Reimagining aid in the digital age
The 2023 Global Humanitarian Assistance report highlights the urgent need for humanitarian aid, with over 400 million people worldwide requiring assistance annually due to forced displacement, armed conflict, food insecurity, natural disasters, and health crises persist at record levels.
Addressing the needs of vulnerable communities, including disproportionately affected groups such as women and refugees, is paramount. However, achieving efficient, impactful, and inclusive aid amid growing budget constraints presents a pressing challenge for aid organisations and their partners.
To understand this dynamic humanitarian landscape and advance a global conversation on the way forward, Devex and Visa surveyed nearly a thousand aid professionals and conducted in-depth interviews with thought leaders and implementers. The resulting report, “Reimagining aid in the digital age: Building global capabilities to serve local needs,” explores the importance of prioritizing beneficiaries, providing choices based on local contexts, and fostering resilience and diverse partnerships for effective interventions.
This event hosted by Devex in partnership with Visa marks the launch of the report. Register to dive into the key findings and recommendations, as well as discuss humanitarian aid delivery challenges, best practices, and trends.
Speakers
Alan Robbins, executive vice president of partnerships, Devex, will open the event and offically launch the report and explore its key findings.
