- Panel 2: The need for humanitarian, development and peace collaboration in
Haiti, South Sudan, and the Sahel - Conclusions and closing remarks from co-Chairs
The second panel discussion will center on addressing forced displacement, hunger, education, and health, with a particular emphasis on women and children, through the prism of three geographic contexts. Discussions will delve into the specific challenges and transformative solutions unique to each region or country, to explore how to strengthen development investments for marginalized groups.
The panel discussions will consider efforts to work more effectively across humanitarian,
development and peacebuilding action and to guide coordinated support at regional and country levels. They will also aim to highlight concrete examples of successful programming that delivers development outcomes for the most vulnerable; fosters closer collaboration among international actors, relevant authorities and local partners; and will identify options for scaling up these efforts.
The meeting will be co-chaired by His Excellency Ambassador Tarek Ladeb, Permanent Representative of Tunisia to the United Nations in New York, in his capacity as the ECOSOC Vice-President for the Operational Activities for Development Segment, and Ambassador Ivan Šimonović, in his capacity as the ECOSOC Vice-President for the HAS.
