Most of our participants come from multilateral or bilateral donor organisations, international NGOs, local NGOs, umbrella organisations and CSOs, or are academics, entrepreneurs, or consultants. We welcome anyone who is interested in working in the development and relief sectors. We cater for an international audience, drawing from the multi-cultural experiences of the group. We select participants without regard for gender, marital status, race, ethnic origin, colour, religion, sexual orientation, disability, social background, or any other irrelevant distinction.
