Melinda Bohannon on partnerships and the future of development cooperation

There's been much talk about the shift from aid to investment – from donor-recipient models to more equitable global partnerships – but is global development cooperation really changing in practice? On the latest episode of Think Change, all four co-chairs of this week's Global Partnerships Conference in London joined our Chief Executive Sara Pantuliano for a candid conversation about the future of development policy in a rapidly changing world – and where this week's discussions could take us. Among them was Melinda Bohannon, Director General for Global Issues at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, who reflects on the opportunity to move beyond rhetoric towards a more honest conversation about power, mutual resilience and how to channel investment where it’s needed most. #ThinkChangePodcast #GlobalPartnershipsConference #Partnerships #DevelopmentCooperation #FutureOfAid
