Dear all,

Just to let you know that episode five of our In beta podcast is now live

In this episode, we examine questions of civil society sustainability in
the global South with three voices from civil society and the donor
community: Julie Broome, director of the Ariadne donor network; Andrew
Puddephatt, executive chair of GPD’s advisory board; and Khilen Nathwani of
the Kays Foundation.
