The podcast “Hakawi Fi Al-Tanmia | Development Talks” represents one of Sawiris Foundation’s learning media products targeting researchers, development practitioners, and policymakers. For the first season, several models and experiences of poverty reduction were presented, especially in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian war. Important questions were raised about how to combat poverty, the challenges we face, and how to use science to maximize impact and better allocate limited resources. Over four episodes, we hosted experiences from partners, experts, and scholars in the field of development. We discussed important concepts such as comprehensive social protection, reducing unemployment, and the impact of social values on employment opportunities for women. Additionally, we presented inspiring models like “Bab Amal | Door of Hope” program.
