Loriann Robinson
Loriann Robinson (Twitter, LinkedIn) is the founder and director of The Advocacy Team, "a service for people and organisations working for a just world". They provide public affairs advice, policy advocacy, policy analysis and more, often in the international arena. She is also co-founder of The Equity Index, a UK social enterprise advocating for greater equity across the international development sector.
Loriann speaks to how having impact gets her out of bed in the morning, and how she wants to see a shift in global development where power doesn't sit in the global north, but it's dispersed to the people in the global south who know their communities best.
She also enjoys the variety of consulting, and the way the Advocacy Team can be a vehicle for other organisations (with aligned values) to create the futures that they envisage. I was struck by her approach of having a core income, with important side-projects (like The Equity Index) which don't have to scrabble for funding.
