Humanitarian Networks & Partnerships Weeks 2024
CHS Alliance is excited to run a series of gatherings at this year’s Humanitarian Networks & Partnerships Week (HNPW).
Over the course of the two-week conference, CHS Alliance will lead the Organisational Culture and Power Relations area of common concern, hosting a range of important sessions on improving accountability across the aid system.
Join us for a series of engaging events on topics ranging from improving investigations into sexual abuse, to addressing the funding challenges that block accountability.
Virtual sessions:
- Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Aid Sector: A Collaborative Approach to SEAH Data Reporting. 30 April 2024, 09.00-10.30 UTC. An interactive session on tackling the under reporting of sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (SEAH) in aid. Learn how the Harmonised Reporting Scheme provides valuable evidence to better prevent and respond to SEAH incidents in the aid sector and within your own organisation.
- Against Impunity: Stepping up collective efforts to investigate Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment, 1 May 2024, 09.00-10.30 UTC. An informative session that looks at how taking a victim/survivor-centred approach to SEAH investigation can improve outcomes, increase accountability and rebuild trust in communities. Hear about CHS Alliance’s initiatives to strengthen global capacity for survivor-centred SEAH investigations, with a particular focus on the Investigation Qualification Training Scheme.
- The Role of Learning and Development in the Future of Humanitarian Responses, 2 May 2024, 08.30-10.00 UTC. An expert panel exploring the role of learning and development (L&D) in enabling the humanitarians of the future. Be part of this session to learn how localisation, decolonisation, climate change, online learning, artificial intelligence and funding pressures will change L&D approaches in the aid sector.
- Breaking Barriers, Building Trust: Redefining PSEAH with a Survivor Focus, 2 May 2024, 12.00-13.30 UTC. An important panel discussion on how to implement taking a victim-centered approach to PSEAH by integrating the perspectives and needs of victims/survivors into PSEAH strategies.
