CHAtroom #17: Prioritisation in humanitarian action

Funding for humanitarian aid is decreasing and the funding gap is at a historic high. At the same time needs are forecasted to further rise by conflict and climate change. This has sparked an international debate on prioritisation. Hugo Slim, Oxford University, has shared highly controversial ideas how donors could refocus their aid. In this podcast Ralf Südhoff discusses with the former ICRC Head of Policy, why he believes political angles, proximity and good governance should become criteria for the allocation of humanitarian aid, even if this contradicts its principles to be neutral, impartial and independent.

CHAtroom #16: European humanitarian aid and the upcoming elections

Why might the forecasted right populist swing at the European elections be no problem for humanitarian aid? Which other major challenges needs Europe to fix to substantially change its aid approach, and to ensure its fragile financial support? And why does he regret to have not moved reform in a different, more “dictatorship like” style? Former Director General Michael Köhler of DG ECHO shares provocative views on the upcoming European elections, the need for humanitarian reform and his legacy after he retired from 30 years engagement in international affairs in a CHAtroom interview with CHA director Ralf Südhoff.
