Listen in on over an hour of discussion on the huge changes the $200bn global aid sector is undergoing with someone at the center of the debate - Washington, DC-based Raj Kumar, Founding President and Editor-in-Chief at 130-strong Devex, the media and recruitment platform for the global development community. In my chat with Raj, we look at his journey from Georgetown via political campaigning to starting a dot com at the urging of his professor at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard - a dot com which now has a database of a million aid professionals round the world, as well as: the comparison between a $200bn aid industry, the $200bn global Workplace Learning industry - and how much the world spends on iPhones every year; the Devex offering - from news to recruitment services, from market and business intelligence/opportunities; the move from charity and state aid to heavy commercial (Microsoft, Starbucks) to private philanthropy (The Gates Foundation); the complexity of his world - from the legacy of Colonialism and humanitarianism to today’s geopolitical economic and security motivations; the China factor, the tectonic metric shift: from ‘charity’ to ‘results’ - from ‘projects’ to ‘process;' the ambiguity of 'capacity building,' and much more.
