Samuel Hall Stories Podcast Ep 3: Strengthening Localisation: The Value of Faith Actors in Humanitarian Work
In conversation with Nassim Majidi, Co-founder and Executive Director at Samuel Hall based in Nairobi and Juliette Samman, Research Lead
Get ready for an engaging and insightful discussion in our latest Samuel Hall Stories podcast episode! In this third instalment, we delve into the integral role that faith actors play in humanitarian work.
Drawing from our research across Kenya, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine, and Mozambique, with Islamic Relief Worldwide, this collaborative episode explores a vital question: How can faith actors effectively support local humanitarian and development efforts and strengthen localisation efforts?
Hosted by Devyani Nighoskar, our Storytelling and Communications Officer, the podcast features insights from our co-founder and principal researcher Dr. Nassim Majidi, and our research lead Juliette Samman. Together, they:
- Debunk common myths about the role of faith actors in humanitarian work.
- Explore shared values between secular and faith-based actors.
- Discuss compelling stories and case studies from the research that highlight the impact of faith actors.
- Address challenges faced by these actors and provide evidence-based solutions.
The Samuel Hall Stories podcast bridges the gap, making intricate subjects accessible and providing solutions backed by local knowledge to the most pressing issues in migration and displacement.
