Come meet us at the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul
The World Humanitarian Summit is taking place next week in Istanbul, 23-24 May. PHAP members from all over the world will be involved in a variety of ways, both independently and on behalf of their organizations – participating in High-Level Roundtables, Special Sessions, side events, the Expo, and the Innovation Marketplace.
As a global professional association, PHAP has also been invited to take part in the High-Level Roundtables and Special Sessions, represented by its Executive Director, Angharad Laing. PHAP's aim is for critical issues to be addressed in an inclusive and objective manner, including through the participation of practitioners in their individual professional capacity and the contribution of practice-based evidence. This effort builds on PHAP’s more than 30 consultation events in the lead-up to the Summit in Istanbul, which engaged thousands of practitioner stakeholders around the world – with a majority based in the Global South.
In addition, PHAP will have a stand in the WHS Expo, 22-24 May, staffed by secretariat colleagues and member volunteers. We will be speaking with members and other stakeholders about the association, its unique mission, and its ambitious goals for the coming years, outlined in PHAP’s new strategic framework that has been developed by the membership over the past months and will be presented for adoption in the next PHAP General Assembly.
To help amplify practitioner voices and bring clarity to the Summit process for those unable to participate onsite, we will carry out interviews in our Expo booth and publish them online.
We will publish the interviews on the PHAP website and on social media – follow us on any or all of the following channels to keep up to date:
