Juliet Parker, the director of ALNAP, the global network for humanitarian learning, meets Ahmad Kazouini, water & habitat coordinator for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Somalia, and Andy Wheatley, ICRC's African regional anticipatory action adviser, in the second episode of the new Learning Curve podcast series. With such a good body of evidence supporting anticipatory action and many good experiences, why is the humanitarian sector struggling to make a step change in mainstream practices? Juliet also asks Andy and Ahmad about their experiences of working on the Somalia El Nino flood response.

In the first episode of the new ALNAP's The Learning Curve: a podcast for busy humanitarians series, Juliet Parker, the director of ALNAP, the global network for humanitarian learning, speaks to Loreine B. Dela Cruz, executive director of the Center for Disaster Preparedness (CDP) in the Philippines. The wealth of learning that exists in the Philippines is so embedded within humanitarian practice, civil society structures and relationships with the government. There's so much for the rest of the sector to learn and much of it is very well documented. But sometimes there are barriers and a sense that this learning hasn't been taken up in the way it could have been. Juliet and Loreine explore the reasons why.

In Episode 3, ALNAP director Juliet Parker meets Andriy Klepikov, executive director of the Alliance for Public Health (APH) in Ukraine.  Juliet speaks to Andriy about the adjustments APH has had to make since Ukraine's war with Russia began and the learning that has been pulled through from previous work into this new reality. Andriy explains APH's partnership with Christian Aid and their work together using the survivor and community-led response (sclr) approach. Localisation is a big theme in the discussion.

The Learning Curve: a podcast for busy humanitarians podcast is a new podcast for busy humanitarians brought to you by ALNAP, the global network for humanitarian learning. We will be talking to people from right across the humanitarian sector in a variety of jobs in different parts of the globe about what the humanitarian sector would look like if we lived in a world based on learning. We know our sector is rich in learning, expertise and knowledge, but we are falling far short of capitalising on that to improve the performance of humanitarian action. ALNAP's The Learning Curve: a podcast for busy humanitarians podcast  explores how we might overcome the key barriers inhibiting our collective ability to learn, with honest and open discussion about what needs to change if the sector is serious about acting on the basis of the evidence and knowledge that exists.
