So inspiring to spend time with the world’s best President to hear his reflections on a life in campaigning politics, holding onto the transcendant, and how not to be knocked back by people who tell you that change is impossible. president.ie/en/diary/det...

Great visit to WFP Pavilion in Bangkok. Loved:
Resilience, not rescue: school lunches from farms nearby.
Dignity: Rome (left) saying “people enjoying a meal” (never “beneficiaries receiving food”).
Thais fighting hunger worldwide. “Donor countries” frame is over.

Fed up with the paternalism of the Global North’s old and shrinking aid model?

But want to see in its place not isolationism but cooperation between equals?

Then have a look at - and consider being part of building - the growing momentum for global public investment.
