About this listen
In this episode of Quantum Humanitarian, we turn to one of the defining themes running through Ali Al Mokdad’s work: the centrality of local leadership in international aid. From frontline resilience to systemic reform, the conversation unpacks why empowering local actors is not just a moral imperative but also a practical necessity for the future of humanitarian and development action.
Drawing on Ali’s reflections and lived experiences, the hosts explore how local leadership challenges old power structures, reshapes accountability, and opens the door to more sustainable, community-driven responses. This isn’t about theory alone—it’s about presence, courage, and the quiet strength of those who carry the weight of crises where they live.
