📢 DON'T MISS OUT! Join us for our next Learning Curve event, 'Working across the HDP nexus: How do we move beyond process to real impact?' Book your spot: https://lnkd.in/ekPigt2E While new research highlights pockets of progress in the implementation of humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus approaches, the focus remains too much on high-level planning and processes. Tangible changes in the lives and vulnerabilities of people in fragile contexts are yet to be realised at any real scale. We'll explore critical questions, including: 🎯 Where should efforts be focused to amplify areas of progress? 🔗 What linkages need to be made to connect planning to financing and programming? 🌐 How can international coordination connect with locally led programming 🤝 How can the three systems work across the nexus in challenging contexts? Hear from policy makers and practitioners with experience working on HDP approaches in different contexts and the authors of a new IASC publication, as they share insights and consider solutions towards a future where HDP nexus approaches can deliver more tangible changes for communities. Our speakers: Miguel de Corral | Senior Operations Officer, Fragility, Conflict, and Violence Group, The World Bank Damian Lilly | Independent consultant Vanessa Wyeth | Global Lead for Conflict Prevention, Fragility, and Peacebuilding, UNICEF Carlo Fong Luy | Knowledge Management Officer, UNICEF’s Programme Group Jennifer Doherty, PhD Doherty | Research Fellow, ALNAP This event is part of ‘The Learning Curve’ - a new kind of online event featuring humanitarians from all over the world for opinion, live debate and video reflections.

📖 Is history worth learning from? Yes! As we mark World Tsunami Awareness Day, we can take the lessons from past tsunami humanitarian responses to apply to future disasters such as floods, earthquakes and hurricanes. In assessing past tsunami responses — 2004 Indian Ocean, 2011 Japan, and 2018 Indonesia — the humanitarian sector can identify collective learning gaps, highlight successful strategies, and work together to make the system more resilient.

We are excited to share that today ODI becomes ODI Global! 🌍 Why the name change? Today the world is a very different place compared to when we were first established as the 'Overseas Development Institute' over 60 years ago. As the assumptions and relationships that underpinned the 'development' project are increasingly challenged, we have been rethinking our role as a global think tank set on tackling injustice and inequality. From the climate crisis and conflicts to pandemics and the backlash on rights, today's most critical challenges are all global in nature. A narrow focus on development and humanitarian action alone simply won't address them. That's why we have been on a journey in recent years to become a truly global organisation, committed to igniting new ideas and action to confront these challenges: 🌏 We have launched three new entities - ODI Europe, ODI Global Washington and ODI Global Advisory. 🫱🏼🫲🏿 We have strengthened our engagement at country and grassroots levels. 💡 We have committed to integrating the values of decolonisation across everything we do. Our new name and logo reflects these developments and our future ambitions to deliver innovative, multidisciplinary thinking and transformational change.

Humanitarian 💭 leaders share their thoughts on important role of learning 💬 At a gathering of humanitarian leaders backing Pledge for Change in Nairobi in April, Puji Pujiono, Senior Advisor of the Pujiono Centre Jakarta, said a radical approach into what is considered truth, first and foremost, would be required to build a solid learning foundation. ‘The definition of the truth is being framed and defined by northern norms. How can we bring the knowledge of the humanitarian realities of the Global South to the table?’ explains Puji, who believes the humanitarian narrative had for too long been driven by northern knowledge. #PledgeforChange2030 redefines INGOs’ impact, focused on solidarity, humility, self-determination, and equality. Watch Puji's full interview: https://lnkd.in/eqM5FuzK We, together with the Adeso and Centre for Humanitarian Leadership interviewed eight humanitarian leaders and thinkers from international and national humanitarian organisations to get key insights on the challenges around learning, localisation and decolonisation and the future of the sector.
