Location: Zoom
Pearl Initiative’s Governance in Philanthropy Programme, in collaboration with UN OCHA, invites you to a virtual discussion on how Gulf philanthropy can engage more effectively within the global humanitarian system.
The session will outline the core structures of humanitarian coordination and highlight where philanthropic actors can add value without creating parallel systems. Panellists will explore partnership models, governance considerations, and lessons from field experience, emphasising the importance of evidence, accountability, and community-centred approaches.
Prominent speakers include representatives from UNOCHA, the Connecting Business Initiative (CBI), and humanitarian field experts, offering practical insights for donors, foundations, and private-sector contributors seeking to strengthen their humanitarian impact.
Join us for an engaging conversation on how principled, coordinated action can enhance the region’s contribution to global humanitarian response.
