Podcast: Inequality, Power and the Future of Development Cooperation

Mali, Mozambique, Ukraine: More humanitarian crises and fragile contexts. Changing political framework conditions, national distribution struggles and global information exchange. International development cooperation is undergoing transformation.

We meet Melchior Lengsfeld, Executive Director of the development organisation Helvetas and NADEL graduate 1998, to discuss current challenges and future priorities of international development organisations.

Together we will explore the question of how development cooperation changes when national inequalities increase and the persuasive power of democracy diminishes. And we talk about why development is always about changes in power relations and why development cooperation is always political.

Also: About urbanisation, decolonisation and renouncing consumption
