To shift aid culture toward adaptive management, we can: - Stay humble, empathetic, and build skills in facilitation and listening. - Focus on working with more flexible foundations or individual donors. Or, work for more rigid donors and help make their policies more flexible. - Get clearer about goals and processes while finding ways to be less specific and more committed to local leadership about pathways to get to the goal. - Resist looking for a magic adaptive management tool and instead get clearer about when teams make what kinds of decisions and matching to tools that support that decision-making. - Validate that everyone’s perspective is a form of data and try out simple ways to document how teams learns and changes. - Broaden and ground the idea of expertise – remembering that, especially when working with folx on the margins, people are the only experts on their own life. Practitioners must also examine how dominant patriarchal, white supremacist, colonial ideas have pushed us toward wanting more control, less flexibility, and less space for equitable decision making.
