*But* ... flying middle class people around the world to check up on people doing the work on the ground is far from ideal. This can't help but create asymmetrical relationships, a problem I suspect the Just Peoples team are just as keen to solve as anyone else.

(5/?)

What might be better is a way for people doing community-led projects to form webs of trust and audit each other. Both within the Global South, and with solidarity groups in the Global North who are travelling to the South anyway, eg to offer practical support; deliver equipment, give training, etc.

That way, for every group a solidarity funding effort like Just Peoples has time to audit and trust, it opens up whole new networks of groups and projects they can treat as P2P audited.

(6/?)

So looping back round to my jumping off point, is there a way we can deploy fediverse tech to support the formation of these webs of trust, and P2P auditing?
