Listen "Bad Aid"
Episode Synopsis
While the humanitarian impulse to help those in need is commendable, it can sometimes be misdirected and even harmful. This podcast examines various forms of aid, highlighting how donations of goods, money, and medical supplies can sometimes be counterproductive. The A.I hosts discuss the challenges of mismatched needs and supply, inappropriate technology, the complexities of logistics, and the unintended consequences of donating old clothes and expired medications. The aim is to encourage donors to consider the effectiveness of their aid and to advocate for a more strategic and informed approach to providing assistance in times of need.
