How UNICEF uses tech to save lives, with its innovation fund manager Sunita Grote

How can a huge organisation, working at a global level, use technology to save the lives of children? Anne-Marie speaks to UNICEF's innovation fund manager, Sunita Grote, who tells us why developments like blockchain are making it easier to provide humanitarian and developmental aid across the world. She also discusses how the organisation is embracing risk, with the possibility that some of the start-ups it partners with might not be able to deliver what they hope - but that the rewards when it does work can be incredible.
