The global consultation for the World Humanitarian Summit is being held from 14-16th October in Geneva, Switzerland.
The World Humanitarian Summit is an initiative of the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and managed by UN OCHA. The first global summit on humanitarian action of this size and scope, it will be held in Istanbul on 23 - 24 May 2016 and will bring together governments, humanitarian organisations, people affected by humanitarian crises and new partners including the private sector to propose solutions to the most pressing challenges and set an agenda to keep humanitarian action fit for the future.
The goal of this summit is to bring the global community together to commit to new ways of working together to save lives and reduce hardship around the globe. Building a more inclusive and diverse global humanitarian system with a strong commitment to humanitarian principles is at the heart of the initiative.
The World Humanitarian Summit consultations are a two year process leading up to the summit in 2016, they aim to build a more inclusive and diverse humanitarian system by bringing all key stakeholders together to share best practices and find innovative ways to make humanitarian action more effective.
Four broad themes are being discussed in the consultations leading up to the summit and at the summit itself:
- Humanitarian effectiveness
- Reducing vulnerability and managing risk
- Transformation through innovation
- Serving the needs of people in conflict
Everyone is welcome to participate in the online consultations and views as to how humanitarian action would be most effective are encouraged. Particularly as humanitarian needs are ever changing in the world and there is no single way to tackle the challenge.
