Iyad Agha, a Syrian now living in Germany, has been working on his country's humanitarian crisis for nearly a decade. The United Nations itself recently said that “Syria is in danger of being forgotten”, while noting that the country is facing the highest levels of humanitarian need since the start of its 13-year war. Some 7.2 million people have been forcibly displaced inside the country, and another 5.1 million are refugees in neighbouring countries. Türkiye is host to 3.3 million refugees who are increasingly subjected to harassment, not to mention arbitrary arrest, detention, and deportation by authorities. In this First Person account, he narrates his experiences as an aid worker in Türkiye, and laments how many times Syrians have had to rebuild their lives. The continuing conflict in Syria is featured in The New Humanitarian's annual list of ten crises that demand your attention now, which highlights places in the world where needs are rising, aid budgets have been cut or are insufficient, and where people feel forgotten by the international community. Over the coming months, our First Person series will feature aid workers and people affected by the crises on this year's list.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are very, very common. One million people get infected with an STI every day, according to the World Health Organization. Many are easy to treat with antibiotics, or should be. These include gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia. Like nearly all bacterial infections, they can and have begun to evolve resistance to antibiotics. The threat: these infections may again become untreatable, as they were in the days before antibiotics.Sex workers have a very high risk of catching these infections.So if sex workers have a higher risk of sexually transmitted infections, shouldn't they get specialized treatment? It sounds like a good idea, says Salome Manyau, PhD, a researcher in the Department of Global Health and Development and the Faculty of Public Health and Policy at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.But things haven't always worked out the way global health nonprofits and medical experts thought they would. Dr. Manyau spent months living among sex workers in Harare, Zimbabwe, and what she discovered may surprise many. It's not so easy to just tell people to practice safe sex, and focusing treatments on one particular group of people can cause unexpected problems.Listen as she tells One World, One Health host Maggie Fox what she found out in her research on antibiotic use among some of the most stigmatized people in the world. 

Aid worker and psychologist Imogen Wall joins host Ali Latifi to discuss how the way humanitarian organisations are run can do as much damage to aid workers' mental health as being confronted with war, hunger, and rights abuses.  What's Unsaid is a bi-weekly podcast by The New Humanitarian, where we explore open secrets and uncomfortable truths around the world's conflicts and disasters.  

This episode is with a dedicated community organizer living in the Osa Peninsula, Tricia Stapleton. Tricia shares her embodied wisdom with each question she answers. Relistening to this episode to prepare it for publication was a treat! I had a hard time selecting which portions of this interview to use for the 3-4 highlight reels I produce with every episode because there was SO MUCH amazing content. You're lucky to be listening to this episode right now. One of the many things that Tricia and I have in common is the responsibility we share as regenerative projects of not ignoring the socio-economic context we find ourselves in. Socio-cultural diversity as a vehicle for mutual aid, and the bridging of analog and digital solutions to community building are other topics that I enjoyed exploring with her.   We cover a few programs Tricia has co-founded in the Osa Peninsula. Cooperativa Los Higuerones is a bioregional learning center in the southern zone of the Osa Peninsula, Gulfo Dulce watershed. Its focus is on promoting alternative economic, social, and environmental opportunities.   From “stone soup socials”, to mutual aid work, emergency food boxes, a CSA program, a recycling program, and a locally operated farmers market… this multi-cultural local resilience organization, Higuerones, is doing it all!   Through that cooperative has been born Manos Cambiatas, a community work-party initiative that you'll hear more about. Here's a video that they created highlighting the work of Manos Cambiatas.   Be sure to listen to the end of the interview, where Trisha shares what they're birthing with the ReGenerOsa collective. Regenerosa has developed a tithing program to fund regenerative projects in local communities.   Could you contribute 2.5% of something you're doing to support a community actively caring for 2.5% of the earth's biodiversity? This interview might just motivate you in that direction.   If you got some value from this episode, share it with a friend, say something nice about the podcast on your favorite social media channel, or drop a donation off at ko-fi.com.    I have more wonderful interviews like this waiting for the editors, and every little bit helps cover the production expenses. Thanks for sharing your time with us. Now, go and give that 2.5%...   To follow more of Tricia's contributions toward a regenerative world, check out: Cooperativa Higuerones - http://www.higueronescoop.org/  The Regenerosa Collective- https://regenerosa.wixsite.com/regenerosacollective  FB - https://www.facebook.com/loshiguerones.coope   IG - https://www.instagram.com/higuerones.coop  Email -regenerosacollective@gmail.com    Other mentions from Tricia include: ASCONA - https://www.facebook.com/asconacr/ This episode is brought to you by, well, YOU!  I haven't built up my audience enough to have attracted sponsors, so instead of buying an organic cotton shirt or an online course, maybe you can just buy me a coffee!

The death of New Zealander Andrew Bagshaw in Ukraine has underlined the dangers of humanitarian aid efforts in a war zone.

In this special summer series about taking action to care for community, Kiesha is taking a pause from interviews to share what she is learning about people who have led important movements in their communities along with the actions they are inspiring her to take.  This episode features the writing of activist Dean Spade, who authored the book Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next) and has inspired Kiesha's current focus.  Mutual aid projects are a form of political participation in which people take responsibility for caring for one another and changing political conditions not just through symbolic acts or putting pressure on gov't representatives, but by actually building new social relations that are more survivable. Episode Resources:Buy the Book: Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next) by Dean SpadeLearn about Dean SpadeVideo: We're All We've Got, We're All We Need: A Mutual Aid ExplainerOrganizations mentioned in this episode: Oakland Power ProjectsSRLP (Sylvia Rivera Law Project)About the BLACK PANTHER PARTY COMMUNITY SURVIVAL PROGRAMS @ BPPALN.org Contact InfoSend booking inquiries for Kiesha to speak or conduct interviews to (info at kieshagarrison.co)Kiesha on IG: @kiesha_garrisonDirectly support the podcast financially:Cash AppVenmoPayPal.Me

“If you don't produce, you won't thrive—no matter how skilled or talented you are.”  Cal Newport, author of “Deep Work” Noisy generators.  Crowing roosters.  Loud music. Working in the aid world can be very distracting! Not to mention all the email, texts and other notifications. Sometimes it's hard to create an environment for focus. So you can do the IMPORTANT work.... concentrated work. The work that will make the most impact. But sometimes given all the challenges, creating a way to focus seems almost impossible! In this episode Chen Kadungure and myself discuss how you can create more focus in your work week--- whether you're working from home, or in an open plan office.   Resources mentioned: Deep Work by Cal Newport Lowfi Beats Dehydration and Lack of Focus Mark Huberman podcast on focus Ragdoll stretching pose

We all have our strengths as leaders. You know, the areas in which you feel come naturally to you. Maybe you even enjoy working on them. It could be managing budgets, or helping local partners, or writing proposals. Whatever it is, when you spend more time in that area, you are more productive. And when you work in areas in which you're not as strong, well... things.... slow.... down... So why not find ways to focus more on your strengths? In this episode I provide a great way to focus on your strengths, but also help out your team.  A win-win for everyone!  

Glenn Compain is a former Auckland NZ frontline policeman and current QPS officer - working largely with troubled youth, and he's seen things that would haunt your nightmares. Violent gangs, rampant drug and alcohol abuse, soul-destroying promiscuity, parents unwilling or unable to tackle the mess their kids are making of their young lives.     At 19 he led a team of voluntary aid workers to Uganda, where they worked with orphans and child soldiers during the civil war. In 2004 he co-founded the Village Community Services trust with ex All Black Michael Jones, which continues to deliver mentoring to over 500 young people at risk in schools across Auckland.  A compelling and charismatic speaker, Glenn Compain is a powerful new addition to the HarperCollins social and parenting list and follows in the footsteps of Celia Lashlie and Nigel Latta.    Glenn's experience has taught him that every child is at risk at some stage during their formative years; that there are many influences in their lives that their parents can't hope to control. His message is that it is the parents' job to give their children the skills to make good decisions when times are tough. By sharing his own story and experiences from the frontline Glenn gives concerned parents the tools they need to spot the danger signs for their children themselves. While he doesn't claim to have all the answers, his common-sense approach and experience with troubled youth make his insight and ideas valuable tools to empower parents. A book for parents, teachers, and social workers, this streetwise, straight-talking look at today's world will have everyone talking.     Facebook:  HOPE VILLAGE (Mental wealth FB Page)  Facebook Group: CLUB 100 (fitness group)  Linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glenn-compain  Streetwise Parenting published in 2009    Listen to any of the Body Science podcasts at https://www.bodyscience.com.au/podcast To be notified when a new podcast goes live, head over to our Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud or iTunes channel and subscribe.

This week, we talk with a licensed clinical social worker and humanitarian, Kristen Guskovict, founder of H.E.A.R.T. of Aid Work, about trauma symptoms and stories, plus how to recognize when you likely have unresolved trauma and need therapy. Kristen explains how many of us downplay painful and traumatic experiences because we are “still functioning” or we belittle our own traumas in comparison to perceived “more significant” traumas of others. However, neither are healthy for good mental health. Kristen reminds us that these traumatic experiences, whether they are big or little traumas, still chip away at us and are reflected in how we interact with others. We talk together why traumas must be acknowledged and addressed---Kristen offers journaling as a smart practice for trauma work. Plus, if you do need to seek trauma therapy, listen in as we discuss the next steps and how to approach therapy.

In this week's episode we talk to humanitarian aid-worker Mans Welander about finding love and truth in some of the most difficult environments on earth.

Stories of irrelevant aid regularly arise in humanitarian assistance. People affected by disasters or crises receive food they cannot eat, services they do not want or technologies they cannot use. If they are not getting what they really need, something is going wrong. Relevance is central to humanitarian principles and standards, however putting it into practice is profoundly difficult and potentially disruptive. Realigning the humanitarian offer with the priorities of affected people opens unique opportunities in identifying dynamic needs, being culturally and contextually relevant and delivering on time and at scale. On the back of ALNAP’s 32nd Annual Meeting, we explore how those working in humanitarian policy and implementation are tackling these themes and the challenges faced in doing so.

Aid work can be tiring - the last minute proposals, limited resources, as well as being far from friends and family. Sometimes we need ways to regain our motivation and feel ready to get back to work and do our best. In this episode I share eight ways you can quickly and easily increase your energy so that you can get more done and feel great doing it. For resources click here.

Over the last few months I took the advice of some time management books and tried batching.  Batching means implementing similar tasks in one block of time. I am surprised by how much this simple act has freed up my time! For example, I used to spend 8 hours on producing one podcast episode, but after batching I can do about three episodes in four hours! There is much to be said about batching tasks, and especially as applied to aid work. In this episode I share some ideas on how you can batch routine tasks to free up more time and become more productive.

How consistent are your team's actions with your organization's values in international development?  Many of us think we are "walking our talk" but then we observe two vehicles going to the same community with only three passengers, or we use disposable plastic at meetings, or serve fried foods during a nutrition meeting.  These misalignments add up over time, and can lead to a less motivated team as well as an organization whose values are unclear.  This in turn can impact our work at the community level and even our ability to get funding in the future.  In this episode you'll learn three ways you can get your team to start walking your talk and by doing so inspire those around you to do the same.

We’ve all been tortured by the same old “let me show you ALL my results” presentations in aid work. They all kind of blend together after a while. So how can you make your public presentation (sharing of Baseline or Endline Results or Strategy) more memorable? Well you’re in luck, because in this episode I share three proven ways to conduct a presentation that will leave your stakeholders thinking “wow that organization is amazing! I can’t wait to see what they come up with next!” Through these three ways you’ll wow your audience and make them curious for more - so that you can be seen as a leader in your sector, and not just another presentation they feel obligated to attend.

"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." -- Marcus Aurelius Our reality is our perspective, and so changing our perspective can mean changing our reality, or what we call truth.  I love challenging my own perspective on many things, and also enjoy helping others do the same.  Changing your perspective as a leader in aid work can mean taking a different approach to project design, or communicating an organizational change more effectively to staff and partners, or even just bridging a gap between you and others.  In this episode I provide four powerful questions you can ask yourself to help change your perspective and assumptions around others' beliefs which you can use in your life and work.

International aid is more than a flow of money. Whilst it’s an economic exchange, it’s also one that shaped by geopolitics and geographical imaginations about place - especially so, in terms of traditional donors and recipients of aid. In this podcast we're joined by Dr Emma Mawdsley to discuss global development, and how international aid really works.

Knowing how to adapt to a different culture can mean the difference between acceptance and productivity versus rejection and stagnation.  My guest today Johan Romare shares from his 28 years' experience working in diverse cultural contexts some practical lessons learned in how to adapt to local cultures.  In this episode we cover: Some of Johan's hard lessons learned during his first years in aid work How to think about communication in different contexts The "bottom line" when it comes to adapting to a new culture What it is important to know as a leader when adapting to a new culture How to learn about a new culture when you first arrive in country Three practical tips you can apply next week for adapting better to new cultural contexts A bonus tip which I found extremely useful during my time as a Country Manager!

I have always wanted to do a ten-day silent retreat and hadn’t thought through all of the challenges involved. Sitting for 100 hours?  Not talking for 10 days?  My goal: to have a clearer mind, perhaps figure out my purpose in life, and a bonus would be enlightenment. To some of you this may sound like a nightmare, to others intriguing. This episode I am dedicating to all of you, so you can decide for yourself if this is something you think would be worthwhile during one of your R&R’s or at some point in your life. Even if you are not interested and the word “meditation” makes you cringe, I encourage you to listen to this episode, as I share the lessons I took away from my experience that can be applied to our lives as humanitarians.  For how you can do something similar, go to www.aidforaidworkers.com/podcast/41 and look for the resource links.  (Chanting from the site here)

"Dodging riots and tear gas in Livingstone today. There is a by-election tomorrow and the leader of the opposition has been arrested and charged with inciting violence, personally I think Mrs Lamont should watch out as she does that every Thursday afternoon."I just got that email from the latest guests on the Scottish Independence Podcast when I emailed them to tell them I was just about to publish their episode.The guests are Ruaridh and Keith Waddell who are Scottish aid workers who have been in Zambia for some time.It's important to consider not only the good things we could get or do at home as an independent nation, but also the good we could do abroad. The conversation we had considered how our aid policy could be better than that currently offered by the United Kingdom, which often used aid to suit some more Machiavellian aims.We spoke about what they are doing over in Zambia and we also talked about the role of Scots in the British Empire, and how is not as clear cut as some people like to present it.Furthermore, we had a chat about some, and one in particular, of the less well-known independence movements that can be found around the world. People tend to know about Catalonia and Quebec and so forth but I'd be prepared to bet most of you haven't heard of this one.Enjoy.P.S.
