Last day to register! ⏰ Our webinar on NCDs in humanitarian settings is happening tomorrow. This is your last chance to join this crucial discussion which explores setting research priorities for non-communicable diseases in humanitarian crises, specifically focused on cardio-metabolic syndrome (CMS). During the event, you will hear about the CMS, a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart diseases, stroke and type 2 diabetes. You will also hear about the prioritised research questions, which are intended to guide researchers, humanitarian practitioners and funding agencies in deepening their understanding of context-specific needs regarding the management of #NCDs.     Join us tomorrow, 4 September 2024 at 2:00PM BST and be part of this vital conversation.  🔴 Secure your spot now: https://bit.ly/3Lefcqf #HumanitarianAid #NCDResearch #GlobalHealth

Since we began in 2009, we have championed research and innovation as a driver for change in the humanitarian sector.  “The world has never been a more dangerous and frightening place for millions of the most vulnerable people in our communities. Developing research that helps to understand humanitarian challenges better and provide solutions that will enable those most affected by crises to be safe, secure and to uphold their rights, has never been more important.  This is an exciting time to join Elrha as we enter our new strategic period (2023-2040). We are looking for a CEO who can bring senior-level global expertise and lead Elrha in achieving our new ambitious vision.” - Dr Jane Cocking, Chair of Elrha’s Board of Trustees.  Full description of the role and our CEO Candidate Pack here: https://bit.ly/4708sXm We’re accepting applications on a rolling basis until Monday 23 September 2024 at 17:00 GMT. #HumanitarianJobs #CareerOpportunities #Elrha #CharityJobs #UKAidJobs #LeadershipRole

As the world prepares for World Water Week 2024, we're sharing a playlist highlighting our work in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH). Why WASH? Limited access to clean water and poor sanitation are major drivers for the spread of diseases – a critical challenge during crises. Women and girls are particularly affected by a lack of well-designed latrines and access to safe water. There is still much work to be done. Explore our WASH video playlist that includes projects and research studies addressing key challenges with innovative solutions to drive progress in humanitarian #WASH response.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and this is even higher in countries experiencing crisis. Despite this, NCDs have received limited attention in humanitarian response efforts. The ability to respond to chronic disease in crisis settings is not well established, with access to care often inadequate and frequently disrupted. Since 2014, Elrha has contributed to strengthening the evidence base by funding numerous studies using rigorous research methods to address the high burden of NCDs in humanitarian settings. Our work tackles critical problems for #NCDs in humanitarian settings by building a consensus-based research agenda and increasing the evidence-base for effective interventions.

MEET THE SPEAKERS 🎤 On 4 September 2024, R2HC’s latest report: “Research Priorities for Non-Communicable Diseases in Humanitarian Crises: Focus on Cardio-Metabolic Syndrome” will be launched in collaboration with American University of Beirut-Beirut and International Rescue Committee. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major global health challenge, causing 74% of global mortality. However, the evidence base on effective interventions for NCDs in humanitarian contexts is weak. This event will bring together researchers, practitioners, and patient communities to discuss key findings and implications of the report. This research priority setting exercise aims to address this gap, with a focus on cardio-metabolic syndrome. Our presenters and panelists have backgrounds in NCD in crisis research, practice and with lived experience: 🟣 Philippa Boulle, Non-Communicable Diseases Advisor; Chronic Disease Team Leader, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) 🟣 Chaza Akik, Consultant Investigator, American University of Beirut (AUB) 🟣 Dr Lilian Kiapi, Co-Principal Investigator, International Rescue Committee (IRC) 🟣 Bayard Roberts, Professor of Health Systems & Policy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) 🟣 Mohammed Seyam, Gazan medical doctor, NCDs in crises advocate, Young leader in diabetes 🟣 Mesfin Teklu T., Senior Director, Health Unit, IRC Join us to explore the NCD research agenda for the next decade. 🗓️ September 4, 2024 🕣 2:00 - 3:30 PM BST 📍 Online via Zoom 🔗 Register here: https://bit.ly/3Lefcqf

Revolutionising humanitarian innovation: Introducing the Community-Led Innovation Partnership (CLIP). The CLIP supports the creation, scaling, or adoption of locally-driven solutions identified and designed by people affected by crises and is actively pushing to realise humanitarian responses that meet existing humanitarian needs in a dignified, sustainable, efficient, and effective way. Operating in the Philippines, Guatemala, South Sudan and Indonesia, the CLIP is demonstrating the power of locally-driven solutions in crisis-affected regions. The approach integrates flexible experimentation, adaptive learning, and financial and non-financial support from global partners to drive sustainable, context-specific innovations. The impact? A shift towards community problem-solving, enhanced local innovation capacity, and improved relevance of humanitarian interventions. Interested to learn more?
