49. Honest Competition

Trumanitarian

Raj Kumar is the co-founder, President and Editor-in-Chief at Devex, the media platform for the global development community to discuss international development and humanitarian action. Together with Trumanitarian host Lars Peter Nissen he explores the current state of play in the development and humanitarian industries.

Raj brings a fresh perspective to the conversations engulfing the humanitarian ecosystem: localisation, the nexus, accountability, risk, and financing. Inspired by the disruption and innovation that has occurred in the Development sector over the past decades he asks for more risk taking and bolder leadership, and using technology smartly to drive a shift towards humanitarian action accountable and adapted to the needs and wants of the individual – a shift from wholesale to retail aid! Raj has written about this and many more ideas in his book The Business of Changing the World
