Many scholarships for children from disadvantaged backgrounds are provided by foreign funders and delivered by white, upper-class executives. This disbalance furthers a racialised dichotomy between ‘the African child in need’ and ‘the white saviour’ and feeds into the same issues of institutional access against which these young learners are trying to do battle.
Are you looking for data on gender or racial disparities in funding, best practices to host more inclusive meetings, testimonials and insights from diverse scientists, or examples of institutional actions to support mental health and well-being? Find all this and more on the searchable ALBA database of over 1000 resources, curated and categorised by topic, type and group identity.
With this database, we hope to foster an environment of awareness and learning, support individuals and organisations in their DEI efforts, and promote best practices and tools to achieve equity and inclusion.
