“…Par ailleurs, dans ce contexte, les critiques du processus de professionnalisation des militantes (Alvarez 2009;Mojab 2009;Jad 2004;2007;Bagic 2004;Lang 1997) suggèrent que le renforcement de capacités des militantes locales a pour conséquence principale leur dépolitisation. En effet, ces critiques estiment que les bailleurs de fonds internationaux facilitent des formations techniques dans lesquelles les militantes locales apprennent les discours et les techniques de plaidoyer des militantes internationales.…”

“…For Jad, despite the raised profiles of many Palestinian women's NGos, 'this international recognition is not translated into recognition or legitimacy at local and national levels' . 35 Nabacwa has observed in the ugandan context that the efforts undertaken by women's NGos to advocate policy change at the national level 'have been detached from the districts and have more often been interpreted as elitist women's issues' . 36 The implications for Ghodsee of the 'disconnect between the lives of women in Bulgaria and the kinds of advocacy projects being pursued by the women's NGos in Sofia' is that 'women's NGos not only disregard the fundamental problems, but many [may] actively obscure them' .…”

Gender and development (GAD) has become a transnational discourse and has, as a result, generated its own elite elements. This elitism has tended to be attributed to a Northern hegemony in how feminism has been articulated and then subsequently professionalised and bureaucratised. What has received less attention, and what this paper highlights empirically, is how Southern-based feminisms might themselves be sites of discursive exclusion. The paper interrogates these concerns through an analysis of how professionalisation is evidenced in feminist engagement among civil society organisations working on gender in New Delhi. The analysis suggests that efforts to create spaces for subaltern voices are constrained not only by the disciplining effects of neoliberal frameworks but also -and in tandem -by Southern elite feminist priorities. The implications of these findings are significant: processes of professionalisation and the elitism they engender may have the effect of potentially precluding the engagement of those people on the margins whose voices are so sought after as part of efforts to facilitate inclusive development.

“…Works on the transnationalisation of collective action (Della Porta and Tarrow 2005;Tarrow 2001;Siméant 2010) have already underlined the contrasting effects of international access, including for African activists Siméant 2013b). A focus on non-governmental organisations (NGOs) often concludes on the 'NGO-isation' of social movements (Hearn 1998;Jad 2004) -understood as a depoliticisation -with the development of very moderate practices, using the register of expertise and advocacy, isolated from the practice of protest. However, notwithstanding the asymmetry of relations and resources, these processes are not homogenous.…”
