The primary UN global coordination forum, bringing together UN and non-UN humanitarian partners, to better prepare for and respond to humanitarian crises.
Humanitarian reform must ultimately be measured by how well we serve people affected by crises.
With Member States & fellow @iascch leaders, we discussed how strong partnerships & investment in essential services can ensure life-saving assistance reaches those who need it most.
Privileged to join @iascch Principals to address some of the most pressing challenges facing the humanitarian system.
Discussions focused on strengthening resource mobilization, advancing effective responses to displacement & addressing evolving situations, incl Ebola response.
SNC Director @NimoA_Hassan, joined humanitarian leaders in advancing the Humanitarian Reset, strengthening local leadership, accountability, and more effective humanitarian assistance for people in crisis.
Guided by humanitarian principles, united by a shared responsibility: to deliver better, faster assistance for people in crisis. The ERC brought together #IASC leaders: UN, NGOs, and the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to drive the #HumanitarianReset.
🙏@UNFPA for hosting.
The @iascch stands for humanitarian delivery. We’re turning the Humanitarian Reset into action – prioritizing, shifting power to local responders and making tough choices on who is best placed to deliver lifesaving support.
Practical discussion in new format between Ambassadors of top donors and leaders of humanitarian community. Sharp focus on reality of growing humanitarian needs, next steps on Humanitarian Reset, and how donors can reform too.

The ERC convened humanitarian leaders and the top 15 GHO donors for 2026 to advance the #HumanitarianReset: align funding with collective country-level priorities, back actors better placed to deliver, and protect enablers. The goal: better, faster aid for people we serve.
Hosting leaders of the @iascch at @UNFPA this week as we reshape humanitarian action & push forward to deliver for people in crisis.
We’re committed to building a humanitarian system that is more focused, efficient & locally-led, anchored in shared principles & accountability.
The Humanitarian Reset must help us deliver better for people in crisis.
With @iascch Principals and humanitarian donors, we discussed what that takes: complementarity, local leadership, the right financing and critical enablers like data to guide decisions and measure progress.
This week with @UN leaders, @iascch Principals and humanitarian donors, we discussed how the Humanitarian Reset can deliver better for people in crisis: greater complementarity, stronger local leadership, the right financing and better use of data. With needs at unprecedented levels, we must mobilize more resources and ensure they reach the people who need them most.
The Emergency Relief Coordinator brought together humanitarian leaders from #IASC, hosted by @UNFPA, to take stock of the #HumanitarianReset: where we are making progress and where we need to push harder.
The test: faster, fairer, more accountable aid for people in crisis.
Briefed Ambassadors of G77 + China group in New York.
We discussed crises pushing 87m people to edge, unacceptable attacks on aid workers, and the transparency that must underpin everything we do, including OCHA's next Strategic Plan. Thanks @UruguayONU for leading the exchange.
Today marks my first day as @WFP Executive Director.
It’s an honor to join the lifesaving work of this organization and the people behind it.
Ending hunger takes all of us. And I’m ready to get to work.

Busy day of discussions and media in London.
Big focus on next steps to reach 87m people with lifesaving support this year, plus humanitarian diplomacy on Sudan, Somalia, Middle East, Yemen, El Niño.
Excellent to meet UK Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband in London to discuss how we are future proofing the humanitarian sector to continue saving millions of lives. Thanks to UK for support and partnership.
In northern Ethiopia, our teams are working to get life-saving food, health and other help to people in need. Fighting continues to harm and displace civilians, drive up needs and disrupt our work. All parties must give aid workers safe and rapid access.
"The UN is under sustained attack, the values that forged us feel like they're dying...with that war time generation."
UN Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher says now is the time for 'moral ambition' in leadership, particularly when 'the public square is dominated by weak, insecure figures'.
