"Challenges for International Peace, Development and Humanitarian Assistances”

The abrupt suspension of U.S. funding for international aid programs under the Trump administration triggered a major shock, resulting in workforce and activity reductions of around 30% in key UN humanitarian agencies. In addition to such immediate challenges, it is also essential to address structural issues. To respond to the growing structural gaps between international aid and armed conflict, humanitarian crises, and development needs, there is a long-term necessity to rethink not only the implementation methods of international peace and aid efforts, but also their funding mechanisms.

As part of a broader attempt to reassess contemporary international peace operations and humanitarian-development assistance, this study group meeting aims to share key concerns and facilitate discussion with a speaker who has extensive on-the-ground experience in emergency humanitarian relief.
