Join experienced, respected humanitarian leaders and practitioners to gain a critical understanding of the nexus between humanitarian assistance, long-term development cooperation and political engagement. How can this nexus lead to a reduction in fragility and need with sustainable and equitable development? You will examine joint analysis of vulnerabilities and risks, the need to focus on the most vulnerable areas and populations, shared objectives, coordinated action, the role of regular monitoring and evaluation and the central role of affected communities in holding agencies to account.
