Who pays for all this anyway?

We’re starting with a big one: Money. Across the world, governments are cutting development and humanitarian budgets. At the same time, aid is increasingly criticised, politicised and in some places even criminalised. Have you ever wondered what it really costs to do good in a world where crises are cascading and growing faster than the resources to respond to them?

Join guests Loreine dela Cruz from the Center for Disaster Preparedness in the Philippines and Akke Boere from Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in the Netherlands. Together we will take a look at the cost of humanitarian aid.

In the podcast we also question: What makes a "good" humanitarian? We would like to hear from you. Leave a comment here or via social media.
