The success of humanitarian action relies heavily on the situational knowledge and ‘boots on the ground’ of humanitarian organisations. However, the growing complexity of climate change, migration, and geopolitical instability demands more than immediate relief – it requires sustainable, long-term strategies that build resilience. This session will explore how innovative collaborations between humanitarian organisations, the private sector, and development stakeholders can channel de-risking strategies and investments into fragile communities. By examining where in the value chain different types of capital are most effective, this session will address the effectiveness of aligning roles and responsibilities to maximise impact solutions.
