Halima Begum outlines her vision for what she sees as a ‘broken model’, with more power over spending given directly to the affected communities

The outdated, elite-dominated international charity sector needs to hand over the money and power to those in the global south for whom aid is intended, says the head of Oxfam GB, Halima Begum.

The current aid system is broken, Begum says, and can only be fixed by decolonising, shifting the centre of control away from rich countries with colonial legacies to the developing countries.
