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.
Recorded Humanitarian Talk, Organised by : Plan International
Geo examples: Myanmar, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, India
This session aims to reignite global attention on the protracted Rohingya crisis, with special emphasis on the scarcity of humanitarian funding. It links discussions with outcomes from the 2023 Global Refugee Forum and explores advocacy strategies for policy shifts in host countries. Focused on Myanmar as the root cause of the crisis, as well as Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia and India, the session discusses sustainable solutions, alternative approaches to detention centres and policy alternatives to deportation. Key questions include addressing the Rohingya crisis amidst other global crises, integrating development funding and triggering policy shifts through robust advocacy.
The session will be moderated by Ali Al-Jaberi.
