At a time of escalating conflicts, growing displacement, shrinking resources, and increasing impunity, the Commission calls for a new paradigm for the humanitarian sector. It sets out bold and practical recommendations to rethink how humanitarian health responses are designed, governed, and delivered in some of the world’s most challenging settings.
The Commission brings together global leaders, experts and persons with lived experience who are committed to confronting and reshaping the humanitarian system. Its work seeks to challenge existing power structures in humanitarian health, influence global policy and practice, and amplify the voices of people affected by conflict and displacement.
This launch event will provide an opportunity to engage directly with Commissioners and NextGen Scholars and explore the report’s key findings and recommendations. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the implications for humanitarian policy, practice, and partnerships in the years ahead.
