What is Engine 2? A new model of response to aid in Ukraine

In our first podcast, listen to Save the Children UK's Gareth Owen in conversation with Pawel Mania. Gareth sets out the vision behind the DEC-funded programme Engine 2 - and how progressive localisation and local solutions will build the most agile response model in Ukraine.
