Aid

Amol Rajan is joined by thinkers, academics and politicians to discuss what the war in Ukraine means for the future of global humanitarian aid policy.

After millions of people were displaced from central Europe because of the war in Ukraine, Amol Rajan and guests discuss what we have learned from this latest humanitarian crisis which could help us deal with mass movements of displaced people in the future. Have attitudes in the West been different towards Ukrainian refugees than those fleeing previous conflicts in Syria and Afghanistan? And how might we develop global strategies to cope with mass migration in the future, caused by conflict or climate change?

Joining Amol Rajan are:
Professor Stefan Dercon, professor of economic policy at the Blavatnik School of Government in Oxford.
Douglas Alexander, former Secretary of State for International Development in the UK.
Sir Mark Lowcock, previously headed up the United Nations Emergency Relief and Humanitarian response teams.
Shaza Alrihawi, Syrian refugee and chair of the Global Refugee-Led Network.
