Trusting local actors and solutions in conflict affected countries

Our guest: Habib Ur Rehman Mayar,

In this episode, Carmel, Chris and Jeremy discuss the politics of aid in fragile states with Habib Ur Rehman Mayar, Deputy General Secretary of the g7+ Secretariat and Executive Director of g7+ Foundation. The g7+ is an intergovernmental organisation made up of conflict-affected countries, providing a platform to collectively voice the need for national dialogue and reconciliation; advocate for effective development cooperation founded on the principles of country ownership, transparency and mutual accountability; and facilitate sharing of first-hand experience and good development practices.

In this conversation, Habib advocates for reforms to the international aid system to support country led, sustainable development and solutions to conflict.
