The Readout is a podcast hosted by the Development Intelligence Lab.

At the Lab, we’re tackling the big issues of development cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. We take one gnarly issue at a time, gather the best of the best from the region, Government, and academia, and dive deep to unpack the issue – and find the way forward.

And our favourite part of these projects is the conversations we have along the way. So here on The Readout, we take you behind the scenes to let you in on the phone calls, the coffees, and the lightbulb moments that shaped each project.

Dr Salmah Eva-Lina Lawrence x The Majority World – what’s in a phrase?

Season 6 · Episode 15

mercredi 4 septembre 2024 • Duration 14:21

How can we shift the language of international development to better reflect global realities? With Dr Salmah Lawrence, a leader in development thought and practice, we talk about her influential article that challenges the terms "developing world" and "Global South." Salmah explains the concept of the "Majority World" and argues for a new approach to development that includes social and cultural factors, not just economic ones.

Salmah shares her vision for Australian development policy, by tackling the Lab’s standing hypothetical.

Australia’s International Development Policy Anniversary Event. In this special episode, we take you behind the scenes of the key anniversary event with Minister for International Development and the Pacific, the Hon Pat Conroy MP.

Minister Conroy shares his reflections on the achievements and challenges faced, emphasising the importance of listening to and respecting the needs of our neighbours.

He also announces funding for the new Civil Society Partnerships Fund and hears pitches and ideas from Matt Darvas of Micah, Serena Sasingian of Digital Foundation and Darren Lim of ANU.

Finally, Minister Conroy answers Lab hypothetical; “imagine yourself in 10 years’ time, what was the most critical change you made or direction you gave, during that time. What would you love to be able to say?”
