StoryCast 5: Impact Direct

In this storycast Inemarie Dekker & Nicky Wakou introduce you to the iMPACT direct foundation who change the story of giving by making it possible to direct donate to local non-profits. Their conversation touches on aid fatigue experienced by donors, donor recipients, the importance of building trust between donors and recipients, the inclusion of communities in the solutions seeking, and decision-making. Inemarie is the founder of iMPACT direct.  She worked 15 years in the development sector with expertise on social inclusion and gender. Presently she continues to build on her ten-year experience as a consultant for various NGOs (local, national and INGOs). Inemarie believes that power relations in global development impede lasting impact and shows an alternative with Impact Direct. Nicky  joined the iMPACT direct board and team with ten years of experience in Europe-Africa relations and in particular  political and humanitarian affairs. At iMPACT direct, she helms strategic communications and stakeholder management.  Nicky believes in a collaborative approach that includes local experts and affected communities.
