Last week, JOA's Executive Director, Ed Lewis was a panellist at this hybrid event hosted by @UNOCHA & @globalcitieshub. It was a great opportunity to profile JOA's longstanding commitment to Pooled Fund mechanisms and highlight our role as UNOCHA PFWG co-chairs with @ItalyUN_NY
Local & regional authorities play a growing role in humanitarian responses, yet their support often goes unrecognized.
Today, @UNOCHA & @globalcitieshub gathered leaders to strengthen partnerships and address changing humanitarian landscapes.
Together, we #InvestInHumanity.
