With the recent debate around the size of the UK aid budget and major media attention on unfolding humanitarian catastrophes, international aid and development is one of the most significant areas of political debate. We sat down with Baroness Cox who has decades of experience working in this area to hear about her work and how her Christian faith drives and shapes all that she does.

It should be said that this interview features stories of graphic violence and tragedy. Please listen accordingly.

The book mentioned in the interview can be found by it's full title: 'Aiding And Abetting: Foreign Aid Failures and the 0.7% Deception' by Jonathan Foreman.
