Dr Amal Nazzal

Dr. Amal Nazzal, an expert in NGOization and feminist organizing, joins Soheir Asaad, a Palestinian political organizer at Rawa, for an insightful discussion on the impact of NGOization on Palestinian civil society. They explore the ways funding alters activism, examining how donor conditions often depoliticize grassroots efforts. Soheir underscores the detrimental effects of humanitarianism in the context of Gaza and critiques traditional philanthropy's fragmentation of movements. Together, they propose community-driven alternatives that aim to restore power and self-determination.
