This week, we are tuning in from Davos as we report from the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. With Trump’s attendance and foreign policy dominating the summit, we discuss the most important updates for the global development community, including the Gates Foundation and OpenAI’s $50 million commitment to support AI-infused health programs across Africa.
We examine the year’s defining narratives — specifically the shift toward sovereign, country-led initiatives — and explain why the global development community’s presence at Davos is vital to ensuring these voices shape the new international order.
To bring you the latest from Davos, Senior Editor Rumbi Chakamba sits down with President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar and Global Development Reporter Elissa Miolene for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.
