Reimagining Foreign Aid: The Future of Humanitarian Leadership Logo

  • Event Description

     This year has brought significant shifts in global foreign assistance, reflecting broader challenges in meeting growing humanitarian needs. As crises become more complex and the number of lives at risk is staggering, the imperative to modernize and strengthen aid systems has never been clearer.
    While today’s humanitarian landscape is marked by disruption, it may be the catalyst needed for meaningful humanitarian reform. Innovation is no longer optional—it’s the driving force behind resilience, adaptability, and unlocking new pathways to progress. From reimagining delivery models to forging unconventional partnerships and cross-sector collaboration, the future of aid demands transformation.
    Join World Affairs Council, Save the Children, and the Gates Foundation as we are tackling this urgent question: Where do we go from here, and how do we build something better?
