CIHA BLOG
The CIHA Blog (Critical Investigations Into Humanitarianism in Africa/Investigations Critiques sur l’Humanitarisme en Afrique) seeks to transform the phenomenon of aid to Africa into egalitarian and respectful relationships that challenge unequal power relations, paternalism and victimization. Our research and commentary highlight critical and religious voices to explore the links between issues of faith, governance, gender and race in colonial and post-colonial contexts. Through analysis and dialogue, we aspire to equality, justice and, ultimately, respect for the desires, beliefs and practices of others.
CIHA aims to transform the phenomenon of aid to Africa into a place of egalitarian exchange and mutually respectful relations. Our approach focuses on religious and critical pathways as a starting point for exploring connections between faith, governance, gender and race in colonial and post-colonial contexts. Using a methodology based on analysis and dialogue, we aim for equality and justice, with the ultimate goal of respecting other people’s desires, beliefs and practices.
