"When people look back on our time they will wonder why we tolerated refugee camps for so long.” Owen Barder, Vice President at the Center for Global Development, talks in this episode about why we should abolish refugee camps, and what’s wrong with the humanitarian aid system more broadly. Barder talks about the alternatives to keeping displaced people in camps, and how to make the humanitarian system more simple, more focused, and serve the interests of displaced people receiving aid, rather than those providing it.  Displaced is produced by the Vox Media Podcast Network in partnership with the International Rescue Committee.  Find our show notes here: www.rescue.org/displaced Email us at displaced@rescue.org Learn more about your ad choices.
