“Making Sustainable Group Decisions”: A webinar with Aley Kent, International Rescue Committee

Making project decisions can be difficult to be begin with, but add the complexity of multiple stakeholders to the picture and coming to an inclusive decision can seem near impossible. Community Food Projects, which involve multiple organizations and community members, can benefit from clear decision-making procedures that are built on a realistic understanding of how this process can work. This webinar will take look at how groups come to agreement, why members disagree, and discuss examples of ways to foster full participation, ensure mutual understanding, and build shared responsibility to facilitate inclusive solutions and move forward.

Aley Kent, Technical Advisor for Food Security and Agriculture for the International Rescue Committee’s US Program, has almost 20 years of experience in participatory program development and evaluation, and specializes in building awareness around and tools for working with local communities and organizations in more responsive and collaborative ways. Her efforts boost frontline staff capacity to address power dynamics, build stronger community leadership and management skills, and promote local ownership and control.
