Open up Forum 2023 with this session featuring Sarah Charles, USAID’s Assistant to the Administrator overseeing the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance. Sarah will offer her distinct insights into the dynamic landscape of global humanitarian efforts amidst rapid change.

In the face of mounting challenges from both the climate crisis and prolonged conflicts, coupled with evolving funding mechanisms for international responses, a new paradigm has emerged. This reality poses an increasingly intricate puzzle for donors and responders alike. While there is widespread consensus on the need to enhance the efficiency and accountability of the humanitarian ecosystem, the pressing question remains: How can we collectively forge ahead at the necessary pace?

The discussion will be facilitated by Abby Maxman, CEO of Oxfam America and Chair of the InterAction Board.
