Justice Based Approach
Next course dates: 29 August – 9 October 2025
Apply by 30 June
In response to unprecedented aid cuts, we’re offering 100 fully funded spaces on the Justice Based Approach Foundation Course starting this September — the course that’s already trained over 2,500 people across 100 countries to reimagine aid, rethink power, and rebuild systems rooted in justice.
The aid sector is collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions. As leaders slash funding, dismantle institutions, tear up contracts, and abandon communities, we’re not waiting around. We’re building something different: solidarity-fuelled, grassroots-led transformation.
The Justice Based Approach was created for this moment and delivers the skills, tools, networks, and paradigms needed to truly reimagine aid. From project technicians, JBA creates system architects. From NGOs, JBA creates movements. From scarcity, JBA creates abundance. Theory and practice combine in one of the most inspiring, practical journeys ever created for humanitarians, development workers, and social and environmental justice activists.
- Applications are open until 30 June, and we welcome applications from anyone.
- If demand exceeds spaces, we’ll prioritise local and national organisations, as well as individuals who have lost jobs due to funding cuts.
This isn’t only about weathering the storm. JBA offers a practical, radical, and hopeful framework to help us adapt to today’s realities while staying rooted in justice, dignity, and system change. It is time to move beyond charity-based models and equip teams with the tools, strategies, and inspiration to work differently.
The course covers everything from systems thinking, localisation, reimagining aid, and participatory decision-making to ethical leadership, innovation-based programme design, and justice-centred M&E. It weaves together power and oppression, gender and climate justice, and practical tools for strategic, accountable, and transformative action.
