Navigating Change Learning Stream

ICVA and PHAP conducted their fourth online Learning Stream “Navigating Change” on 8 November 2018. The stream provides a platform for the NGO community to better understand changes affecting the humanitarian sector. It creates a space for the broader humanitarian community to come together and discuss these changes, learn from one another, and share solutions.

This Learning Stream provides NGO staff, including field, policy and headquarter staff an opportunity to:

• have an overview on the global-level policy discussions on humanitarian action;
• explore the avenues available for humanitarian actors to engage in policy discussions at global, regional and country levels;
• understand what such a changing landscape means for them;

• hear from different actors working on these issues on how to build synergies;
• understand the challenges, the risks and opportunities for principled and effective humanitarian action, especially at the country and regional levels;
• become acquainted with the efforts underway to help NGOs and other actors navigate change;
• share lessons learned, best practices from different contexts with the wider NGO and humanitarian community.

The “Navigating Change” Learning Stream includes a series of three webinars as listed below as well as briefing papers and other resources.

1. Localization: Perspectives of Change
2. How do NGOs navigate the shrinking civil society space?
3. Inclusion of persons with disabilities in humanitarian action: What next after the guidelines?
