About Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week

The Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week (HNPW) is an annual humanitarian conference, one of the largest events of its kind, that provides a collaborative space for practitioners and experts from a large variety of humanitarian stakeholders including UN agencies, NGOs, the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement, academia, the military, private sector initiatives, and Member States. This year, it will take place in a hybrid format from 02 to 20 May 2022.

The event was first held in 2015 upon a recommendation from Member States and stakeholders of Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships to hold their annual meetings at the same location and to provide an opportunity for professionals working in the humanitarian sector to exchange experience, discuss new concepts, introduce new tools and ideas, connect, and collaborate in finding solutions to common challenges in crisis preparedness and response.

Since 2017, the strategy for HNPW cross-network collaboration is defined by the “Leading-Edge Program” Strategic Group, which is co-chaired by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), comprising representatives of Networks and Partnerships that attend the HNPW. In preparation for the HNPW 2022, the LEP Strategic Group has agreed on nine Areas of Common Concern for cross-network collaboration, including “Climate Crisis”.

In addition to network and partnership meetings, the HNPW 2022 offers a wide variety of cross-networks interactive sessions, briefings, technical meetings, and an exhibition area, where participants will be able to exchange experience and network with professionals and experts across many sectors. Most sessions at the HNW 2022 will be accessible remotely.
