About the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks

The 2026 edition of the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks (HNPW)  – a large humanitarian event held every year since 2015 providing a collaborative space for humanitarian networks, partnerships, practitioners and experts to meet and address key humanitarian issues — is taking place in two parts, with online sessions from 2 to 6 March 2026, and in-person sessions from 10 to 12 March 2026 at the Geneva International Conference Center (CICG).

A new Community Day has been introduced on Wednesday, 11 March, bringing everyone together for deep‑dive discussions on the humanitarian re-set and the Areas of Common Concern (AOCC). This dedicated day will create space to collectively discuss and shape the future of humanitarian aid amid shifting geopolitics and reduced funding.

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. The LEP Strategic Group has agreed on eight Areas of Common Concern for cross-network collaboration:

During the event, networks and partnerships hold their annual meetings and consultations, share their expertise and collaborate on best practices to address shared problems. HNPW 2026 also offers a wide variety of cross-network interactive sessions, briefings, technical meetings, and a virtual Exhibition Area, where participants can exchange experiences and have the opportunity to network with professionals and experts across many sectors, including the environment. Most sessions in the HNPW face-to-face week will be accessible remotely. Connection details of upcoming sessions and the outcomes of completed sessions are available in the Event Program.
