    The latest from Women Deliver, WHO rotation, and BRAC localization

    We talk about what happened at the massive Women Deliver conference, examine why the World Health Organization backtracked on a major policy change, and look at one the world's largest NGOs.

We also delve into whether hosting conferences and headquartering development organizations in the global south is an effective tool to drive the localization agenda, and we touch on the World Health Organization’s postponement of its plan to require staff to rotate to different duty stations every several years. To dig into these topics and get the latest on our coverage of Women Deliver, for episode nine of the This Week in Global Development podcast series I talk to Devex Senior Reporter Sara Jerving and Larry Cooley, president emeritus and senior adviser at Management Systems International.
