That the Parliament welcomes Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund’s (SCIAF) approach to international development and climate change work, which has evolved over its 60-year history; further welcomes how SCIAF works through its locally-based partners in the majority world, such as in Rwanda, Malawi and Zambia, to ensure that project design and decision-making is being led by people in the Global South; notes, in particular, what it sees as the participatory way in which its Climate Just Communities programme in Rwanda is helping people living at the frontline of the climate crisis design how the projects will be of benefit to them, and calls for the success of this programme to be recognised in future international development and climate change projects.
