Sir Mark Lowcock

Mark Lowcock, former Permanent Secretary of the DFID, Andrew Mitchell, Conservative MP and former Secretary of State for International Development, and Kathryn Nwajiaku-Dahou, governance expert at ODI, dive into the complexities of foreign aid. They discuss its moral imperatives and how aid has historically reduced poverty and fostered development. The trio argues for a shift in perspective: viewing foreign aid as a strategic investment in global stability. They also explore innovative solutions to migration and the importance of international cooperation amidst growing challenges.
