MARK YOUR CALENDARS: THE COUNTDOWN TO WHS HAS STARTED!
278 days to the first-ever World Humanitarian Summit!
Behind us: 2 years, 8 regional consultations, and over 23,000 people consulted in 153 countries.
Before us: just 278 days to propose some bold changes for humanitarian action.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said:
“The rise of global humanitarian action is one of humanity’s greatest moral achievements.
Today our goal is a world where every woman, man and child in need can receive some form of assistance and protection from the impacts of disaster, conflict, displacement, hunger or disease.
This world is now within our grasp. Together we can make this vision a reality.”
This world is possible. The road to Istanbul 2016 is still being paved.
