As the humanitarian and development communities prepare for the world humanitarian summit in Istanbul, what ideas are formulating across government, private sector, multilaterals, NGOs, civil society organisations and all the other humanitarian actors around the world? Will the ideas from both humanitarian and development landscapes converge to achieve the ambition of the SDG agenda and change the way we respond to humanitarian situations?
Justine Greening has said that our country “has bold ambitions” for thesummit and the UK government is preparing to update the UK’s humanitarian policy which aims to save lives, prevent suffering and build resilience. The government has asked six key questions relating to:
- Humanitarian principles and law
- International humanitarian architecture
- Risk and resilience
- Protracted crises
- UK humanitarian response
- Any other suggestions
With 24 hours to go before this consultation closes, we know what our contributions are and will share them later this week. Do you?

Ongoing crises can leave countries and communities fragile and unstable. We work with risk-prone countries to protect their citizens and build resilience, providing a bridge between humanitarian response and transforming the institutions that support stability and a foundation for prosperity.
