Speakers included staff from international NGOs, academics, voices from civil society, politicians and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of much interest for the subject matter relevant to this blog was the opening \u2018keynote dialogue\u2019 on the current international humanitarian landscape and pressing concerns. The discussion featured Heba Aly, Coordinator for the UN Charter Reform Coalition and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenewhumanitarian.org\/content\/ceo-heba-aly-step-down-new-humanitarian\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">former editor of The New Humanitarian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and Nimo Hassan, Director of the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.somaliangoconsortium.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Somali NGO Consortium<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Their talk largely focused on global governance reform, the challenges facing humanitarian organisations and reimagining crisis response by INGOs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Humanitarian Congress Berlin 2024 - Day 1 - Kleistsaal\" width=\"760\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VXKZcFWqXtM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Humanitarian Congress Stream: Keynote address from Heba Aly and Nimo Hassan starts at 11 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhat do you do when you can\u2019t help everyone?\u201d asked Heba Aly in her opening remarks. \u201cIs the concept of triage the way to proceed?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The backdrop to the discussion was the myriad of challenges facing international humanitarian response, including conflict, growing geo-political tensions and accelerating climate change effects. Added to that are dwindling financial commitments from wealthier nations to international funding appeals. By mid-November, just over 40% of total annual funding required for global crises in 2024 had been met, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fts.unocha.org\/plans\/overview\/2024\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">according to OCHA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aly argued that in a reality where international funding targets for humanitarian crises are consistently not met, an ambitious rethinking of the role of INGOs in crisis response appears necessary. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Aly, humanitarian bodies should move away from simply seeing their response as being supply-driven and recognising that sometimes their most valuable contribution could be to advocate for solutions to the crisis in the first place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMy take is that in an age where there are not nearly enough resources to respond to all these crises&#8230; Instead of constantly playing catch-up or having to make tough triage choices, humanitarians could turn to tools other than humanitarian aid. With a smaller amount of money, you may well have more impact through advocacy about the larger problem, than by saving half of those who need help, in order for them to find themselves back in crisis the next day,\u201d she explained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-252 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/msm24group7\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-21-121617-1024x512.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/msm24group7\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-21-121617-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/msm24group7\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-21-121617-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/msm24group7\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-21-121617-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/msm24group7\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-21-121617-1536x768.png 1536w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/msm24group7\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-21-121617-421x211.png 421w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/msm24group7\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-21-121617.png 1892w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this vision, humanitarian organisations are forced to think more broadly about responses to crises, beyond aid itself. Aly gave the following possible responses: \u201cAmid the Pakistan floods, the best crisis response may have been advocating for debt relief. In DRC, it could be advocating for asylum in Europe. In Gaza, it\u2019s very much a vote at the Security Council.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The operational challenges involved here for a true transformation in the sector; a reorganisation of how INGOs work, and a transition in doing to enabling others to do. \u201cIn the short term, some needs being met by INGOs may not be met, while in the long-term, organising INGOs around being able to enable the response of local communities, I think, will save many more lives,\u201d asserted Aly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHumanitarian principles are a means to an end, they are not an end in themselves\u2026 at the moment, being neutral is not guaranteeing access in a majority of countries\u2026 Counterintuitively, being more political may actually improve humanitarian access in certain crises because it will increase legitimacy, trust and reduce scepticism. In a lot of countries today where local communities are sceptical of aid workers, it is because they don\u2019t see that those aid workers are actually invested in their cause.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Localisation, which has been a topic of conversation in different ways in humanitarian practice for a number of years, also has an important role in this process<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. In essence, localisation advocates for more funding and decision-making power to be centralised in communities in need of a humanitarian response.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Obstacles undoubtedly remain to meaningful implementation. A May 2024 article in the Guardian reported how <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/global-development\/article\/2024\/may\/07\/colonial-mindset-global-aid-agencies-costs-localising-humanitarianism-ngo-\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">just 2.1% of donor money<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> goes to local organisations, either directly or indirectly. As noted earlier, international funding is a wider issue, but is financing of localisation efforts. Localisation is now <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.devex.com\/news\/devex-newswire-the-local-development-organizations-you-need-to-know-about-108751\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">frequently evoked<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in debates around the reimagining of international development, but questions remain, mostly about the extent to which power dynamics (including funding and political support) can, or even should, be transferred within the aid system from north to south. As noted in the new open access book <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/book\/10.1007\/978-3-031-30308-1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Challenging Global Development: Towards Decoloniality and Justice<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">:\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c\u2026localisation itself rests on an implicit binary between northern donors and southern recipients, often involving a poor conceptualisation of the local, and echoing colonial spatial relations and power inequalities.\u201d (Biekart, Camfield, Kothari &amp; Melber, 2024)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, in a field that has long prioritised official impartiality and neutrality, explicit political advocacy comes with its own uncertainties, as several audience members noted, particularly in what they could mean for staff access and security. Major international humanitarian organisations including the ICRC and UN agencies usually carefully adhere to political neutrality publicly, whilst using diplomatic and bilateral connections to progress their operational priorities behind the scenes. Aly agreed that the approach does not have to be adopted by all agencies; it seems there will always be a need for the impartial ICRCs of the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yet Nimo Hassan of the Somali NGO Consortium urged participants at the Congress to reflect on how the international humanitarian system can be reshaped. \u201cWe must position ourselves better and ensure that affected communities remain at the very heart of our response\u2026 People in need, people in crisis, need to be in the centre when and if we are redefining the way we respond.\u201d Such change requires commitment to meaningfully engage in structural change and reimagining power relations in the humanitarian and development sectors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite events like the Humanitarian Congress sometimes appearing as a \u2018talking shop\u2019 in which big structural problems are endlessly debated without tangible outcomes, they also carry a structural weight. This was evidenced by the participation of numerous representatives from the German government, one of the largest humanitarian donors in the world. Whether the suggestions offered by panellists have an effect on implementation by those in positions of authority within humanitarian organisations remains to be seen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Nimo Hassan noted, for communities affected by crises, the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> implications of these discussions are not abstract, but often a matter of life or death.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Melber, H., Kothari, U., Camfield, L., &amp; Biekart, K.
