Keynote Panel: Humanitarian Aid in Peacebuilding
Wednesday April 30, 2025 9:25am - 10:20am BST
Great Hall
This Fireside Chat will examine the challenges and opportunities of delivering humanitarian aid in conflict zones, where immediate relief intersects with long-term peacebuilding. In such environments, aid must go beyond addressing health crises—it must foster stability, build trust, and support the foundations of peace. Experts will discuss how organizations navigate the political, logistical, and security barriers while contributing to global health security and resilience.
