What We Do

Reimagining a more inclusive, just and effective humanitarian system — together with partners across regions and disciplines.

WHAF works with many partners from different regions, backgrounds and disciplines to reimagine a more inclusive, just and effective humanitarian system. Our collaborations span local and national NGOs, international institutions, donors, academics, diaspora actors, media and the private sector.

We provide spaces — both virtual and physical — for open dialogue, critical reflection and coordinated action on some of the most pressing challenges facing the humanitarian field today, including:

  • Localisation and equitable partnerships
  • Access to humanitarian financing
  • Protection of communities under threat
  • The role of identity, power and politics in shaping aid dynamics
