While the sector is buzzing with conversations on ‘the humanitarian reset’, ‘radical change’ and ‘new humanitarianism’, questions arise on what exactly is being reset and who is meaningfully involved in reimaging and shaping this sector’s future.
In , civil society representatives and networks emphasise the need to move beyond small fixes. Instead, they call for a bold, principled transformation that shifts power, resources, and decision-making to local and national actors who are closest to the communities we aim to support, accelerating what has been slow progress in the decade since the World Humanitarian Summit. While it’s clear that meaningful transformation will have to be grounded in frontline realities, conversations and consultations on the reset continue to largely center around voices in New York, Geneva and capital cities.
In this session organised by KUNO and Oxfam, two speakers will share their priorities for a truly inclusive, locally-led and fit-for-purpose humanitarian system, including the importance of strengthening and reimagining existing locally-led networks and the changing role of international NGOS.
