Shifting Mindsets Audio Companion: Experimental approaches to flexibility

In this audio companion, we explore experimental approaches to adaptive humanitarian programming. Alice Obrecht (Senior Research Fellow, ALNAP) travels to the Democratic Republic of Congo to speak to Gabriele Erba (UNICEF), who heads up a programme built on this approach. We also speak to Leni Wild (Director of Global Learning for Adaptive Management)to find out how these approaches are used in the development sector.

ALNAP’s report ‘Shifting Mindsets: Creating a more flexible humanitarian response’ looks at the problem of flexibility in humanitarian action. The report is accompanied by a nine-part audio companion which explores some of the key problems in more depth by interviewing people working to understand these problems and develop ways to fix them. You can listen to the rest of the audio companions and read the report at www.alnap.org/shiftingmindsets
