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
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.
