Maud Kadye

Development Practitioner & Founder, Level the Playing Field in Development (Zimbabwe, Kenya, UK)

At Level the Playing Field in Development (LPFDev), Maud leads a community working to shift aid narratives and dismantle systemic inequities in global development. She holds an LLM in Human Rights and an LLB in Law.  

Her project, Beyond Aid Narratives - is a digital storytelling initiative that works to shift global perceptions of Africa. Through multimedia content, it challenges stereotypes, centres African voices, and highlights the continent's innovation, culture, and complexity. This project reframes development narratives that move beyond aid-dependent portrayals.
