For 50 years the World Economic Forum (WEF) has been a venue for the world’s political and business leaders, but increasingly, the big humanitarian aid agencies go to Davos, too.

For this edition of The Swiss Connection’s Inside Geneva series, we’ve been talking to humanitarian leaders to find out why Davos is important for them.
