Building for the Future

In this season, we’re looking at what we can each do to strengthen our democracy and repair our communities. Rebuilding trust in our institutions is a critical piece of that. And today, we’re going to share some practical how-tos on what you can do to help get us there. First, we turn to Poland to hear how civil society actors there were able to take back their country’s democracy and rebuild the rule of law. Host Annelise Riles speaks with Adam Bodnar, a human rights lawyer and Poland’s current justice minister. Later, she talks with John Bisognano, the president of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC). The NDRC was founded by Eric Holder and Barack Obama to stop gerrymandering and restore faith in the fairness of U.S. elections. This is a public episode.

Introducing: After Hotel Rwanda

Hello I Spy listeners. We're back in your feed to introduce you to a remarkable new podcast made by the producers of I Spy called: After Hotel Rwanda. The show tells the story of Paul Rusesabagina, who in 2020 was lured from his home in San Antonio, Texas, to his former country of Rwanda, where he was tried on terrorism charges and sentenced to 25 years in prison. Rusesabagina had been a national hero in Rwanda for saving the lives of more than twelve hundred people during the 1994 genocide there. His story was told in the Hollywood movie Hotel Rwanda. Our four-part series describes how Rusesabagina went from hero to dissident in Rwanda—and how a team of supporters in Washington and elsewhere managed eventually to bring him home. You can hear an extended trailer in this feed right now—and all four episodes, also in this feed, starting May 7. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How Better Gender Data Is Uncovering Hidden Truths in Ethiopia

When we use the phrase “remarkable women” for this podcast, Letty Chiwara definitely fits the bill. She is the current U.N. Women Representative to Ethiopia, the Africa Union Commission, and the U.N. Economic Commission for Africa. Although these are broad titles, one major part of her work is helping others get better data on the lives of Ethiopian women, including their full financial contributions to society. On today’s episode of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, we explore how getting better data on gender disparities is uncovering hidden truths in Ethiopia and elsewhere. Host Reena Ninan first speaks with Chiwara, who spearheaded a major gender data effort in Ethiopia. Then, Ninan talks to Emily Courey Pryor, executive director of the nonprofit Data2X. Her organization partners with entities like U.N. Women, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, and individual countries to improve their collection and analysis of gender data. To hear more about the movement to improve gender data, listen to our latest episode on this page or subscribe on your favorite podcast app. Also, for the real nerds out there, you can sign up to get a policy brief on gender equality. This is content that’s normally behind a paywall at Foreign Policy, but we’re offering special access to our podcast listeners. It’s a great resource for understanding the big picture on what’s happening globally to try and tackle gender inequality. The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is an FP podcast supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. We want to hear from you!

Boxing Provides a Path out of Poverty for Girls in Pakistan

Aliya Soomro was not yet ten years old when she heard that a boxing coach near her home was training young girls. Aliya lives in Lyari, a densely populated neighborhood in Karachi, Pakistan known for gang violence and dangerous streets. When she heard about this gym, where she could learn to box, Aliya jumped at the chance. And while her conservative family and community were concerned at first, boxing soon proved to be a path out of poverty for Aliya. Now, other young girls in Lyari are getting the chance to follow their athletic dreams.

Reforming Global Finance

International financial institutions, or IFIs—especially the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF)—are part of a system that was established 80 years ago. And since then, these organizations haven’t changed much, including in terms of their governance structures and who has a seat at the table. This has led to a system that doesn’t meet the needs of many countries, including many in the global south. The IMF and World Bank are powerful players. Their stated missions are different but related. The IMF seeks to foster international financial stability, while the World Bank’s stated goal is to “end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet.” Today, we’re going to dive deeper into how IFIs are part of an asymmetrical power system in which countries, particularly in the global south, find themselves without sufficient decision-making power. We’ll talk about how IFI policies sometimes push austerity rather than opportunity and how some of the tools for development that you often hear spoken about in a positive way—such as public-private partnerships—might actually further entrench an unbalanced system at the expense of the majority of the world’s citizens and the planet. Host Karen Given speaks with Daouda Sembene, the founder and CEO of AfriCatalyst, a global development advisory firm based in Dakar, Senegal, and Nairobi. He’s also a former IMF executive director. The other guest featured in this episode is Luiz Vieira, the coordinator of the Bretton Woods Project. *********** If you'd like to learn more about the ideas and actions to create new rules for a broken system, please check out “Global Governance Reimagined,” a special report from FP Analytics.

SEASON 2 TRAILER

Coming Soon: Season Two of The Catch

Coming up on this season of The Catch, we head to the upper Gulf of California, to see what a porpoise, a fish whose bladder fetches tens of thousands of dollars on the black market, and the highly desirable—and delicious—colossal shrimp tell us about the complicated world of fishing. This spring, Foreign Policy is partnering with the Walton Family Foundation for season two of The Catch, hosted by Ruxandra Guidi. We'll hear how local fishermen are caught between providing for their families and protecting marine habitats. And how governments, importers, and consumers all have a role in returning balance to the upper Gulf of California.
