Question 2: Development stakeholders are a person, groups, or institutions with interests in a project or programme, These key stakeholders are those who can significantly influence and are important to the success of the project. Stakeholders can be made up of primary and secondary; primary stakeholders are people and groups ultimately affected by the project and secondary stakeholders are intermediaries in the process of delivering aid to primary stakeholders. We have learned about UN agency (UNICEF), a bilateral donor (SIDA), and an international NGO (CARE). These agencies are used to preserve the peace and security of the world, safeguard human rights, bring in humanitarian aid, support climate action and sustainable development. It will do this by incorporating a rights-based strategy into its Community Capacity Development agenda. The complicated web of interactions between right holders and responsibility bearers is explored through role or pattern analysis. It offers a method for analysing the intricate network of social and political connections. It must be incorporated into a community-building initiative that builds the capacity of citizens to assert their rights. The main objective of Swedish development aid is to combat both poverty and tyranny. Continues to use language stronger than many of its other bilateral agencies when discussing efforts to bring about a world free from injustice and poverty. Incorporating consideration of human rights and involvement of the underprivileged into all aspects. Focuses on fostering understanding of a human rights perspective and raising awareness of how it relates to CARE's activities. Building up the staff's ability to use a rights-based approach in all aspects of CARE's programming. Establishing strategic partnerships with other companies to advance mutual learning. The sustainable development goals (SDGs) are important around the world, and we should put an end to these and reach the goal of completing the 17 SDGs. These include no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry, innovation and infrastructure, reduced inequality, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, climate action, life below water, life on land, peace and justice strong institutions and partnerships to achieve the goal. These are occurring all around the world, and with development projects they can transform our world. Human Rights Conventions include the rights of the children and rights of women. All citizens have the individual right to participate in, contribute to, and enjoy economic, social, cultural, and political development, which enables the full realisation of all human rights and basic freedoms. In addition to being a fundamental human right, gender equality is crucial for the creation of peaceful societies, the realisation of all human potential, and sustainable development. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that empowering women boosts economic development and productivity.

Question 3: The program cycles for International Humanitarian Assistance (IHA) are made up of a program cycle. The involvement of all significant stakeholders in planning, collaborative monitoring, assessment, and decision-making throughout the project's lifetime should be prioritized. The programme cycle goes as planning, implementation, and evaluation. As the launch call for proposals, they select projects, and discuss them with stakeholders, this is when they submit the concept notes and move on to submitting the full proposal. When they collect the signature of the contract, they report requirements and financial obligations. Followed by these steps the start of projects begins and finally ends with project implementation and closure. These steps in the project cycle can be challenging as they are preparing for the start of a new project. As international organizations, NGOs, bilateral funders, and non-governmental organizations started "grounding" their approaches to development practice in human rights law, the human rights-based approach rose to prominence. After all, the Universal Declaration on Human Rights (1948) and other significant standards mainly uphold the fundamental ideas of human rights. The Participatory Rural Appraisal approach uses several strategies to prioritize local knowledge, perspectives, and voice while obtaining data on people's development needs. PRA promotes horizontal relationships in which outsiders, or facilitators, help to foster the open flow of ideas and knowledge among villages, community members, and the underprivileged. The capability-based strategy is begun by challenging the notion that development always entails economic advancement. The development addresses the fundamental requirements of people and families. Individuals' perceptions of utility-based appraisal in development Humans are at the epicentre of development. views human existence as a collection of "doings and beings" or "functioning”, and it connects the evaluation of the functional ability to life quality. Sen adds, "If life is viewed as a collection of "doings and beings" that are valuable, the exercise of measuring the quality of life takes the shape of evaluating these functioning and the capacity to function. These frameworks are significant because they contribute to the significance of a possible international development objective in the modern world. These help us come up with ideas for changing the world and take the correct steps to accomplish our goals.

Question 4: When a Development project takes place, the practitioner needs to be able to “pitch” their Development Project/ Programme effectively/ successfully to donors/ others, since it allows for the team to welcome other members to the project, whether it is financial support or Development support. This brings people from the community to help reach the project goal. This requires practitioners to affectedly be able to “pitch” their project by announcing their sustainable development goal of the project, budgeting, target, and outcome of the project. This will help donors to visualize the project and be able to make financial decisions to help the development project. Practitioners are expected to be loud and clear to their target audience, and this will potentially help them reach their goals in Development. Based on the experience I had prepared a “pitch”, I learned many valuable things, such as how to target the right audience and reach my goal in my “pitch”. This was by discussing the project and sustainable development goal, as how we can make a difference in the future. This was done by discussing those who suffer around the world from underdeveloped countries and how my team and I can make a difference in this world. I was then able to ask for funding to help fund the project and reach our goal. This helped me learn about what it can take to reach goals that seem nearly impossible to reach yet there’s always a way in reaching them. I was also able to learn how to communicate and perform in front of an audience to get my point across. When listening to my classmates during their presentation, I was able to observe the different ways you can present to an audience, as we all presented different projects and s, sustainable development goals and targeted different audiences (male or female, families, or children). This was an excellent experience which everyone can learn a lot from. While all projects were different and their approach to presenting their project, this was a perfect opportunity to listen to one another’s thoughts on a project. Each project was unique from the others, as they were discussing different goals around the world. As everyone’s approach was different as to how they choose to make a difference and introduced different activities and programs to make a difference. When fundraising, this can lead to International Development, as funding is used to make a difference around the world in underdeveloped countries. With this funding, sectors can make improvements to the countries by providing them with clean water, food, shelter, etc. The funding is then used to make these projects happen in these countries as the countries themselves can’t afford to. It is very important to be able to “pitch” ideas well in the Development sector as you must be able to communicate with others, this includes well-known donors, important organizations, etc. Without this ability, you wouldn’t be able to complete your project without those who can make it happen. This can be challenging for some by with practice, one can easily persuade another to become a donor. Public speaking is important as you are the face of the project. One must be able to communicate the goal of the project as well as the outcomes which it makes reach once its complete.

Therefore, when completing an education, public speaking is always practiced building your confidence to be able to perform in front of an audience. Based on my experience and learning from this class, as we completed a “funding pitch”, this gave me an understanding briefly on what International Development can do to the world as things are changing every day and those around the world need the help we can give. With the use of IDS, those are even the ability to examine the issue and prepare an action plan and carry it out in developing countries. With the use of those in International Development, they can make a difference in this world. Globally, international development is significant, and as technology develops and more people are drawn into the sector as the world's population rises, sustainable development objectives will be quicker and simpler to achieve. This increases the effectiveness of everyone working together to fulfil these tasks. Question 5: I’ve learned a variety from guest speakers throughout the semester. Each guest speaker had a different position in the development sector and interdicted so many important meaningful facts. This included their educational background in the sector, their position in the sector, and more in-depth about their criteria in the sector. Guest speaker Meghan Watkinson discussed Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP). Based on her focus on delivering international assistance, through Canadian Aid. Meghan’s position is important as she was working towards gender equality and as a female herself, she is representing other females around the world. The FIAP is working with a multilateral organization to help Canada to address issues on a global scale. This is looking at development from a feminist approach. And with this, feminist international policy has been going on for five years now. Meghan's role is to show other females, the difference they could make if they were involved. Guest speaker Noemie discussed the MSF Public Funding. She discussed how she is responsible for public funding, in the impartial medical and humanitarian organization, using the project cycle she uses a proposal, follows the d by signature the of the contract and the project starts. Noemi e’s position is important as she is working towards making a difference in this world, one step at a time. And without those in her position, projects wouldn’t be able to start. Guest speaker Natalie Zend discussed RBM. She discussed how RBM is about to change and the shifts from what we’re doing to the changes we're making and supporting. This can include being a part of the 17 goals to transform our world. This helps everyone focus on knowing where they want to be, the path they take, and adjusting what they are doing accordingly to ensure they reach their goal (the end). This is assisting both males and females to reach the goals they want to reach in life and making them know how to complete that effectively.

Guest speaker Akiko Maeda discussed whether Development Agencies are fit to serve Unstable World. He discussed how evolving goals of Development institutions are post WWII to present. The impact COVID-19 has had on the global poverty reduction efforts and as we face setbacks since that time. Goals were set into place by 2030 and this will only delay these goals until the world is recovered. Guest speaker Aziz discussed Intercultural Communication. He discussed how intercultural between members of different cultural groups interact and potentially influence one another’s fashion. When speaking/ visiting with another from a different culture it is important to respect them with your language, fashion, and body language. Reacting differently may portray a sign of disrespect towards another religion. Especially when visiting a country which you plan to work with in International Development, you must adapt to their culture to show signs of respect. This will show the level of respect you have for that member and their country, if you fail to do so, they make as you to leave. With the help of these guest speakers, we were able to get a small insight into what the Development field is made up of. For one to become a good Development practitioner, one must be able to dedicate your time to this world to make a difference for everyone. As a female, it was interesting to hear from other women how they have taken a path in their career in which they can make a difference in this world. Now with the help of other women they can use all their power to show other women, how to make an impact in this world. Women are capable of more than men think they are, and this shows that women can make a difference in this world. A good Development practitioner must have the ambition to stand in front of others and discuss how their role in this world will make a difference for us all. This is commitment Development practitioners make when committing to their jobs. In international development, intercultural communication is essential. Cultural boundaries are broken down and understanding of cultural norms is increased through intercultural conversation. Additionally, it improves communication and self-awareness abilities. Since they encourage the adoption and maintenance of beneficial habits as well as desiring the practice, this might be crucial for individuals who live and work as development practitioners.
