About Me:
Jennifer Lentfer has worked with over 300 grassroots organizations in east and southern Africa over the past decade, focusing on organizational development and learning. Currently, she is the creator/editor of www.how-matters.org, a blogsite aimed at putting real resources behind local means of overcoming obstacles.
My dream:
Rather than being the lowest common denominator of international assistance, local, indigenous organizations are regarded as the fundamental unit of effective development aid and are recognized as vital to achieving demand-driven development that can genuinely challenge power asymmetries and unleash social change.
I'm proud of:
Jennifer's work is an expression of a professional, but more importantly, a personal resolve to support aid practitioners to become more effective in facilitating the development of sovereign local organizations and social movements.
