Fragility is the New Poverty: Why the Aid Sector Is Solving for the Wrong Problem
In this compelling episode of Finding Good: The New Rules of Doing Good, Daniel Wordsworth dives deep into the uncomfortable truths shaping today’s humanitarian landscape.Drawing from his decades of frontline experience, Daniel shares a provocative and urgent perspective: poverty is no longer the primary challenge—fragility is. The systems meant to support the world’s most vulnerable are broken, and too often, the aid sector is still solving for a problem that has evolved.We explore real-world examples—from Afghanistan to Eastern Congo—and introduce Asili, a grassroots model thriving not despite fragility, but because it's built for it. Through this lens, Daniel challenges listeners to rethink what progress looks like when the world no longer follows the old rules.With sharp insights, grounded examples, and a clear call to action, this episode isn’t just a conversation—it’s a wake-up call.This is Finding Good: The New Rules of Doing GoodFollow Daniel and join the conversation on TikTok: @danielwordsworthau Hosted on Acast.
