Humanitarian Advisory Group (HAG) 254d ago

Protracted crises are situations of prolonged and sustained instability, conflict or humanitarian emergency that persist over an extended period of time. The United Nations (UN) Secretary General wrote in his Protection of Civilians report to the UN Security Council this year, that the ‘average conflict duration is more than 30 years’. How can the international humanitarian system maintain a response and support people impacted by crises that last for decades on end? In this episode of I Think You’re On Mute, your host Beth Eggleston explores the nature of protracted crises, how humanitarian response differs compared to short-term emergencies, and what we can do to support local organisations and leadership with guests Jess Lees and Ahmad Shuja Jamal.
