This episode brings together two of UNA-Canada’s International Youth Internship Programme’s (IYIP) recent alumni. Nobel Aka, who interned with WFP Senegal as their Regional Partnerships intern, and Li Feng Xie, who interned with WFP Rome as their Climate Action intern. With facilitation from the IYIP Project Officer Megan McGeough, the speakers explore the work of WFP from their different perspectives, comparing Nobel’s work with the Regional Bureau in Dakar, and Li Feng’s experience working with Headquarters in Rome. The guest speakers delve into matters of food insecurity and security in the Sahel region, and the impacts of climate change on food insecurity, as well as reflecting on episode 1’s query of the westernized nature of aid, and the need for an increased focus on regional, south-south partnerships in international development.

Episode 2 : L'insécurité alimentaire et le Programme alimentaire mondial (PAM) : Stage au PAM dans un bureau régional ou au siège de l'organisation
Cet épisode réunit deux anciens stagiaires du Programme international de stages pour les jeunes (PISJ) de l'ACNU. Nobel Aka, qui a fait un stage au PAM Sénégal dans le cadre des partenariats régionaux, et Li Feng Xie, qui a fait un stage au PAM Rome dans le cadre de l'action climatique. Avec l'aide de Megan McGeough, responsable de projet de PSIJ, les intervenants explorent le travail du PAM de leurs différentes perspectives, comparant le travail de Nobel avec le bureau régional de Dakar et l'expérience de Li Feng avec le siège à Rome. Les intervenants se penchent sur les questions d'insécurité alimentaire et de sécurité dans la région du Sahel, ainsi que sur les impacts du changement climatique sur l'insécurité alimentaire. Ils réfléchissent également à la question de l'épisode 1 concernant la nature occidentalisée de l'aide et la nécessité de mettre davantage l'accent sur les partenariats régionaux et sud-sud dans le développement international.
