Decolonising Foreign Funding Policies from Localised Contexts in Kenya, India and Bangladesh

The research challenges colonial legacies in foreign development funding policies which perpetuate structural inequities and patriarchal violence in the majority world particularly in Kenya, India and Bangladesh. The authors challenge donor imposed priorities which limit organizational autonomy and promote western frameworks at the expense of southern feminist voices. The core argument of the research is that minority world countries promote feminist foreign policies while simultaneously advancing their own political agendas, often overlooking intersectional issues like caste and gender. There is a need to promote reparative justice models as opposed to colonial funding structures. Advocacy can focus on challenging development assistance which advances economic interests.
