Episode 10 - Economic Resilience in the Face of Political Uncertainty

  • Summary

  • Political and economic uncertainty, conflict and insecurity have negative impacts on entire populations. However, these affect vulnerable groups – such as youth and women – in a disproportionate manner. In fragile contexts, their already precarious social and economic situation gets exacerbated by sudden shocks in the labour market, leaving them with fewer and poorer job opportunities.

    In this episode, our guest speakers Ahmed Darwish, our Country Lead for Sudan, Safia Elfadni from Alsalam Factory and Jonathan Moss, expert on conflict and stabilisation, discussed the significance of development programs in fragile contexts and how they can be designed to be sustainable also in the long term.

    Local ownership, focus on vulnerable groups like youth and women, and going beyond financial support were just some of the examples of good practices that our speakers brought up. Listen or watch the full episode to know more!
