Calling the next Grand Bargain the great leap sideways.

This is the podcast from hell.

Grand Bargain is- Decolonizing aid

Chapter 26, verse 8.

It's, it's also a troubling one because, uh, we, we are in a situation where this has been on top of the humanitarian policy agenda for 15 years.

What did you think was important about this podcast?

From my point of view, I've been as a journalist covering humanitarian affairs and humanitarian reform specifically for about a decade, focused on humanitarian issues, which is roughly around the time of the Grand Bargain, obviously, in 2016.

And as Kia said, the same language, the same sort of analyses, the same reports emerge report after report, year after year.

So I think the idea to analyze, well, actually how does change happen, I think is really valuable.

But I think in saying that, I think we also need a clearer idea of what it is we're actually working towards.

I feel like we've spoken about, like, localization is one of them.

What does that actually mean beyond the kind of technocratic indicators and goals and success metrics that were set by the Grand Bargain? Like...
