Description

In every episode of the Rethinking Humanitarianism podcast, we ask our guests what they would do if they had millions of dollars – or perhaps a magic wand – to transform the way the world responds to people in need. We’ve heard a panoply of pitches: from politicians sleeping in refugee camps to a global fund for social protection, from networked humanitarianism to the merger of UN agencies. Now, as a wrap-up to our first season (don’t fret, we’ll be back), host Heba Aly puts these ideas to three people in positions to enact change:     Valerie Nkamgang Bemo, Deputy Director, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Raouf Mazou, Assistant High Commissioner for Operations, UN Refugee Agency Per Olsson Fridh, Minister for International Development Cooperation, Sweden   Listen in to hear which ideas pass muster and which get a hard “no”. Podcast in partnership with the Center for Global Development.
