Rushanara Ali was for some years a director of the Young Foundation, focussing on research and international work. This is an organization dedicated to developing social innovations, and the international side involves creating links between individuals and organizations working in social development in lots of different countries. This would seem to me to be excellent experience for a post in international development.

She also worked for the Foreign Office, with regard to human rights:
again useful experience.

One could perhaps argue that Ali has limited experience *as an MP* - she was only elected in May - but I would say that her pre-political experience is unusually impressive: in general, and with regard to international development issues in particular.
