Speaker:
Ambassador Hesham Youssef – Assistant Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation
Chair:
Sara Pantuliano – Director, Humanitarian Policy Group, ODI
Delivering the HPG annual lecture this year is Ambassador Hesham Youssef, who, as deputy secretary-general of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, works in a very politically charged region.
A former diplomat, and an insider-outsider to the WHS process, he will offer a fresh perspective on how humanitarians can and must be more politics-aware and politically savvy to tackle the systemic blockages that ail the aid system.
At the root of many of the problems within humanitarian action are issues of politics, politicians and a lack of political will.
