@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Great program and cudos for sharing your insights about humanitarian and development work. I was surprised to hear @RoryStewartUK use the term “overseas development assistance”- a notion used only by people growing up in the UK- instead of “official development assistance”. Why?

Good data is the foundation of both good policymaking & country programs. 

Enjoyed visiting the @WorldBank - @UN @Refugees Joint Data Center in Copenhagen to discuss efforts to fill data gaps on forced displacement.
