The arrival of artificial intelligence in the global development and non-profit sectors has sparked a period of intense ethical reflection around what some are calling ‘poverty porn 2.0’. The challenge is not merely technical but fundamental to non-profit mission.
The stagnation in global malaria mortality reduction calls for a re-evaluation of the malaria workforce development models currently deployed in high-burden countries. While biological challenges such as insecticide resistance and parasite mutations are well-documented, a critical bottleneck remains the capacity of the human workforce to implement technical strategies with precision.
The comprehensive policy review by Halima Mwenesi and colleagues “Rethinking human resources and capacity building needs for malaria control and elimination in Africa” argues that the stagnation in global malaria progress is fundamentally a human resources crisis rather than solely a biological or technical failure.
The study by Ayodele Jegede and colleagues “Evaluation of a capacity building intervention on malaria treatment for under-fives in rural health facilities in Niger State, Nigeria” provides a rigorous evaluation of a standard “cascade training” intervention.
A cartography of learning for transformation The Palgrave Handbook of Learning for Transformation offers a sweeping map of the territory of transformative learning. The editors have curated a massive collection of perspectives that stretch the boundaries of the field beyond its traditional roots in the work of Jack Mezirow.
The work of Reda Sadki offers a provocative, often counter-intuitive critique of how we learn, lead, and solve complex problems. Here are five surprising insights about what it takes to create successful learning.
Reda Sadki’s writing explores how systems of learning matter when tackling complex challenges across global health, humanitarian aid, and education. Over twelve years of articles on his blog, he has built a cohesive argument for why our current systems of learning are broken and how we might fix them.
Why learner support is the heart of an effective program If you are designing an online or blended program for busy professionals, the single most powerful lever you control is how you support learners.
How can we use the new physics of digital connections to save lives? What is the future of hybrid engagement? The ultimate test of any digital architecture is whether it can deliver results in the real world.
On 18 September 2025, we first announced our new Certificate peer learning programme for gender in emergencies. The first course, a primer on the topic, then launched on 6 October. As of 21 January 2026, the gender community of The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF) now reaches 6,592 practitioners.
We cannot teleport physical proximity, but we can replicate its psychological effects in remote teams. This has everything to do with propinquity. If the physical world provided connection by accident, the digital world requires connection by design. The most critical loss in the shift to remote work is “propinquity,” a fancy word for physical nearness.
