The event is intended for a broad range of stakeholders: Humanitarian Coordinators and Humanitarian Country Teams, IASC member organizations, UN agencies, funds and programmes, international and national NGOs, donor representatives, Member States, research and policy institutions, and partners involved in humanitarian reform.
Event description:
This session will present the synthesis of findings from Inter-Agency Humanitarian Evaluations (IAHEs), commissioned by the IAHE Steering Group to distill key insights from seven evaluations conducted across nine humanitarian crisis contexts. The synthesis provides a clear and accessible overview of existing evidence, highlighting issues of strategic relevance for the international humanitarian system. It offers a meta-analysis of recurring themes, identifying systemic strengths, persistent challenges, and patterns that warrant collective attention, and proposes system-wide recommendations.
The publication of this synthesis comes at a pivotal moment, as the humanitarian system undergoes significant shifts in structure, policy, and operating environments. Ensuring that these changes are grounded in robust evidence is essential. The session will include a presentation of the main findings and a discussion of their implications for system-wide learning and reform.
The event will be chaired by George Conway (Humanitarian Coordinator, Somalia) and will feature an opening message by Joyce Msuya (Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator), a presentation by James Darcy (Synthesis Author), and reflections from senior humanitarian leaders (TBC).
