World Humanitarian Summit: Outcomes and Reflections
Update: 2016-06-29
Description
The World Humanitarian Summit (WHS) convened 9,000 representatives from humanitarian agencies, governments, crisis-affected communities, and the private sector. Driven by a consensus that the current humanitarian system is unable to cope with the intensifying needs of populations affected by conflict and disaster, the WHS aimed to take stock of the achievements and failed interventions of a sector confronted with rapidly evolving challenges and recommit stakeholders to the foundational principles of humanitarian assistance, protection, and institutional reform. Speakers: Christina Bennett, ODI; Dr. Martin Barber, Special Advisor to OCHA on WHS; Hugo Slim, Head of Policy, ICRC, James Munn, Head of Policy, NRC; Raphael Gorgeu, Director of Partnership and Policy, ICVA.
