Advisory, research, and strategic consulting services for institutions committed to justice-centred, locally-led development.
Kim Young provides a range of advisory, analytical, and strategic services across the full spectrum of international development practice — always grounded in a justice-centred, decolonial, and Global South-focused approach.
Rigorous, politically-aware analysis that centres Global South perspectives in policy discussions and development frameworks.
High-level strategic support for institutions navigating complex development landscapes, funding environments, and institutional change.
Supporting organisations to engage strategically with international donors — from EU and UN institutions to bilateral funders — while maintaining programmatic integrity.
Embedding all 17 Sustainable Development Goals into institutional strategies, programme designs, and policy frameworks — with particular emphasis on equality, justice, and accountability.
Strategic communications and thought leadership writing that reframes Global South experiences — moving beyond aid narratives toward justice, agency, and structural analysis.
In-depth analysis of the geopolitical shifts — including the BRICS realignment, post-COVID international order, and evolving development financing — that directly affect Global South development outcomes.
Advisory and facilitation support for organisations seeking to meaningfully examine and shift their internal power dynamics, funding relationships, and programmatic assumptions.
Embedding equality — gender, economic, racial, and generational — as a foundational dimension across all development strategies, policies, and institutional frameworks.
Kim Young consults for the International School for Development Justice (ISDJ) among other EU and UN institutions and institutions across the Global South — welcoming collaboration with institutions committed to locally-led, justice-centred development.
UN agencies, EU institutions, bilateral development banks, and multilateral bodies.
Universities, research centres, policy institutes, and graduate schools of development and governance.
NGOs, development networks, advocacy organisations, and community-based institutions.
Ministries, regional bodies, national development agencies, and policy reform commissions.

Every engagement considers the full scope of the UN 2030 Agenda. Particular emphasis is placed on SDGs 1, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 16 and 17 — poverty, education, gender equality, decent work, reduced inequalities, climate action, peace and justice, and partnerships for the goals.

Rigorous assessment of the political, structural, and contextual factors shaping the issue.
Developing justice-centred, locally-grounded approaches in genuine collaboration with your team.
