Description

‘Climate change’ according to Dr Camelia Dewan, is used as a term to attract donor funding, but to what extent does this funding actually help those in need? In this fascinating episode on the Bengal Delta, we take a deep dive into the world of NGOs and explore how short-term projects in the development industry can have a negative effect on the communities most effected by infrastructure intervention. With microcredits known for their high interest rates, the repayment for these is very high, which can result in social stigmas (and the marrying off of daughters) for the poorest of women who are unable to repay their weekly debts.
