Great article from The New Humanitarian highlighting the reforms that might come out of the Ukraine humanitarian response. I only wish there was mention of the massive mobilization of the business community (close to $2 billion of aid) and its implications thenewhumanitarian.org/analysis/2022/…

This #WorldHumanitarianDay, we wanted to celebrate our partners and friends at @Connecting_Biz, who dedicate their lives to helping others. This is the story of their lifesaving work and what it means for them to be humanitarians: connectingbusiness.org/news-events/bl… #ItTakesAVillage

The global humanitarian situation is absolutely devastating. As highlighted by Tom Fletcher “This is the biggest funding gap we’ve ever seen,” with more than 200m people in need of urgent lifesaving assistance. nytimes.com/2022/08/22/wor…

🔴Starting soon! We are looking forward to joining the conversation with Kareem Elbayar and sharing some #Biz4Good best practices in climate adaptation & disaster risk reduction. #BuildingBridges22 Follow live ⤵️

Acting before disasters hit saves lives. That's why humanitarians are increasingly investing in anticipatory approaches. For #DRRDay, see how businesses can help: connectingbusiness.org/news-events/bl…

If we want to tackle growing humanitarian needs and more complex emergencies, we must bring in the resources and expertise of the private sector. Check out the latest @Connecting_Biz blog on how businesses can support the #EarlyAction agenda. #DRRDay connectingbusiness.org/news-events/bl…

Such an honor to join Joyce Msuya Jan Egeland Anja.Nitzsche and colleagues from around the world at the #HiltonPrize ceremony today. Partnerships between the UN, civil society, and the private sector are key to making humanitarian response more effective and efficient.

I was very happy to meet our @deutschepostdhl friends today for the renewal of our partnership agreement with @undp & @unocha. ‌ Collaborating with the private sector is a win-win solution in humanitarian response. Looking forward to working even closer together in the future!

13 teams from around the world deployed & 39 more are on their way under UN Humanitarian's coordination in response to the earthquake near the #Türkiye-#Syria border. These teams will provide crucial support for emergency response and search and rescue efforts. #UNDAC International Search and Rescue Advisory Group

What I saw today in #Türkiye was devastating. What were once homes, filled with families and memories, now lay contorted and tangled. Our thoughts are with those affected and we will continue to support in any way we can.

What we need now in Somalia is emergency life-saving assistance, urgent funding for the United Nations, NGOs and partners. The families I've met last week in Somalia need help now. Tomorrow will be too late.

Businesses from Turkiye and around the world are contributing generously to help millions of people affected by last week's earthquakes. We've put together this Business Brief to help ensure those contributions are coordinated with the UN and other humanitarian organizations⤵️

Imagine the combined population of New York City, Los Angeles, Paris and Rome being without homes, electricity, food, water, or other essentials. That's exactly how this earthquake is impacting 18M people in #Turkiye and #Syria. Where's the news? Where have the headlines gone??

Fantastic to be at #MWC2023 to meet GSMA Mobile for Development & govt, UN and NGO partners to discuss our favorite topic: how businesses can help improve humanitarian response. The Connecting Business Initiative (CBI) team will support expanding mobile partnerships through the Humanitarian Connectivity Charter! ☑️ 📶

💪🏾Strong presence of the Connecting Business initiative at the UNDRR Américas y el Caribe regional platform in Uruguay! We advocated for a stronger role of the private sector in disaster risk reduction. Happy to see this imperative reflected in the final declaration! #PR23

“While we have more wars, more recklessness, more heedlessness from leaders who choose war, we do not see any change, any diminution in the humanity that binds communities across the world”. A note of hope from Tom Fletcher Martin Griffiths Watch our full conservation here
