In a series of audio interviews, Jonathan Tanner asks participants from CAPE 2012 - 'Old puzzles, new pieces: development cooperation in tomorrow’s world' - to reflect on some of the key issues explored during the conference.
From the rise of China and Brazil to game changing models of global philanthropy, person-to-person giving and social impact investment, the community of actors engaged in development cooperation is evolving.
