Lovely visual recap of the World Summit on Humanitarian Negotiation. A critical moment to connect with frontline negotiators all around the world and learn from their experience and expertise. Extra points if you can spot me in between frames :)

🌍✨ Spotlight on our colleague Joëlle Affolter, who regularly advises development, humanitarian, and peacebuilding actors on conflict sensitivity, adaptive management, and local knowledge ecosystems.   To her profile on our website: https://lnkd.in/d4AZ5r9P 💙   ℹ️ Why #ConflictSensitivity? Operating in complex environments such as conflict regions requires technical expertise, a deep understanding of the conflict context, and the ability to implement activities in a conflict sensitive manner. This minimizes the risks of causing harm while maximizing the potential for positive impact.   Here are some examples of Joëlle's work: 🔎 Conflict sensitive program management in Ukraine: https://lnkd.in/dcrZ-uDD 🔎 Increased community and institutional resilience in Liptako Gourma: https://lnkd.in/dB29fB5C   🚶♀Joëlle brings a wealth of experience to the table, having managed development and humanitarian projects and programs in various post-conflict and fragile contexts.

There’s isn’t a more global – or globally impactful – humanitarian network than the International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC. I’m delighted to be working on my third Global Communications project for the Geneva-based ICRC, as my colleagues prepare for their 34th International Conference. Held roughly every four years in #Geneva, these gatherings are jointly organized by the #ICRC and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC (equal partners in what's known as the RCRC Movement). The International Conferences bring together #RCRC Movement leaders, Member States and Observers from around the world, to assess the most vexing challenges they face amid crises in the field. They then pledge collective and individual actions to overcome those challenges. My project, though, is fascinating for how it explores the past: analyzing the impact of the 33rd International Conference, held in December 2019, whose theme was “Act Today, Shape Tomorrow.” Combing through hundreds of national pledges and other pronouncements, I’m distilling the most meaningful trends of the four years since the last IC, then writing the script for a video that’ll be shown to attendees of the 34th IC, with its theme of “Navigate Uncertainty, Strengthen Humanity.” As a Consultant who on a daily basis helps organizations illuminate their evidence-driven impact, I’m relishing this opportunity to support the ICRC - whose mission is largely "to protect the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflict and other violence and to provide them with assistance." #humanitarian #humanitariancrisis #strategiccommunications #globalcommunications #mjmethod
