Trends show humanitarian crises are more numerous than ever and consequently affecting more people.
They are hitting increasingly urban populations and require complex global responses.
Aga Khan Foundation Canada, in partnership with the Humanitarian Coalition, the International Development Research Centre and the Canadian Research Institute on Humanitarian Crisis and Aid, invite you to watch a series of webcasts by renowned humanitarian experts at the second annual Canadian Humanitarian Conference.
The conference was held at the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat in Ottawa on December 4 and 5, 2014.
This webcast was hosted by AKFC in partnership with the Humanitarian Coalition, the International Development Research Centre and the Canadian Research Institute on Humanitarian Crisis and Aid, with support from the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Development.
About Humanitarian Coalition
Following the South Asian Tsunami of 2004, a number of Canadian relief organizations discussed the creation of a Canadian joint appeal mechanism. All of Canada’s principal humanitarian organisations were involved in the initial studies and discussions. Four of these organizations went on to found and pilot the Humanitarian Coalition. These were: CARE Canada, Oxfam Canada, Oxfam-Québec and Save the Children Canada.
Relying on the examples of European joint appeal mechanisms, the Humanitarian Coalition was formed initially in 2005 as a loose agreement between the four founding member agencies to pursue joint fundraising efforts in Canada for humanitarian disaster relief.
