10 or 20 years ago a newb in this field needed to have read roland bunch linda polman or carlos casteneda today s eaw reading list is more likely to include ta nehisi coates ibram x kendi or you know hugo slim it is important for eaws to be aware of and in touch with real issues why well obviously because the eaw has a moral and ethical obligation to call out examples of non woke ness whenever those are encountered say the eaw has a mission to some pluralistic context where local colleagues of one ethnicity oppress colleagues of another ethnicity it is up to the eaw to call that out it is on the eaw to use their privilege to point out the inherent racism in the locations and layout of azraq or dadaab or the injustice of trutier it is the morally obligated duty of the woke eaw to bring local colleagues up to speed on the systemic oppression in south sudan or venezuela it is incumbent on the thoughtfully woke eaw to help local colleagues understand the horrors of child marriage afghanistan yemen the potential for exploitation built into beneficiary biometric data collection too many places to mention or the paradox being anti the authoritarian kurdish regime while being pro separation and calling the place kurdistan super woke eaws can even help local colleagues begin to work on and overcome their own biases and prejudices and unpack their privilege the responsibilities of today s eaw are heavy indeed but being woke is the first step toward illuminating injustices and everyone knows you can t fix a problem that you can t see it is important to note that one of the rules of being a woke eaw is to let everyone around you know how woke you are there are many ways to do this but the most effective way is to engage in the most seriously earnest critique that you can possibly muster on every issue in every situation for maximum effect earnest critique as a means of woke signaling should be expressed by eaws to their local colleagues you need to let your local colleagues know just how deeply offended you are on their behalf by whatever it is that those other expats did or said or by whatever was deemed offensive centering the conversation on your own experiences and feelings about these issues does much to repair decades of harm holding other eaws to account for outdated views is usually counterproductive but if you must do it righteous indignation is probably the best option what you really want is for all the locals to think that you re somehow different and that difference is that you re woke or at least more woke than all the other eaws and you are willing to stand humbly and selflessly in the spotlight while leading the charge for change so put your local team to work churning out next year s budget or this week s 3ws and go tweet about systemic oppression 2 comments from stuff expat aid workers like 222 spreading democracy january 11 2021 tags stuffexpataindworkerslike spreading democracy by shotgun shack as every eaw knows democracy is the best form of government ever and it only exists in the united states canada and england and some parts of the eu and possibly india and costa rica a critical role of eaws is helping spread democracy to the rest of the world which doesn t have it this can be done in many ways but the best results come when it is done via democracy and governance funding from countries that have true democracies capitalist democracies not social ones democratic governance and human rights are critical components of sustainable development and lasting peace countries that have ineffective government institutions rampant corruption and weak rule of law have a 30 to 45 percent higher risk of civil war and higher risk of extreme criminal violence than other developing countries there is so much that less developed countries can learn from long standing democracies about the role of strong institutions for ensuring broad civic participation transparency and accountability from elected officials and smooth transitions of power for example protecting and promoting human rights ensuring the possibility for free and fair elections combating disinformation strengthening digital safety for new and traditional media and incorporating rule of law and justice can be built right into human rights programming for surefire results with a few exceptions eaws are proud of their democracies and grateful that following their years of self sacrifice and building up of their savings they can return to their home countries or one of the lesser democracies where the weather is better to enjoy their waning years somewhere just peaceful and stable where all citizens can fulfill their potential right up there with capacity building and stamping out corruption spreading the cherished values of democracy is one of the best ways that eaws can help the world become a better place 1 comment from stuff expat aid workers like toonseawl the end of 2020 january 6 2021 tags end of 2020 by seawl leave a comment from stuff expat aid workers like toonseawl 221 embracing change january 4 2021 tags stuffexpataidworkerslike embracing change by seawl it s hard to believe that it s been over 10 years since stuffexpataidworkerslike emerged as a hashtag and we ran our first post here at stuff expat aid workers like and holy crap things have changed since then the venerable toyota land cruiser that gets us to our coordination meetings had a msrp of around us 30 000 in 2010 in 2021 the base model lists for a cool us 85k and has a 9 inch touchscreen multi media system better than most team houses had in 2010 expat aid workers eaws have seen so much change in the past decade it s a wonder they are still holding it together the joint standards initiative brought about the merger of the hap and pia which birthed chsa and just a few other acronyms whereas the haiti earthquake was still a response in progress in december of 2010 now it s ancient history afghanistan once foreboding and hardcore is now just another humanitarian crossroads a place to go when juba has begun to lose its deep field appeal cambodia formerly a field cred destination is now an r r destination and amid all this disorienting change eaws have to manage the ongoing stress of wondering why the sphere project never endorsed the joint standards initiative or the chs old timers can often be heard in fascinating discourse on this topic over beers at a corner table while newbies back from cxb or nes try to one up each other with stories about amouda and erbil eaws now have to deal with the nexus and gone are the days when the edgy eaw could make waves by suggesting cash transfer programming ctp might be better than in kind food and basic goods distribution it s now called cva and it comprises 18 of all humanitarian aid instead of easy debates on fuel efficient stoves the eaw must now be able to convincingly argue for or against the merits of blockchain biometrics and beneficiary data sharing in 2010 eaws could follow bill easterly and jeffrey sachs for cutting edge aid system debates or dambisa moyo if they were really cynical now bill easterly is in apparent twitter retirement as is the mythical bill westerly old guard humanitarian and development blogs like texasinafrica last post 2014 and blood and milk last post 2015 that ruled the humanitarian information superhighway now lie fallow the guardian s corporatizing of the humanitarian blogosphere has fallen by the wayside in place of blogs the savvy modern eaw keeps up to date via multiple humanitarian themed facebook groups and instagram accounts the sachs easterly debate has been replaced by mostly friendly feuds between 50 shades of aid and humanitarian clusterposting aka shaders and the hcp incels humanitarian
