The rising need for aid affects us all, says this humanitarian leader

In an interconnected world, the argument for aid isn’t only a moral one - it’s a strategic one, explains David Miliband, President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee.This is because the conflicts, stressors and power misuses that drive global displacement are never confined to nation states, he says - they’re multilateral. Here, Miliband talks us through the rational case for tackling the world’s humanitarian problems - and explains how, at a time of growing imbalance and dwindling aid budgets, the private sector can make a difference. David Miliband was a guest on the World Economic Forum’s Meet the Leader podcast.
