Time: 17 Jun 2021 12:00 - 13:00
Place: Online

Following the United Nations Secretary General’s call to break down the silos and adopt a more holistic approach in response to the growing humanitarian challenges, this dialogue will gather key stakeholders representing governments, intergovernmental organizations, civil society and private sector to discuss ways to translate these aspirations into strengthened cooperation on the ground.

Challenges, opportunities and the roles and responsibilities of the different actors will be identified. The dialogue will aim to complement existing efforts to develop a more cohesive and complementary approach to humanitarian, development and peace initiatives.
