Episode notes

When russia invaded ukrane, the global aid organization quickly threw itself into meeting the needs of frightened refugees. Jada says aid organizations have gotten smarter about optimizing resources to help more people in better ways. Still, the human costs in ukraine are intense, with long term ramifications for the region and knock on impacts for other populations in need.

Tjada D'Oyen McKenna, the CEO of Mercy Corps, an NGO on the front lines of the Ukrainian crisis, provides an inside look on how they’re helping address the needs of refugees. Mercy Corps began scenario planning well in advance of Russia’s aggression, and they’re now deploying food, cash, and social services to those in need. She also cautions about potential negative impacts elsewhere, as troubles in Ukraine pull resources from other struggling populations.
