Saving Lives in a time of Crisis: Why the Global Humanitarian System Matters
An armchair discussion with Mark Lowcock, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator
Humanitarian crises are becoming ever more complex, from the risk of acute famine in Yemen, to the threat of an expanding Ebola outbreak in East Africa, to the continuing instability created by millions of displaced people on the move.
Please join us for an armchair discussion with Mark Lowcock, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator. Mr. Lowcock will outline the key drivers behind both today’s most visible and most neglected humanitarian crises, explore critical challenges to delivering aid to the most vulnerable, and make the case for sustaining support for a strong humanitarian system that can respond to today’s unprecedented circumstances.
This event was made possible through the support of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
