Honored to be part 2 impactful sessions at #HCberlin diving into vital topics that impact all facets of our work.
Humanitarian principles serve as a shield, guiding our efforts and protecting communities. Upholding these values fosters a more equitable environment for all.
The core principles that guide humanitarian action don’t always offer neat solutions to complex situations.
This panel discussion delves into the resulting ethical dilemmas, featuring Prof. Marco Sassòli, @and_steinke, Abby Stoddard, @NimoA_Hassan, & Alexandra Rüth as Chair.

"Local actors can't simply shift their projects elsewhere - they have no option but to negotiate for their access, at great personal & organizational risk" - Khalil Karimi, Head of Operations at our local Afghan partner organization RSDO. #HCBerlin #localisation #risksharing

Big questions like "What is the benefit of social media?" "How can and should it be used?" in the closing discussion of the #HCBerlin.
@sharmilahashimi, @LateefJohar Maryna Hovorukhina and Fatouma from @MdM_France offer their answers.
Like it or not, #socialmedia is an indispensable tool for online activism.
Our final panel of the day, featuring @LateefJohar, @SharmilaHashimi, Maryna Hovorukhina and Fatouma Belarbi, will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of social media for activism. #HCBerlin

"While the attention is elsewhere, local actors are continuing. We blame our back donors, but it's not them alone, it's also our own willingness to step back when we need to." - @Badrabela and Nancy Balfour wrapping up the 25th @HumConBerlin. #HCBerlin

Community-led approaches led by local actors have incredible power to lead recovery efforts and can help find durable solutions and build resilient communities despite dwindling support and attention by international actors.-Nannete Antequisa #HCBerlin
The attention-driven humanitarian system has detrimental impacts on crises often labelled “neglected”.
Through a series of presentations, Chair @badrabela, Fatima Khaddour, @Nanet_Antequisa, and Mahamat Moussa Djibert reflect on the #humanitarian attention spiral.

The term „local“ in humanitarian aid tends to be associated with lack of professionalism, lack of accountability, lack of experience. There is no doubt that this is directly related to the colonial notion of salvation, says @FatimaKhaddour at #HCBerlin.

The panel moderated by @Badrabela has local expert panelists drawn from the #Philippines, #Lebanon, and #Chad providing insights and experiences of how local actors despite many challenges, continue to provide assistance to communities in need. #HCBerlin @HumConBerlin
