🎙️ Between the Lines | Ep. 8 From Aid to Agency: Rethinking the Donor Landscape for Refugees
Once shaped by emergency relief, refugee support systems are now shifting toward long-term development, sustainability, and localisation.
In this episode, host Mwara Namelok is joined by Lilian Obiye, policy expert at the Netherlands Embassy, to explore how global events, funding priorities, and political realities are reshaping the donor landscape and what it means for local and refugee-led organisations.
Together, they explore:
✔️ How COVID-19 and climate change changed donor priorities
✔️ Whether localisation has gone beyond policy language
✔️ The role of politics in aid, and the risks of short-termism
✔️ Kenya’s Shirika Plan and how it signals a new direction
✔️ Advice for grassroots organisations navigating this new reality
Tune in for a timely and insightful conversation on power, policy, and how we fund the future of refugee response.
