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...

About the event

As part of this year’s Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks (HNPW) we will be hosting a hybrid event to share emerging findings from our flagship initiative, the Global Prioritisation Exercise (GPE).   

A recent analysis revealed that global spending on research and innovation (R&I) remains low, with a lack of coordination in aligning funding to the most pressing issues. To address these challenges, we have launched a series of consultations, as part of the GPE, with a diverse range of stakeholders, including humanitarian practitioners, R&I actors, and funders working at the global, regional, national, and community levels to zoom in on different crises and draw insights into priorities. Informed by the findings from the multi-level global consultations, the event will explore issues and challenges confronting the sector, including:  

  • consideration of who has a seat at the decision-making table  
  • factors influencing priority-setting decisions   
  • why some issues and crises receive disproportionately more R&I attention than others.   

Speakers

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

Chair:

Discussants:

  • Marian Abouzeid, Senior Research Fellow  at the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation, Deakin University
  • Mark Bowden, Chair of the GPE Reference Group and Senior Research Associate with the Humanitarian Policy Group, Overseas Development Institute
  • Jess Camburn, CEO, Elrha
  • Anton Shevchenko, Independent Consultant

More panellists to be confirmed. 

Panellists will consider ways to overcome key challenges and how to transform the R&I sector to improve efficiency, equity and best inform humanitarian action.
