ALNAP’s A Matter of Priorities: a podcast on tough choices in humanitarian funding trailer

The humanitarian principle of providing assistance to those in greatest need is facing unprecedented challenges. With funding decreasing and the number of people requiring support rising sharply, humanitarian donors and organisations are grappling with impossible decisions about who to prioritise and what needs to address.

A Matter of Priorities dives into these dilemmas, examining how the sector makes complex choices when resources fall short of meeting overwhelming demand. From deciding who receives aid to redefining what constitutes humanitarian "need," this podcast brings together experts from across the sector to explore these pressing questions.

Join our host, Alice Obrecht (ALNAP’s Head of Research and Impact), as we address key topics such as:

  • What does ethical and effective decision-making look like in humanitarian aid, and who holds the power to make these critical choices?
  • How has humanitarian action evolved in recent years and how should we redefine the role of humanitarians?

Through this podcast, we aim to deepen your understanding of the complexities surrounding prioritisation in the humanitarian aid sector.
