Crisis realities

Humanitarian responses are enacted by (emerging) crises, deteriorating conflicts, war, and disasters. They may be more acute and visible, or in contexts that have faded from the attention of the public and the international community. Each response comes with challenges and bottlenecks, such as humanitarian access, assessing the most urgent needs, and exploring how international actors can best support local partners. These need to be situated within the broader political context, including recent regional and global developments. Understanding context-specific developments through situational reports and conversation supports humanitarian and policy response. 

In the fast-changing world of crisis response, KUNO provides a space where actors can come together to share information on emergent crises, build connections and explore potential solutions. Meetings on crisis realities are organised on an ad hoc basis, bringing together a wide range of humanitarian actors, including local responders, diaspora and representatives from government, (international) NGOs, UN agencies and academia.
