This podcast explores the realities of humanitarian action in Tanzania beyond traditional aid organizations. Hosted by Alexander Maxelon, this series brings together researchers, policymakers, and community members to discuss insights from Everyday Humanitarianism in Tanzania (EHTZ)—a Danida-funded research project led by Prof. Lisa Ann Richey in collaboration with scholars from Copenhagen Business School (CBS), the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), Roskilde University (RUC), Lund University, and the London School of Economics (LSE).
Through expert interviews and fieldwork reflections, we dive into topics such as elite giving, refugee support, disaster response, and the future of humanitarian research. Join us as we unpack what it means to help—and be helped—in everyday life.
