Rethinking International Aid

When a wave of citizen-led uprisings swept the planet last summer, the Black Lives Matter movement forced a moment of reckoning at many international institutions. The word “racism” used to be taboo in many donor circles, but now people are talking openly about the role that race and colonialism have played in making foreign aid ineffective. Will this momentum affect meaningful, systemic change or is it just rhetoric? Degan Ali, a Somali-American who heads the Nairobi-based NGO ADESO, talks about the future of aid with Eileen O'Connor, Senior Vice President of the Rockefeller Foundation. Then, journalist Kimberley Brown shares an inspiring story of a woman in Ecuador who houses and feeds refugees as they cross the Colombian border.see more
