CEO of global development NGO on grassroots trust-building

Kristin Lord, CEO of IREX, and Alex Heath, Edelman’s U.S. Head of Social Impact and Sustainability, discuss how global NGOs can build trust in society from the ground up by partnering with local non-profit organizations, building personal relationships, and reminding people what they have in common with one another. “You need to bring all the right stakeholders in and not just help them get to know each other but make sure they can work together to figure out what they both have in common that they want. The process of figuring that out together will help build trust,” Kristin says.
