International Development Consultant
Kim Young Development advances justice-centered strategy, decolonial practice and Global South leadership through consulting, advisory work, speaking and thought partnership.
Introduction
Global development justice matters now more than ever because the world is confronting overlapping crises that expose the structural inequities embedded in global systems — climate vulnerability, uneven access to health and education, extractive economic models and the enduring legacies of colonial rule.
For more than 25 years, Kim Young has worked across the Global South with governments, civil society, academic institutions and international organizations to strengthen systems, elevate marginalized voices and champion equity-driven approaches.

“From this space of respected tolerance comes the greatest movement of the 21st century — the reparatory justice movement against the legacies of slavery, violent colonization and institutional racism.”Prof. Sir Hilary Beckles — Vice-Chancellor, University of the West Indies
