'What does the future of humanitarian aid look like from the vantage point of the UN’s emergency aid chief, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths? It includes greater political advocacy by humanitarians; a focus on resolving – rather than just responding to – conflicts; and better listening to those people receiving aid. What he hopes it won’t include, Griffiths said in a wide-ranging interview with The New Humanitarian’s Rethinking Humanitarianism podcast, is another Briton named to head up the UN’s emergency aid coordination body, OCHA.'
