As a former journalist that reported on these activities by the UN and other aid agencies, this podcast is a breeze of fresh air!!! This is the plain truth of what Africa and the Aid relationship has been for decades!!! Trillions of donor agencies funds said to be used for development but mainly in sustaining the lifestyles of their staff!!! This discourse need to continue and given a bigger platform!!! They are all Greek gift and not ANYTHING ABOUT DEVELOPING AFRICA!!!
When you’re looking for in-depth knowledge and reflective thoughts on dilemmas in the international development space, you’re at the right place.
I just love this podcast! Anyone interested in international development or a career abroad should listen to this. It is an invitation to reflect on why we’re doing this, how we interact with locals, how they perceive us, what we’re doing wrong and what can we do better.
The format is really enjoyable and guests inspiring. They share boldly their experiences and bring on new -much needed- perspectives. Can’t wait for more episodes!
Arnav is exposing a really important conversation that is often overlooked. Excited to continue to follow!
Perfect way to start this essential conversation — have been waiting for this kind of thing forever!
