Direct by default: the most efficient way to do humanitarian assistance 

The CALP Network is conveying an exceptional panel of senior representatives from the UN, donors, philanthropy, local NGOs and INGOs who will issue a joint call to action.

The event will:

• Set out the case for placing cash at the centre of the humanitarian reset – with locally led cash as the ultimate ambition.
• Build momentum for a renewed, collective commitment to cash in the challenging years ahead.

Panellists:   

• Tom Fletcher, ERC (invited)
• Jan Egland, Secretary General, Norwegian Refugee Council
• Member of the NEAR Network
