Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
"How could this happen in the U.S.?" It’s a common refrain as disaster assistance continues in the hurricane-ravaged Gulf region. We ask international development experts how lessons from humanitarian crises in countries as diverse as Sri Lanka and Sudan may apply to the domestic disaster.
Guests
- Susan Romanski Deputy Director, Global Emergency Operations Team, Mercy Corps
- Kim Maynard Humanitarian assistance consultant and President of the Cuny Center in Washington, D.C.
