Our overarching aim
To work towards a better-supported, informed and cohesive UK Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) civil society, aware of its contributions to international development and able to participate strategically in these.
Our objectives
We intend to achieve the overarching aim by:
- Creating opportunities for diverse BME groups to interact and identify common interest in international development, and share learning and experiences with each other;
- Understanding, acknowledging and disseminating information on the contribution made by BME groups to international development;
- Assisting in developing the capacity of BME groups so that they may become more actively involved in international development;
- Mainstreaming BME perspectives on international development within DFID and other development organisations;
- Strengthening international development networks and channels of communication involving BME groups.
