Episode 6: Global Quality Education to Advance Gender Equality

Over the years, education has focused on access and parity – closing the enrollment gap between girls and boys – while insufficient attention has been paid to retention and achievement, and the quality and relevance of education. Providing quality and relevant education not only leads to improved enrollment and retention, but also helps to ensure everyone is able to fully realize the benefits of education. Join us for a discussion on how GlobalWA members define quality education and how their education programs advance gender equality.

Episode 8: A Conversation with Isam Ghanim, President and CEO of ChildFund

In this episode, we hear from Isam Ghanim. Originally from Sudan, Isam’s journey to his role as President and CEO of ChildFund is a 360-degree experience within the humanitarian sector.

Starting in academia in Sudan, he was recruited by CARE Sudan to help with their development and humanitarian efforts there, and then later in Somalia and India. After 21 years at CARE he became President of Search for Common Ground to lead peace-building efforts, and in March of 2022 started his new role at ChildFund.

Of his appointment, Lyn McDermid, ChildFund's Board chair stated “He was a standout among the 100-plus candidates we considered, with his remarkable breadth of experience, diverse contributions, already-established credibility within ChildFund, and the unprecedented growth he led at Search for Common Ground.”

Isam talks about why and how they work with their 169 local partners across 24 countries; the crisis in the Horn of Africa where 19m are experiencing food insecurity and children are the most vulnerable, and how ChildFund is providing solutions and assistance to create better resilience; as well as how ChildFund engages in advocacy for child welfare locally and at the global level.

Kristen Dailey, Executive Director of Global Washington, interviewed Isam in September of 2022.
