The New Humanitarian

Introducing 'Power Shift': An experiment in dialogue


Listen Later

The term 'decolonising aid' is everywhere. And yet, many decisions about aid are made behind closed doors in the West, and those most affected by aid policies have little power in shaping them.

But what if people who are rarely in the same room together sit down and talk? No talking points. No self-censorship. Just open, honest, and moderated one-on-one conversations.

Introducing Power Shift: A new podcast from The New Humanitarian and the Center for Transformational Change that presents moderated conversations between decision-makers in aid and philanthropy and those affected by their decisions.

Can they use honest and sustained dialogue to create shared visions for fairer humanitarian responses? Find out on Power Shift.
