Disasters Conference- Afternoon Keynote by ODI Global

Former secretaries of state reflect on the history and future of the UK's Department for International Development.

This event presents a new narrative to broaden the debate around economic development, and the ways in which traditional aid delivery helps or hinders it.

This event, drawing on the World Food Programme's (WFP) 2017 global stocktake of food assistance, brings together voices from across academic, NGO and donor communities. Our experts debate and discuss what we are already doing and, critically, what we need to do as a community to meet the global demand for food assistance and realise food security for all.

President of the Rockefeller Foundation and former Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development, Rajiv Shah, joins ODI in conversation on the major global challenges of our time – and his vision of how we can tackle them.

What are the risks health workers face when responding to crises? What needs to be done in the future to better protect them? Ahead of World Humanitarian Day and the memorial event for humanitarian aid workers at Westminster Abbey, join us to discuss how we can better address this issue.

This event features the launch of Future Fragmentation, a major publication from the Commonwealth Secretariat with contributions from ODI, that explores the changing nature of global trade in global value chains and the relative position of Commonwealth small states.

At this event the Canadian Minister of International Development and La Francophonie, Marie-Claude Bibeau delivers a keynote speech, offering her reflections on Canada’s new Feminist International Assistance Policy to promote gender equality and help empower all women and girls.
