Turkey and Syria earthquake: evidence-based innovations and guidance for acute crisis response.

We are Elrha, a force for change in the humanitarian community. The research and innovation we support equips the humanitarian community with the knowledge of what works, so people affected by crises get the right help when they need it most.
Our purpose is clear: to empower the humanitarian community to improve humanitarian response. We make this happen by supporting and championing the outcomes of robust research and proven innovations.
We empower the humanitarian community. Find out how we can support you...

As part of this year’s Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks (HNPW) we are hosting a hybrid panel discussion to share and discuss findings from our latest initiative, the Global Prioritisation Exercise (GPE), which maps and analyses humanitarian research and innovation actors, as well as outputs and investments that have been undertaken in the last five years. 

Humanitarian needs are rising rapidly, and funding is not keeping up. In 2022, 274 million people will need humanitarian assistance and protection, that’s one in 29 people. With needs growing, it is more important than ever that spending on humanitarian research and innovation (R&I) strategies are as impactful as possible.

Following on from the 2017 inaugural Global Mapping Report which revealed that most innovation grants went to practitioners in high-income countries (HIC), far from where humanitarian needs are, the panel will explore and discuss what has changed in the last five years.

THE PANEL WILL DISCUSS: 

  • Who determines which crises gets more R&I funding over others?
  • How well are research and innovation currently financed? Is it enough and is it fair?
  • How much is being invested and distributed in relation to humanitarian needs?
  • How does the R&I funding culture affect the humanitarian system? 

SPEAKERS

Our panel will feature individuals from the academic, humanitarian and funding spaces, including:  

  • Mark Bowden, Chair of the GPE Reference Group and Senior Research Associate with the Humanitarian Policy Group, Overseas Development Institute
  • Jess Camburn, CEO, Elrha  
  • Samer Jabbour, Professor of Public Health Practice at the American University of Beirut’s Faculty of Health Sciences
