Скачать или смотреть Behind the UK’s Biggest Emergency Appeals | Saleh Saeed, CEO of Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC)

In this Causes.Show episode, Dave chats with Saleh Saeed, CEO of the Disasters Emergency Committee (the DEC) and a leading figure in the humanitarian sector, to explore how the DEC runs such effective humanitarian emergency appeals - including the record-breaking Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, which raised £445 million for the Ukraine war humanitarian response.

Discover the mechanics and nuances behind some of the largest emergency appeals, including, in the context of Gaza, the Middle East Humanitarian Appeal. Learn about the challenges of launching an appeal, the criteria that the DEC uses to make appeal launch decisions, and why the criteria hasn't yet been met for the Sudan humanitarian crisis.

Saleh shares insights from his journey, from his roots in Yemen where he born on a rooftop under gunfire, to volunteering at Islamic Relief and then going on to become the CEO, to now leading the team at the Disasters Emergency Committee - which brings together 15 leading humanitarian aid organisations in major humanitarian crises to raise hundreds of millions of pounds from the UK public, corporates and government.

Hear Saleh's thoughts on the power of collaboration, leadership lessons, organisational culture, and the future of humanitarian aid in light of global funding cuts.
