Earth at night

I’m looking forward to speaking at the 2018 National Conference of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID), in my role as ACFID Development Economics Advisor. The overarching theme this year is Human Rights in the 21st Century, the two-day conference will be held 30-31 October in Sydney. You can register your attendance here.

In this timely period, this year’s ACFID National Conference will ask how the Australian international development and humanitarian sector can apply human rights in the light of contemporary challenges.  

Through the overarching themes of “People  Planet  Peace”; the conference will bring forth content on human rights as they relate directly to the wellbeing of people, healthy ecosystems and the environment and in the broader context of peace, civil society and human security.  

From reflections about what is happening out in the world, to deeper explorations of particular focus areas and through the diversity of voices brought to you this year; ACFID National Conference 2018 will inspire and challenge your ways of working – offering critiques and stimulating debate on the integration of human rights with development and humanitarian efforts and what we need to focus on as the world continues to fluctuate around us.
