Podcasts about Liberia

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Rich Valdes fills in for Mark. Sen Bernie Sanders claims that AI represents the growing power of oligarchs and should be controlled by the people rather than a handful of billionaires. Sanders completely misunderstands how the free market works because people, not elites, ultimately determine which technologies succeed by choosing whether or not to use them.  AI is being developed through innovation and entrepreneurship to help people and businesses, not as a tool for oligarchic control, and that the bigger concern is preventing technocrats from overreaching through common-sense oversight by elected representatives. Later, the passengers on the FlyDubai flight stopped a terrorist hijacking and prevented a catastrophe. It reminds you of the resolve of the people on 9/11, when enough was enough and the threat could no longer be ignored. Benjamin Netanyahu saluted the heroes, including an Israeli plumber who helped level the plane. Antisemitism and jihadi terror are out of control - this is Islamo-fascism in the skies. Then, it's Hispanic Heritage Month at the White House and a reminder that Hispanic Americans keep moving right because they've lived socialism. Finally, Sen Chris Van Hollen race-baits deportations while 186 House Democrats vote against deporting illegals convicted of benefit fraud, and AG Todd Blanche announces ten foreign nationals indicted in Minnesota for illegal voting and false citizenship claims — Brazil, Ghana, Liberia — the kind of election fraud the left pretends doesn't exist.

In this episode, Deb Swann and Roger Alcock take us behind the scenes of humanitarian medicine, sharing their experiences of working in two very different global health emergencies: the 2023 Türkiye–Syria earthquake response and the 2014–2016 West African Ebola outbreak.On 6 February 2023, a series of devastating earthquakes struck southern Türkiye and northern Syria. More than 59,000 people were killed, including over 53,500 in Türkiye and around 5,900 in Syria. The humanitarian medical response involved emergency trauma care, field hospitals, medical evacuations and international Emergency Medical Teams. Within the first year, 38 national and international Emergency Medical Teams from more than 25 countries carried out almost 100,000 medical consultations in Türkiye. The episode also looks back at the West African Ebola crisis of 2014–2016: The largest Ebola outbreak since the virus was discovered in 1976. Beginning in Guinea and spreading to Liberia and Sierra Leone, the outbreak ultimately infected more than 28,600 people and caused 11,325 deaths. WHO declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in August 2014. Deb and Roger discuss what it is like to work in these extraordinary circumstances, the challenges of providing healthcare when normal systems have been overwhelmed, and the human experiences that stay with medical teams long after they return home.In this episode:Humanitarian medicine in the aftermath of the 6 February 2023 earthquakeThe international medical response in TürkiyeWorking during the 2014–2016 Ebola outbreak The realities of working on the humanitarian frontlineThe personal experiences and human stories behind the statisticsWhat these crises can teach us about emergency medical responseNEAS Specialist Capabilities Conference 2026The North East Ambulance Service Specialist Capabilities Conference 2026 takes place on 3 November 2026 at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, NewcastleGateshead.Under the theme “Collaborate, Innovate, Excel,” the conference brings together professionals working across specialist emergency care, with sessions covering Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response (EPRR), critical care and HART.The keynote speaker is Adam Desmond, the 7/7 Kings Cross paramedic, who will deliver a no-holds-barred talk on human factors and bandwidth saturation during major incidents.Other speakers include Lee Thompson, who will discuss regional critical care, alongside specialists from EPRR and HART.

As I discussed with Barron Segar, President and CEO of World Food Program USA, in today's episode, the dynamics have shifted over the last decade. Despite declining government funding and rising costs, Barron remains hopeful—and solutions-driven.“When I started ten years ago, hunger was on the decline,” Barron told me. “Today, we're battling wars, extreme weather events, rising costs, and decreased funding. Yet, we're proud that the U.S. remains a significant contributor while the private sector has stepped up to fill some gaps.”As the representative of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning World Food Program, Barron highlighted how the organization is navigating these changing dynamics. One of its key innovations, he noted, is leveraging partnerships and pre-positioning supplies to respond to emergencies quickly, such as recent events in Nepal and Venezuela. Still, he emphasized, war stands as the leading cause of hunger today, making humanitarian access and supply delivery increasingly difficult.Barron shared an eye-opening statistic: “Over 262 million people today are suffering acute hunger.” This growing crisis, he explained, requires extraordinary efforts and resources to reach those most in need. In war zones like Gaza, the World Food Program is averting famine and feeding hundreds of thousands daily, yet the need remains massive.While discussing hotspots like Gaza, Ukraine, Haiti, and Honduras, Barron painted a vivid picture of the struggles faced by refugees and vulnerable communities forced to flee their homes. Reflecting on his visit to the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after the conflict began, he recalled meeting displaced women, children, and even elderly individuals carrying nothing but their few belongings—and their hope.Barron's optimism remains grounded in action. He credits both resilient frontline workers and scalable, innovative solutions, including cash-based transfers to sustain functioning marketplaces. Moreover, he directed listeners to “JustServe,” a platform helping volunteers address local needs domestically, while encouraging global responsibility.This episode underscored the dire need for collaboration and creative problem-solving to combat hunger and build long-term resilience. Barron's leadership highlights how strategic partnerships and unwavering dedication can drive impactful results—even in the face of unprecedented challenges.tl;dr:Barron Segar highlighted how wars, climate events, and underfunding exacerbate global hunger challenges.Innovations like cash-based transfers and strategic pre-positioning strengthen emergency food delivery.The World Food Program USA engages both governments and private sectors to address funding gaps.Barron emphasized creating a collaborative culture while setting measurable growth goals for leadership success.Hunger relief efforts showcase the need for global and local teamwork to build long-term resilience.How to Develop Vision into Action As a SuperpowerBarron's superpower is his ability to turn vision into action. As he explained in today's episode, “One of the superpowers I believe I hold is turning a vision into execution.” He shared how his role as President and CEO of World Food Program USA requires him to not only articulate ambitious goals but also lead his team toward achieving them. Barron pointed to collaboration, measurable results, and difficult but mission-centered decisions as integral to his execution-focused leadership.One example of this superpower is Barron's plan to dramatically grow private sector funding for the organization. When he started in 2020, the World Food Program USA raised $19 million annually. This year, it will surpass $130 million, with a goal of reaching $250 million annually in the next five years. Barron emphasized measurable outcomes and strategic investments, supported by pro bono insights from the Boston Consulting Group, to drive results.Tips for Developing Vision into Action as a Superpower:Focus on creating a high-performance, collaborative culture of respect, optimism, and accountability.Set ambitious but achievable goals that push you and your team beyond your comfort zone.Communicate strategy clearly and align your resources to maximize impact.Establish measurable key performance indicators to track progress and stay focused.Be prepared to make tough decisions and accept that not everyone will always agree with you.By following Barron's example and advice, you can make vision into action a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileBarron Segar (he/him):President & CEO, World Food Program USAAbout World Food Program USA: The World Food Programme is the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and the world's leading humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of climate extremes.

Après la prise de l'aéroport de Mekele et de plusieurs autres aéroports par les forces de défense du Tigré, le journal Libération, à Paris, livre une analyse de la situation. Libé cite un chercheur de l'université de Mekele. Pour lui, la prise des aéroports vise à « rompre le lien aérien entre Addis-Abeba et le Tigré », et traduit « une volonté d'aller vers une confrontation ouverte afin de provoquer une intervention internationale ». L'escalade couvait depuis plusieurs mois, rappelle Libération, qui esquisse les scénarios possibles désormais : « Addis-Abeba pourrait répondre par de nouvelles frappes, une rupture des circuits financiers ou un blocus du Tigré, comme pendant la première guerre. » Mais le journal considère qu'une reconquête terrestre des aéroports précipiterait la région dans un conflit ouvert. Et de citer à nouveau l'universitaire de Mekele : « L'Éthiopie se trouve au bord d'une guerre de grande ampleur. L'escalade des dernières 24 heures, selon lui, marque le passage d'une "paix froide" à "une guerre active sur plusieurs fronts", où "l'espace réservé à la diplomatie a pratiquement disparu". » Dans la foulée des révélations du Deportation Project Révélations auxquelles RFI est associée et que vous découvrez sur notre antenne depuis lundi. Ce nouveau témoignage : « Le regard perdu dans le vide, Carlos Telles Sanchez pense à son fils de cinq mois, resté aux États-Unis.

Jusqu'au 20 août dernier, où il est arrêté par l'ICE, la police de l'immigration, alors qu'il est juste allé accomplir une tâche administrative. Et voilà Carlos Telles Sanchez expulsé vers le Liberia. « J'ai d'abord pensé que c'était le nom d'un autre État américain », raconte-t-il. « Le vol a été un véritable cauchemar.

Research on how to collect more tax in developing countries has focused on how information, especially administrative data, can help. But in Uganda for example, buyers and sellers report different amounts for the same VAT transaction in 79% of cases. The invoices exist ... but nobody in the tax administration is comparing them.In this week's VoxDev Talk Anders Jensen (Harvard Kennedy School) and Jonathan Weigel (UC Berkeley) argue that information needs an administration that is able to use it. They have examined the research evidence on how tax authorities are organised, who they hire, where they send their staff, and how much freedom those officials get. To maximise revenues they find that many of Max Weber's century-old rules for how to run a bureaucracy still apply, but others often need to bend a little. The research behind this episode:Jensen, Anders, and Jonathan L. Weigel. 2026. "No Taxation without Administration: Bringing the State Back into the Public Finance of Developing Countries." Journal of Economic Literature 64 (1): 246-280. The working paper version is available as NBER Working Paper 34729.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, Jonathan Weigel, and Anders Jensen. 2026. "No Taxation without Administration." VoxDev Talks (podcast).About the guestsAnders Jensen is Associate Professor of Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and research co-director of the State programme at the International Growth Centre. His research spans the rise of modern tax systems, informality and consumption taxes, and how governments with limited capacity can improve tax administration and enforcement. He works with governments in Ghana, Zambia, Liberia and Brazil.Jonathan Weigel is Assistant Professor of Business and Public Policy at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, and a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research spans state capacity, taxation, corruption, and the links between religion and institutions. His fieldwork is based mainly in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where he runs the research organisation ODEKA.Research cited in this episodeNo taxation without information. Dina Pomeranz's study of Chile's value-added tax showed how the paper trail between firms helps to enforce the tax; each firm has a reason to demand an invoice from its supplier, and the tax authority can use those invoices to detect evasion. Pomeranz, Dina. 2015. "No Taxation without Information: Deterrence and Self-Enforcement in the Value Added Tax." American Economic Review 105 (8): 2539-2569.Third-party reporting in Denmark. Henrik Kleven and co-authors ran a randomised tax audit experiment in Denmark. Evasion was close to zero on income that employers and banks report to the tax authority, and substantial on income that taxpayers report themselves. Kleven, Henrik Jacobsen, Martin B. Knudsen, Claus Thustrup Kreiner, Soren Pedersen, and Emmanuel Saez. 2011. "Unwilling or Unable to Cheat? Evidence from a Tax Audit Experiment in Denmark." Econometrica 79 (3): 651-692.Missing transactions in Uganda. The 79% figure comes from VAT reports in Uganda, where sellers and buyers declare different amounts for the same transactions. The gap suggests that the tax authority does not systematically cross-check the reports, or that firms act as if it does not. Almunia, Miguel, Jonas Hjort, Justine Knebelmann, and Lin Tian. 2024. "Strategic or Confused Firms? Evidence from 'Missing' Transactions in Uganda." Review of Economics and Statistics 106 (1): 256-265.The US tax gap. Even a high-capacity administration struggles without third-party data. For tax years 2014 to 2016, the Internal Revenue Service estimated that 55% of income subject to little or no information reporting, such as sole proprietor income, was misreported, compared with 1% of wages and salaries. Internal Revenue Service. 2022. Tax Gap Estimates for Tax Years 2014-2016. Publication 5364. Washington, DC: IRS."In developing countries, tax administration is tax policy." The paper's epigraph comes from Milka Casanegra de Jantscher, who co-edited an IMF volume on tax administration with Richard Bird. The line sums up an older policy consensus that building the tax authority matters more than setting the right rates. Bird, Richard M., and Milka Casanegra de Jantscher, eds. 1992. Improving Tax Administration in Developing Countries. Washington, DC: International Monetary Fund.Weber's ideal bureaucracy. Max Weber described a "rational" bureaucracy with a single chain of command, specialised departments, recruitment by examination, promotion by seniority and decisions governed by rules rather than discretion. Jensen and Weigel use his categories to organise the evidence, and show how developing countries adapt them to local conditions. Weber, Max. 1978 (first published 1921). Economy and Society: An Outline of Interpretive Sociology. Berkeley: University of California Press.The sinews of power. The phrase comes from John Brewer's history of the British state, which credits a professional, specialised Excise Office with raising the revenue that paid for Britain's 18th-century wars. Brewer, John. 1990. The Sinews of Power: War, Money, and the English State, 1688-1783. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.Medium taxpayer offices in Indonesia. Indonesia created dedicated offices for medium-sized corporate taxpayers, which sharply cut the number of taxpayers per auditor. Revenue from the firms in these offices rose by 64% in the short term and by 128% after six years. Basri, M. Chatib, Mayara Felix, Rema Hanna, and Benjamin A. Olken. 2021. "Tax Administration vs. Tax Rates: Evidence from Corporate Taxation in Indonesia." American Economic Review 111 (12): 3827-3871.Transfer mispricing and the arm's length principle. Multinationals can shift profits by setting the prices of transactions between their own subsidiaries. Tax authorities test these prices against the arm's length principle, which asks what unrelated firms would have charged each other. Staff in large taxpayer offices must learn to apply it; staff who deal with small firms never need to.The Pendleton Act. The US Civil Service Reform Act of 1883 introduced competitive examinations for federal jobs, to limit patronage appointments. Abhay Aneja and Guo Xu find that the reform improved public sector performance. Aneja, Abhay, and Guo Xu. 2024. "Strengthening State Capacity: Civil Service Reform and Public Sector Performance during the Gilded Age." American Economic Review 114 (8): 2352-2387.City chiefs as tax collectors. In Kananga, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, neighbourhoods were randomly assigned to property tax collection by state agents or by local city chiefs. Chiefs raised revenue by more than 40%, mainly because they knew which households were more willing to pay. Balan, Pablo, Augustin Bergeron, Gabriel Tourek, and Jonathan L. Weigel. 2022. "Local Elites as State Capacity: How City Chiefs Use Local Information to Increase Tax Compliance in the Democratic Republic of the Congo." American Economic Review 112 (3): 762-797.Assigning tax collectors. The same tax campaign randomly assigned collectors to teams and to neighbourhoods. Simulations suggest that pairing the best collectors together, and sending them to the neighbourhoods with the highest revenue potential, would raise compliance by 37% compared with random assignment. Weigel, Jonathan, Pedro Bessone, Augustin Bergeron, Gabriel Tourek, and John Kabeya Kabeya. 2025. "Supermodular Bureaucrats: Experimental Evidence from the DRC." American Economic Review.Discretion, technology and bribes. In Ghana, property tax collectors equipped with tablets and digital maps spent less time finding properties and more time deciding whom to revisit; collections rose by 103% relative to the control group. In Tajikistan, electronic filing removed face-to-face contact with inspectors, and firms at high risk of evasion paid more tax, probably because they could no longer bribe the inspector. Dzansi, James, Anders Jensen, David Lagakos, and Henry Telli. 2023. "Technology and Tax Capacity: Evidence from Local Governments in Ghana." NBER Working Paper 29923. Okunogbe, Oyebola, and Victor Pouliquen. 2022. "Technology, Taxation, and Corruption: Evidence from the Introduction of Electronic Tax Filing." American Economic Journal: Economic Policy 14 (1): 341-372.Public goods and tax compliance. Several studies test whether a government can persuade citizens to pay more tax by providing public goods first. In Acayucan, a small city in Mexico, randomised street paving raised property tax compliance. Programmes in Mexico City, Pakistan and Freetown, Sierra Leone, found small or mixed effects. Fernandez, Manuel, Marco Gonzalez-Navarro, and Climent Quintana-Domeque. 2025. "Local Public Goods and Property Tax Compliance: Evidence from Residential Street Pavement." Working paper. Khan, Adnan Q., Asim I. Khwaja, Benjamin A. Olken, and Mahvish Shaukat. 2023. "Strengthening the Social Compact: Experimental Evidence from Pakistan." Working paper.The demand-driven social contract. Douglass North and Barry Weingast argued that 17th-century English taxpayers agreed to pay more tax in exchange for a greater say in government. In Kananga, citizens in neighbourhoods assigned to door-to-door property tax collection became more likely to attend town hall meetings and to evaluate government performance. North, Douglass C., and Barry R. Weingast. 1989. "Constitutions and Commitment: The Evolution of Institutions Governing Public Choice in Seventeenth-Century England." Journal of Economic History 49 (4): 803-832. Weigel, Jonathan L. 2020. "The Participation Dividend of Taxation: How Citizens in Congo Engage More with the State When It Tries to Tax Them." Quarterly Journal of Economics 135 (4): 1849-1903.Procedural justice. Citizens are more likely to accept a state's right to tax when its officials apply the law in a fair, predictable and equal way, rather than arbitrarily or on the basis of personal connections. Margaret Levi and co-authors treat procedural justice as one of the main sources of legitimacy. Levi, Margaret, Audrey Sacks, and Tom Tyler. 2009.

All Roads Lead 65 Max Radio with Pamela L Henderson Girl Empowerment, Sierra Leone Diplomacy, and Resilience at the United Nations with Judy Kuriansky Host Pamela L. Henderson talks with UN advisor and clinical psychologist Dr. Judy Kuriansky about girl empowerment, Sierra Leone's Hands Off Our Girls campaign, resilience after trauma, and using music and diplomacy to build peace. A Warm Welcome And Introduction Pamela L. Henderson opens the broadcast on BBS Radio, describing All Roads Lead 65 Max Radio as a platform she built since 2011 around social growth and leadership for young people. She invites listeners to her Tuesday broadcasts and points them to journeyofasapphire.com and allroadslead65max.org. Henderson then introduces her guest, Dr. Judy Kuriansky, calling her an internationally known clinical psychologist, author, humanitarian, media personality, musician, and philanthropist who serves as an advisor to the Mission of the Republic of Sierra Leone at the United Nations. Henderson notes that Kuriansky once climbed Mount Kilimanjaro all the way to the summit, framing her as an example of endurance and determination. Kuriansky thanks Henderson for the invitation and says the show's focus on girl empowerment speaks directly to her own work, calling empowerment the word most critical to self-esteem, to fulfilling dreams, and, expanded outward, to peace in the world. A Journey Into Sierra Leone Kuriansky explains that at the United Nations she advocates for mental health and for Sustainable Development Goal five, the empowerment and rights of women and girls agreed to by 193 countries, and that she works closely with the first lady of Sierra Leone. Asked by Henderson to trace that journey, Kuriansky recalls a Peace Corps friend inviting her to Sierra Leone during the AIDS era, where she did radio outreach with young people for the organization Search for Common Ground. A Sierra Leonean friend was later named ambassador to the United States, and Kuriansky became his policy advisor, learning about poverty and energy issues alongside psychology. She returned during the Ebola outbreak that struck Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea. She describes the first lady, once forced into early marriage herself, winning a UN resolution establishing an international day against child, early, and forced marriage, and a Sierra Leonean law allowing up to fifteen years in prison for perpetrators of sexual violence, giving legal teeth to access to justice. Resilience Lessons And Girl Empowerment Programs Henderson praises Kuriansky's emphasis on resilience, a value central to her own foundation, and Kuriansky illustrates the concept with an exercise she uses with children after disasters: bounce a ball and watch it return, then strike it harder and watch it bounce higher, proof that people can come back from crisis even stronger. Henderson asks about the first lady's Hands Off Our Girls campaign, and Kuriansky explains it targets violence against girls that drives them out of school, and includes distributing sanitary pads so girls can keep attending and building self-esteem. Henderson describes her own program, which serves girls from fourteen into adulthood, many transitioning out of foster care, domestic violence, trafficking, truancy, or family breakdown. Through her company, 65 Max Corporation, its production arm, a clothing line, and her foundation, she teaches customer service skills that build integrity, confidence, and accountability, and graduates can earn certification and apply for jobs within her organization, turning training directly into employment. Surviving Trauma, Saving A Grandson Henderson shares the story behind her foundation: in 2009 her daughter, then twenty-one and raising two children alone, survived a harsh domestic violence relationship that led to her children being removed from her home. Barred from stepping in to help directly, Henderson fought for her grandchildren while facing vandalism to her car and home, tampered bank accounts, and what she describes as a year of gang stalking and bullying, living on little more than water and bread. She says a conversation with God set her on the path that became All Roads Lead 65 Max Foundation. Henderson recounts winning guardianship of her grandson in 2017 after finding him with failing eyesight, poor dental health, and a nerve twitch from prior neglect; she dismissed the doctors treating him with medication and instead gave him love, guidance, and direction, and he is now eighteen, thriving, and doing well in school. Kuriansky calls it a story of survival and thriving, and connects it to her own volunteer support work at Ground Zero after September 11th. Music, Diplomacy, And Global Honors Kuriansky describes one of her proudest programs, The Girls' Empowerment Camp in Lesotho, where she used affirmations, dance, and storytelling to help girls address the dangers of AIDS and build self-worth. She credits her songwriting partner, musician Russell Daisey, a former student who asked her to write psychologically sound lyrics after September 11th; together they wrote Towers of Light, Hands Off Our Girls, One in Faith, Hope Is Alive, and Stand Up for Peace. As a founding member of Women for Diplomacy International, Kuriansky recently traveled to Budapest to read peace poetry with the group's co-founder, a former Hungarian ambassador to the UN. She lists honors including the Grand Commander of the Order of the Rokel from Sierra Leone's president, a Presidential award for volunteer service from President Biden, and induction into the eMentalHealth International Hall of Fame, framing recognition as rooted in a principle from Japanese psychology: appreciating what people do, however small, rather than waiting for grand achievement. Pioneering Advice Radio And What's Next Henderson turns to Kuriansky's decades as a pioneer of call-in radio advice, which began in 1980 after she evaluated sex therapy research for Masters and Johnson and wrote about pleasure for Cosmopolitan magazine, eventually hosting nightly advice shows and a Z100 program featuring celebrity guests. Asked why empowerment matters now, Kuriansky points to wars, personal fears, and anxiety over artificial intelligence, insisting that human connection cannot be replaced by machines, a concern Henderson shares even as her own foundation uses AI alongside live customer-service support. Kuriansky outlines what is next: working with Sierra Leone's first lady at the UN General Assembly, finishing a book, and performing songs including Towers of Light and Stand Up for Peace at a Times Square concert with Russell Daisey. She directs listeners to her website, drjudy.com, and to Black Tie Magazine for her writing. Henderson thanks her guest warmly, and closes the broadcast with a quote about loving fully, living gently, and gracefully letting go of what was never meant to stay.

On this episode of Ask Christian Counseling Associates, Tom Weil and Alex Hoffman join us for an update on Seeds of Freedom, our agricultural and Christian development initiative in Liberia.We'll look at what we learned in 2026, our vision for 2027, and how sustainable development can create lasting opportunity through meaningful work and church-centered local leadership. We'll also share how donors and local churches can partner with Seeds of Freedom through financial support and mission teams.

This week, we report on the Gates Foundation's 2026 Goalkeepers Report, which includes a $1 billion pledge to make AI more inclusive. The funding aims to expand access across health, education, agriculture, and digital equity to directly benefit the global south. We unpack how AI can help lower-income nations tackle critical challenges while ensuring local communities remain central to the process. From the highly anticipated leadership races for the top jobs at the United Nations and World Health Organization, to a critical high-level meeting on pandemic preparedness, we discuss the major themes ahead of UNGA 81, as well as highlight the sessions we are most excited for at Devex Impact House. To dig into these topics, Rumbi Chakamba sits down with Anna Gawel and Catherine Cheney for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series. In the segment of the podcast funded by GSK/ViiV Healthcare, Devex Executive Vice President and Executive Editor Kate Warren speaks with GSK's Chief Global Health Officer, Dr. Harmony Garges. They explore how community-led models, local health worker support, and strategic partnerships are addressing last-mile delivery challenges — from integrating malaria vaccines into primary healthcare in Liberia and Sierra Leone to expanding access to HIV care globally — ensuring much-needed health innovations reach remote and underserved communities.

124 milliards de dollars : c'est le montant des transferts d'argent qui ont été effectués vers l'Afrique en 2025. C'est une hausse de 86 % par rapport à il y a 10 ans, révèle une étude du Fonds international de développement agricole (Fida) publiée en ce début de semaine. Cinq pays (Égypte, Nigéria, Maroc, Éthiopie, Kenya) reçoivent les trois quarts des transferts. Cependant d'autres régions, l'Afrique de l'Ouest en particulier, ont enregistré un boom important. Dans la Goutte-d'Or à Paris pullulent les officines de transfert d'argent. Dans cette petite boutique de la rue Doudeauville, le guichet ne désemplit pas. Les habitudes sont rodées. Pièce d'identité, numéro de téléphone, Mohamed sort un billet de 50 euros. Il transfère chaque mois de l'argent vers le Sénégal. « Pas beaucoup d'argent », estime-t-il. Pour ce boucher, arrivé il y a 10 ans à Paris, la question de faire des transferts d'argent à la famille ne se pose même pas. « Il y a des gens au bled qui sont malades. On envoie de l'argent pour des médicaments. C'est ça le but. S'il y a des problèmes, ils nous le disent et [on essaie] de régler ça. C'est un peu dur mais on les soutient parce qu'on est là pour eux. On travaille pour la famille », témoigne Mohamed.   Les flux d'argent de la diaspora en Afrique de l'Ouest ont explosé ces dernières années. +65 % au Sénégal, +417 % en Côte d'Ivoire. Plusieurs raisons à cela, selon Luc Kpenou, consultant en systèmes de paiement et service digital. « Le mobile money, forcément, a ramené de la proximité. On n'est plus limité simplement au fait qu'on n'est pas bancarisé. Et la faiblesse des agences bancaires a été remplacée par le maillage des distributeurs de mobile money qui sont un peu partout. Donc déjà, cette proximité, cette facilité d'usage est vraiment l'un des critères les plus importants », explique l'expert. Autre facteur, la concurrence qui s'est faite dans la région. « C'est plutôt un facteur stabilisateur » « Plusieurs acteurs ont été obligés de réajuster leur modèle économique pour s'aligner un peu sur les nouveaux entrants qui sont venus et qui étaient quand même assez agressifs en termes de tarification. Ça a été profitable pour les usagers. Quand le transfert coûte moins cher, forcément vous avez tendance à transférer un peu plus et plus souvent », poursuit Luc Kpenou. Autre facteur, les corridors de travailleurs saisonniers dans la région qui dynamisent ces flux financiers. Ces transferts d'argent représentent parfois près d'un quart du PIB des États, c'est le cas aux Comores, par exemple, en Gambie ou au Liberia. Pour Frédéric Ponsot, expert du Fida, cette dépendance aux flux de la diaspora n'est pas une fragilité. « C'est plutôt un facteur stabilisateur, assure-t-il. Dans le même temps, comme vous le savez, l'aide au développement a beaucoup diminué. Et puis les investissements directs étrangers sont assez erratiques. Quelles que soient les crises économiques, 2007, Covid… On a constaté en fait qu'au moment où il y a des crises, des crises économiques, ce qui se passe, c'est que les migrants, quelle que soit la situation dans laquelle ils se trouvent, ils regardent la situation dans laquelle leurs familles se trouvent et ils font les sacrifices nécessaires », détaille Frédéric Ponsot. Reste le défi de l'interopérabilité – car l'essentiel des flux migratoires sont intra-africains. Il s'agit de fluidifier les envois entre pays et de faire baisser les coûts des transferts d'argent. Ils atteignent en moyenne 7 % et font du continent la région la plus chère dans le domaine.  À lire aussiSerge-Éric Menye: «Aucun pays au monde ne peut prétendre avoir été développé par les diasporas»

In this episode, we kick things off with a stark warning from the Teamsters union as ⁠President Sean O'Brien puts UPS on notice for a potential strike in 2028⁠, two full years before contract negotiations typically turn contentious. Among the key demands are protections against benefit rollbacks, restrictions on autonomous trucks, and a highly unusual provision allowing regional unions to strike mid-contract over unresolved grievances. Next, we explore major maritime infrastructure developments as ⁠construction officially begins on Delaware's massive $669 million container terminal along the Delaware River⁠. The Delaware Container Terminal will feature a 45-foot berth depth capable of handling post-Panamax vessels up to 16,000 TEUs and is projected to create nearly 6,000 new jobs once fully operational by late 2028. Finally, we cover a devastating incident in China where ⁠a deadly fire aboard a cargo ship at a Qingdao shipyard claimed 25 lives⁠ during repair operations. The blaze erupted Thursday morning aboard the Liberia-flagged dry bulk carrier Ocean Melody, with authorities launching an investigation into the cause of the tragedy that left 42 people aboard at the time of the incident. ⁠Follow the FreightWaves Today Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What happens when a pastor can no longer believe the message he has spent his life preaching?In Part Two of our conversation with Dr. Todd Phillips, former megachurch pastor and creator of “The Deconstructed Pastor,” Todd continues his journey out of evangelical Christianity. After years of building his life around the Bible, he began confronting difficult questions surrounding his faith in the Bible, Jesus, and even God. Eventually, he reached a point where he could no longer reconcile what he was discovering with the beliefs he had once preached.Todd shares what happened as his faith unraveled following the conclusion of his nonprofit work. He describes the devastating experience of losing his relationship with God, and realizing he could no longer preach.His journey eventually led him to TikTok and social media, where he began sharing his story as “The Deconstructed Pastor.” Today, Todd hopes to help other “ex-vangelicals” navigate religious deconstruction and “shorten the pain curve” for those going through it themselves.Todd and John also discusses his changing views on hell, divine hiddenness, faith vs truth, religious psychology, morality without religion, and whether humanity needs religion. He reflects on valuing truth over community comfort, and his relationship with believers he once influenced.Dr. Todd Phillips is a former evangelical pastor who served at McLean Bible Church in Washington, D.C., and Lakepointe Church in Dallas. He also ran a nonprofit called The Last Well, which worked to bring clean water and Christianity to the people of Liberia. Today, he works in AI consulting while building his platform as “The Deconstructed Pastor.”Todd's donations links and social accounts can be found here.Also, as a special gift for Mormon Stories listeners, Todd has offered 2 FREE gifts - his "Deconstruction Guide" and "You Don't Need to Fear Hell" course. Together, these resources are usually $34, so we are grateful to Todd for sharing these with our audience! https://stan.store/drtoddphillips/p/deconstruct-without-fear-2-free-guides___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

What would cause a megachurch pastor to lose his faith?In this episode of Mormon Stories Podcast, we sit down with former megachurch pastor Dr. Todd Phillips to explore his journey from a new Christian searching for a fresh start, to becoming a pastor and ministry leader, preaching to crowds of 10,000 people or more.Todd grew up without a strong religious background, but after finding Christianity in his twenties, he quickly immersed himself in evangelicalism. He went on to become a preacher and pastor at McLean Bible Church in Washington, D.C., and Lakepointe Church in Dallas. He eventually went on to direct a multi-million dollar nonprofit called The Last Well, which worked to bring clean water and Christianity to the people of Liberia. Todd walks us through the beliefs that once shaped his worldview, believing in Christianity as the one and only path to God. He also shares what it was like to build his life around those beliefs, rise through evangelical ministry, and eventually encounter questions that challenged the foundations of his faith.Along the way, Todd and John compare evangelical and LDS theology, discuss megachurch culture, and explore interesting theological questions/beliefs. This is Part One of Todd's story, with more to come as he explores what happens when a pastor begins to question the beliefs he once devoted his life to.Todd now shares his experiences and insights online as “The Deconstructed Pastor.”Todd's donations links and social accounts can be found ⁠here⁠.Also, as a special gift for Mormon Stories listeners, Todd has offered 2 FREE gifts - his "Deconstruction Guide" and "You Don't Need to Fear Hell" course.

From selling charcoal, firewood and a popular West Africa staple food locally known as garri, to making waves on the global music scene. Liberian superstar JZyNO has come a long way. He started making music in Liberia before moving to Ghana to pursue his dreams, where he found a more developed music industry. In 2023, he broke onto the international scene with his hit single, Butta My Bread, which has amassed over 300 million views. He sat down with Focus on Africa to reflect on life since his breakout hit, his humble beginnings in Liberia, and what the country needs to do to produce more globally successful artists.

Als kind vluchtte Clarice Gargard twee keer uit Liberia, waar een burgeroorlog uitbrak. Haar verleden leerde haar dat goed en kwaad niet tegenover elkaar staan. „Het is een spectrum. Mensen kunnen tegelijk goede én slechte dingen doen. Dat is de complexiteit van mens zijn.” Als we willen bouwen aan een betere wereld, moet daarin volgens haar ruimte zijn voor die complexiteit, met oog voor zowel slachtoffers als daders. „Dat klinkt heel idealistisch en whatever. Maar wat is het alternatief? Dit blijven doen?”Verzet tegen de wereld van nu hoeft volgens Gargard niet hard te zijn. Zachtheid en strijd lijken tegenpolen, maar juist daarin zit volgens haar de paradox: „Het is toch bizar dat we meer zachtheid in de wereld willen, maar dat we dat willen bereiken door te strijden.” Gargard stelt dat we zelf moeten worden wat we zeggen te willen van de wereld. „Je moet die betere wereld al zijn eigenlijk.”Heeft u vragen, suggesties of ideeën over onze journalistiek?

En 1961 y 1973 Nina Simone hizo dos viajes a África, dos viajes profundamente significativos. Entre el primero, a Nigeria y organizado por la AMSAC (polémica, cuanto menos) y el segundo, el autoexilio en Liberia, Simone vivió la primera línea de la lucha por los derechos civiles, fue amiga íntima de Malcolm X y participó en la marcha de Selma a Montgomery. Tras los asesinatos de los líderes civiles, decidió marcharse para siempre de los que llegó a llamar United Snakes of America.Escuchar audio

During this Black August, US White Nationalists have continued to compile victories in the federal court, from Donald Trump's White Nationalist Department of Justice dropping charges against Oath Keepers January 6, 2021 insurrectionists to his illegal White House ballroom project being endorsed through inaction by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.Internationally, the US federal government continues to alienate former allies such as Canada, strong arm African governments like Liberia and support authoritarian and genocidal regimes from North Korea to Israel, all while further attempting to suppress internal critics, from sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln to military media watchdogs like Stars and Stripes.Still, from within the fracturing US polity, both resistance and victory against would-be fascist overlords continues to rise. A US Senate primary victory in Florida and wins in other smaller federal and state races continue to unsettle both soft white nationalist Democratic establishment formations and an increasingly unhinged and embattled White Nationalist Party.Their reactions are well-warranted: A swelling number of people are taking and preparing to take action, independent of establishment politicians, mass media pundits, political operatives and precariously-perched managerial classes.From within Africana Governance formations, hope for creating better lives through collective effort is finding footing, fed by increasing numbers of awakened, informed, and engaged actors.This week, In Class With Carr places the concept of hope as an Africana Way of Knowing formed out of the Momentum of Memory in the context of US and global events.We start today's class with Tequila Johnson.Are you a member of Knarrative?

Americans spend nearly $30 billion a year on plastic surgery procedures, including fillers and Botox. And there's probably no better example than the White House, where the "Mar-A-Lago face" – a very specific, very smooth, very… augmented appearance – runs rampant. But maybe that's starting to change. Faced with actors, actresses, influencers, and AI, some people are starting to forgo their pursuit of aesthetic perfection in favor of something a little more natural. But does that mean more people are going to go without Botox – or will more people want procedures that don't make them look like they had Botox? To find out, we spoke with Amanda Mull, senior reporter at Bloomberg Businessweek.And in headlines, the national debt surpasses a record $40 trillion, North Korea launches multiple short-range ballistic missiles, and the U.S. has sent 20 deportees to Liberia as part of a new deal.Show Notes: Check out Amanda's piece – tinyurl.com/33w2rm56 Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com

Newport Gardner's Anthem: A Story of Slavery, Struggle, and Survival in Early America (Cornell UP, 2025) explores the remarkable life of Occramer Marycoo, an enslaved African who went on to become one of early America's most important Black leaders.  In the mid-eighteenth century, Marycoo was taken from West Africa to Newport, Rhode Island, where he was forced into racial bondage and given a name that symbolized the power that his new city and new enslaver held over him: Newport Gardner. In this powerful book, Edward E. Andrews pieces together newspaper articles, church records, letters, and Gardner's own writings to tell the story of his life. After acquiring his freedom via a winning lottery ticket in 1791, Gardner became a kind of Founding Father for Newport's free Black community. He established and led several Black benevolent organizations that helped the community navigate the complicated waters of freedom as Rhode Island slowly began the process of emancipation. He became a popular educator to young Black Newporters, and also emerged as a key religious figure, serving as a long-standing pillar of Newport's First Congregational Church and later founding an independent Black church in the 1820s. His final act was leading a group of about three dozen Black New Englanders to Liberia, in hopes that a new start in Africa would be better than the discrimination they faced in America. A richly textured account, Newport Gardner's Anthem tells the story of a forgotten Black leader while exploring the new, but tragically limited, opportunities for formerly enslaved people in the post-Revolutionary world.
