Event description
On 23 July, PHAP hosted a live online discussion webcast from the North and South East Asia World Humanitarian Summit regional consultation that took place in Tokyo on 23 and 24 July. Participants were presented with a live video feed of the regional consultation, which included 16 countries and other partners who work on humanitarian issues, such as the UN, NGOs, regional organizations, business and academic institutions. Participants discussed the proceedings online in real time, and the chat feed was projected on a screen for the delegates present in Tokyo. Additionally, selected comments and questions from participants were communicated directly to the delegates.
The World Humanitarian Summit, convened by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and managed by OCHA, is bringing together all interested humanitarian stakeholders together to set out a new course for how we collaborate in the vital effort to prepare for and respond to natural disasters and man-made crises around the world.
