Panel sessions
The EHF 2024 panel sessions will consist of moderated discussions among the wider humanitarian- development community, including EU institutions, EU Member States, third countries, partner organisations, local humanitarian actors, UN agencies, the Red Cross/Red Crescent family and academics.
Humanitarian Talks
Humanitarian Talks provide a space for discussion running in parallel with the EHF panels and an opportunity for focused exchange on concrete deliverables as well as on more specific humanitarian issues and crises that will not be addressed in the EHF24 panel sessions.
Humanitarian Talks complement the EHF programme with hands-on discussions, which reinforce the
“concrete delivery” aspect of the Forum. Proposed and led by partners and Member States, they offer an
alternative platform for humanitarian stakeholders to contribute and thematically complement the core
agenda of the event.
The Talks will showcase initiatives and discussions driven by partners, Member States and practitioners.

Geo example: Yemen
Humanitarian workers put their lives on the line to help those most in need. Yet, many of them continue to face alarming levels of violence, as well as ongoing challenges to security, safety and access. While the humanitarian community and donors have increased protection of aid workers, more still needs to be done. The panel reflects on the state of play of the security of aid workers, including local actors, featuring the example of Yemen. It will present initiatives and tools addressing prevention, advocacy on IHL and principled aid, and response. It aims to promote dialogue on how donors can strengthen the safety and security of aid workers in armed conflicts.
The session is moderated by Christina Wille.
