Episode 19: A conversation with Kelly T. Clements Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR - The UN Refugee Agency

Saison 2 · Épisode 19

vendredi 25 octobre 2024 • Durée 48:25

Refugees and internally displaced persons do not choose to leave their homes – they are forced to, due to natural and man-made disasters, conflict and persecution, and of course, climate change. Forced displacement continues to surge past historic levels, topping at an alarming 120 million in 2024.

For this episode of Goalmakers, it was a great honor to be able to sit and have a conversation with Kelly T. Clements, United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees. She graciously took a break from the UN General Assembly in New York to join me over Zoom.

Kelly and I were able to dive into the factors causing forced displacement, as well as the challenges of resettlement, how host countries are assisting, how UNHCR is leveraging technology, and examples of hope and perseverance.

Kelly has been working on refugee and displacement issues throughout her 25-year career, including a secondment from the US Government to UNHCR in Bangladesh in the 1990s.

In fact, she was previously Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, or PRM, from 2010 to 2015, with responsibility for humanitarian issues in Asia and the Middle East. She previously led PRM's Office of Policy and Resource Planning, where she oversaw the Bureau's strategic planning, policy development and financial resources to protect and assist refugees, conflict victims, and vulnerable migrants worldwide. She also served as Acting Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon during 2014.

Suffice it to say, she has a wealth of understanding and knowledge about refugees and IDPs.

Any one of us could be forcibly displaced.

I invite you to take a moment to image that you are just forced from your home, your town or city, what would you do – where would you go?

...I hope you enjoy this episode, and remember, to bring about positive change and assist refugees, think globally and act locally.

Episode 17: A Conversation with Naria Santa Lucia, General Manager of Digital Inclusion at Microsoft Philanthropies

Saison 2 · Épisode 17

samedi 19 octobre 2024 • Durée 45:13

Digital upskilling ... digital inclusion.

These are important concepts when one understands the need for economic opportunity for new job seekers and existing business owners in low- to middle-income countries.

Whether from a university in Ghana, or a village in Haryana, it is paramount for people in today’s business ecosystems to have comfort with, and knowledge of, digital technologies to be successful.

Microsoft understands this and has embarked on an ambitious mission to empower not only the emerging new generation of skilled workers across the globe, but also companies, government agencies, and nonprofits who support economic development in low- to middle-income countries.

This may sound like a lofty goal, yet Microsoft is achieving amazing results.

To find out more about how they do this, I was able to have an informative conversation with a woman who is at the heart of it all, Naria Santa Lucia, General Manager of Digital Inclusion at Microsoft Philanthropies.

Naria talked about the vast number of interrelated programs, products, and services Microsoft offers nonprofits, job seekers, and, well, just about anyone who would like to learn more about technology.

Episode 9: A conversation with Jennifer Jones, President of Rotary International 2022-2023

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

jeudi 2 novembre 2023 • Durée 34:20

In this episode we hear from Jennifer Jones – at the time of this recording in September 2022, Jennifer was just about to take office as the first ever woman President of Rotary International. Yes, a first in its 115-year history.

This is an amazing accomplishment, so you can imagine how excited we were to be able to interview her, initially for an article we wrote which highlights incredible individuals we call Goalmakers.

Jennifer was interviewed by Amber Cortes, one of Global Washington’s writers.

We hope you enjoy this episode as Jennifer takes us on her journey from attending Rotary meetings as a reporter in the late 1980’s to becoming the 2022-2023 President, and quite a bit more...

-----------

Next up, I was able to grab some time with Tim Prewitt, the President and CEO of The Hunger Project, while he was passing through Seattle in April of 2023.

We were able to find a space in a WeWork conference room and had a deep and inciteful conversation about food systems, food security, the challenge of addressing extreme hunger around the world, how living, working and visiting international locations helps adjust one's perspective, and slow down, and much, much more.

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

lundi 13 mars 2023 • Durée 48:08

In this episode, we hear from Isam Ghanim. Originally from Sudan, Isam’s journey to his role as President and CEO of ChildFund is a 360-degree experience within the humanitarian sector.

Of his appointment, Lyn McDermid, ChildFund's Board chair stated “He was a standout among the 100-plus candidates we considered, with his remarkable breadth of experience, diverse contributions, already-established credibility within ChildFund, and the unprecedented growth he led at Search for Common Ground.”

Isam talks about why and how they work with their 169 local partners across 24 countries; the crisis in the Horn of Africa where 19m are experiencing food insecurity and children are the most vulnerable, and how ChildFund is providing solutions and assistance to create better resilience; as well as how ChildFund engages in advocacy for child welfare locally and at the global level.

Kristen Dailey, Executive Director of Global Washington, interviewed Isam in September of 2022.

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

lundi 23 janvier 2023 • Durée 01:15:28

Over the years, education has focused on access and parity – closing the enrollment gap between girls and boys – while insufficient attention has been paid to retention and achievement, and the quality and relevance of education. Providing quality and relevant education not only leads to improved enrollment and retention, but also helps to ensure everyone is able to fully realize the benefits of education. Join us for a discussion on how GlobalWA members define quality education and how their education programs advance gender equality.

Speakers:

Laura Baerwolf, Director of Operations, Mona Foundation
Alice Lamunu, Founder & Executive Director, Voices of Children’s Faith in Northern Uganda (VOCFINU)
Shoshon Tama-Sweet, Director of International Programs and ACE Transition Partners, Alliance for Children Everywhere

Episode 3: The Future of U.S. Based NGO Leadership

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mardi 20 septembre 2022 • Durée 47:16

This episode – The Future of US Based NGO Leadership - was recorded at our 2021 Goalmakers annual conference and is moderated by Akhtar Badshah, Distinguished Practitioner & Senior Lecturer at the University of Washington, and author of Purpose Mindset.

Akhtar interviews three outstanding leaders of incredibly effective and respected organizations.

Nikolaj Gilbert, CEO of PATH, Janti Soeripto, President & CEO of Save the Children, and Atul Tandon, CEO of Opportunity International, all talk about how through listening and understanding at the local level, they realized more could be done, and they could be even more effective by creating regional, country-based structures for decision making and ownership.

But these transitions have had their own set of unique challenges, as you may have guessed. Let’s hear what those challenges were, how they approached them, and the benefits gained from these power shifts.

Episode 2: The Future of Global Development

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mardi 20 septembre 2022 • Durée 44:32

In this episode, directors from VillageReach, The Hunger Project, and CARE talk about THE FUTURE OF GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT, and specifically, and perhaps most importantly at this juncture in current affairs, the concept of decolonizing global development. Listen to how each organization has embraced this shift, the challenges they’ve encountered and the successes they’ve achieved. And there have even been some surprisingly positive unintended consequences.

Localization, decentralizing power, country-led development, community-led development, these are all terms that describe the shifting of power to the local communities where the humanitarian work is being performed.

This session, recorded in December 2021 at our Goalmakers conference, is moderated by Akhtar Badshah, Distinguished Practitioner & Senior Lecturer at the University of Washington and author of Purpose Mindset.
