In this presentation, we explore the complexities of prioritisation in the humanitarian sector and the urgent need for a shared framework to strengthen collective discussions on priority setting among donors and agencies. Two papers authored by Alice Obrecht and Sophia Swithern are introduced, addressing both overarching challenges in prioritisation and a deeper examination of how decisions are made about programs and populations. Key topics include the distinction between scoping and prioritisation, identifying priority populations and programs, and balancing technical analysis with participatory approaches. The session emphasises the importance of transparency, coordination, and the integration of evidence and community perspectives into prioritisation decisions.
