Ian Shapiro, CEO, Reall

<p>We’re joined by Ian Shapiro, a true force in international development and CEO of Reall, an NGO revolutionising affordable housing across Africa and Asia.</p><p>Ian’s work at Reall isn’t just about buildings; it’s about dignity, jobs, clean water, sanitation, and long-term sustainability for millions of people. Before Reall, Ian’s impact spanned continents: He ran a youth organisation in Nepal, he shaped UK development programmes in India, he led DFID’s global strategy for private investment, and, he managed a <em>£1 billion</em> development fund. From government halls to grassroots partnerships, Ian’s seen what it <em>really</em> takes to drive lasting change. We talk: Why housing is the backbone of development and the power of public-private partnerships. </p><p><br /></p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
