This week we are at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. We delve into what we are hearing on the sidelines of the event, particularly how U.S. vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris would approach foreign policy and assistance.

In this week’s episode we also discussed our exit interview with outgoing British International Investment chief Nick O'Donohoe, who highlighted that his successor will have to find the balance between focusing on the lowest-income countries, as well as positioning BII as a climate finance leader.

From the challenges of parenthood to entrenched traditional systems, we also elaborate on an article that digs into the challenges women face as they climb the global development career ladder.

How would a Harris presidency be different from a Biden one? How can we elevate women leadership in global development?

For the latest episode of our podcast series, Devex President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar sits down with Managing Editor Anna Gawel and Global Development Reporter Elissa Miolene to dig into this week’s headlines in global development.
