102. Shaken not Stirred

  • Summary

  • In this episode, Tamam Aloudat and Richard Blewett join Lars Peter Nissen to ask the hard questions: What’s worth saving? What needs to go? Who gets to decide?

    ...And are we the right guys to discuss this?

    Tammam argues that tinkering with the system isn’t enough - we need a “non-reformist reform,” a radical reimagining of what humanitarianism even is. Richard reflects on decades of failing attempts to change from the inside and whether this crisis is the moment to go back to the basics of principled humanitarian action, led by local actors, cutting the expensive middlemen.

    They wrap up by tackling the question: What is each of us going to do differently in the next few months?

    As the sector scrambles, priorities are being set. The decisions being made right now will define the future of humanitarianism. So what comes next? Who will (and should) take the lead?

    Listen in. The system is shaking. Let's make sure it doesn’t just settle back into place.
