RedR Talk: Understanding the State of the Humanitarian System
Friday 13 November • 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM GMT
Overview
Explore ALNAP’s State of the Humanitarian System (SOHS) Report, the humanitarian sector’s leading independent assessment of how the global humanitarian system is performing.
The humanitarian system is not facing a temporary funding dip. It is becoming permanently smaller. What does that mean for local actors, humanitarian organisations and the people they serve?
Join ALNAP, Sphere and RedR for a practical, interactive discussion drawing on the latest State of the Humanitarian System report.
Together, we will examine the difficult choices now facing the sector: which functions, programmes and quality safeguards must be protected; what risks being lost as budgets shrink; and what organisations may need to stop doing.
We will also explore what this shift means for locally led action and the capabilities practitioners and organisations will need to operate effectively in a smaller, changing humanitarian system.
Come prepared to contribute: what should be the last things to go when funding contracts, and where does the sector need to make genuinely different choices?
Who should attend?
- Local and national humanitarian organisation leaders
- Programme managers and technical advisers
- Independent humanitarian consultants
- Early-career professionals and students seeking to understand sector change
