but for the 21st century peacemaking for the ngos. so that is a sampling of the stories. the epilogue i try to draw together each of those five sections talking about strategies when you look at a lot of the leaders like gorbachev was average bureaucrat. franklin roosevelt was a rich wealthy upstate new yorker. and dockworker starting off beer british lawyer so there was no point pointing to individuals so that has certain qualities for the young that is the only way you can say like lebron james coming out of high school. so you can say he really has a great future but we talk about strategy and to adapt to the 21t and to lay them out there are some similarities for those rivalries and the un and human rights and in the epilogue i draw that altogether. towards the end, i come back to where i started which is the reference to kennedy's profiles in courage. and i had a quote it was written in 56 for our everyday life is so saturated with the tremendous of mass communication to political life is so expensive so mechanized and dominated by professional politicians and public

that's private sector, ngo sector, governments and multilateral organizations. and they're addressing the global context of assisting refugees and funneling a lot of funding for innovative programs. what are we doing and what can we do internally in the u.s.? we have people migrating domestically not only from hurricanes like in texas, but also $1.5 million average home price in san francisco and cities like seattle and portland that i've had to leave because i can no longer afford on an ngo salary. what can we do t be proactive about what could happen with a u.s. domestic migration? >> thank you for mentioning the tent foundation. three very good questions. one asking to dive a little bit deeper onheefse development nexus, which is a word i hate, but it's appropriate for this context of what are some examples maybe of how we do that. asking us to double click a little bit on the climate and environmental question,especially as it relates to security and what role the u.s. can play. and then what can we do here in the u.s. to maybe engage the private sector and

ultimately, ngos need governments to change their policies. theun frankly is not very effective in this area , the human rights council is full of its own contradictions about who it focuses on and who its members are. but there is a very important role in 21st-century peacemaking for these ngos. so that gives you a little bit of sampling of the stories. in the epilogue i tried to draw it all together and each of the five seconds i talk about strategies. i don't point individuals. when you look at a lot of these leaders, gorbachev was an average aircraft, franklin roosevelt was you know, a rich, wealthy upstate new yorker.and valencia was a dockworker. donnie started out as a very fancy british suit and tried to read a british lawyer so there's no point in pointing individuals. mandela had a certain quality and maybe the only one you could say he was the lever on james coming out of high school. you could say this person has a great future. what i talk about our strategy that you can learn on the 20th century adapted to the 21st and lay them o

that is smaller than many of the ngos represented in the room today. at that time i was only providing six-month awards at the time. it did not have enough money. by the time i left the budget was a billion. today it's about $2.3 billion. there are more resources available in terms of humanitarian funding. but, i do think there's a need to go beyond the traditional approach to what our lifesaving activity is. there's this arbitrary distinction. as in an immediate crisis we , provided food and water and shelter and sanitation. i think we all recognize that sometimes the most needed assistance in terms of lifesaving might be a book or a teacher or school. that's something i've been pushing my colleagues to do more of in terms of understanding first informant entry and -- understanding first and foremost that even the most vulnerable people are able to actually take care of some of their immediate needs. therefore, there's a real gap sometimes. if it is not just provision of food, because sometimes food aid shows up in the marketplace. people are using th
