Working in Exile: How development practitioners will get the job done in the post-pandemic world.

In this season finale of GDP, James Grall joins the conversation about how development practitioners can do what they do best in a challenging post-pandemic world.  Will remote working be part of the equation?  Are there risks of relying remote technology in countries with heavy handed internet surveillance?  Are there opportunities for development scholars and practitioners to get "back in the field".  Now with the war in Ukraine grinding on, what other challenges will continue to unfold for global development going forward?  Don't miss this conversation with James Grall.
