Positive Impact
Welcome to Positive Impact, a joint podcast by Terre des hommes and the Geneva Centre of Humanitarian Studies dedicated to the future of humanitarian action.
Across the series, we take a closer look at new approaches shaping how children and communities are supported in crisis-affected and fragile settings. From digital tools that transform access to healthcare, to new ways of approaching migration, to efforts to localise decision-making, each episode brings insights from practitioners and researchers working on the front lines of innovation.
Positive Impact shines a light on what is possible when expertise, evidence and local perspectives come together to drive change.

The Future of Humanitarian and Development Aid Is Local
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As humanitarian and development challenges grow more complex, local organisations and communities are taking on a decisive role in shaping how assistance is designed and delivered. Moving beyond traditional models, localisation places leadership, resources and decision-making closer to those who understand the context best. This shift not only strengthens accountability and relevance, it also lays the groundwork for more resilient, dignified and sustainable responses.
