The report: Make or break – the implications of Covid-19 for crisis financing
NRC commissioned this study to reflect on what the Covid-19 pandemic response tells us about the fitness of the international crisis financing system. Crises provide moments of opportunity for policymakers. Ideas that were once politically inconceivable become mainstream, forgotten policy proposals are revisited and neglected issues are suddenly prioritised.
The webinar: 15 September at 15:00 to 16:30 PM CEST. NRC and PHAP are organising a webinar to discuss the main findings and recommendations emerging from NRC's report.
They will be joined by Jan Egeland, NRC Secretary General; Mark Lowcock, Emergency Relief Coordinator; Susanne Mikhail, Head of Humanitarian Aid at Sida; Hibak Kalfan, Director of the NEAR Network; and, Ben Parker, Senior Editor at The New Humanitarian. The panel will be moderated by Angharad Laing (Executive Director, PHAP) and will engage in a discussion on the role and fitness of the existing humanitarian financing structure and on how the system should evolve to be able to respond to crises of this complexity.

About this Event
COVID-19 has now been recognised as a threat to international peace and security as the United Nations Security Council unanimously passes a resolution that calls for a global "immediate cessation of hostilities." This is a recognition of the complex impacts that COVID19 is having in conflict zones around the world.
Whilst international aid workers, journalists and diplomats head back to their home countries due to the pandemic, what is happening to those living through both COVID-19 and conflict?
With the disruption of humanitarian supply chains and the distraction away from peace negotiations, civilians caught in the midst of armed conflict, and refugees and displaced people fleeing violence will bear the brunt of the health emergency.
Join us on World Humanitarian Day as we explore the current and potential impacts of the health crises on conflict.
This is the final session of the No Safe Space: Crisis response in COVID-19 four-part online forum series co-presented by the Centre for Humanitarian Leadership (CHL), Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) and Humanitarian Advisory Group (HAG).
You can stream all events from the No Safe Space series on YouTube, including the last session: Dealing with a Double Disaster: What happens when disaster strikes during a pandemic?.
