Panel 1: Transformation Through Humanitarian Innovation and Private Sector Engagement

This panel brings leaders from the humanitarian community together to discuss the term “humanitarian innovation” and the need for universally held definitions and objectives. Panelists will assess progress that has been made thus far in humanitarian innovation and overcoming barriers or challenges that hinder the international humanitarian system’s ability to consistently adapt and improve.
