AGENDA FOR HUMANITY

Summary

More than a dozen initiatives, partnerships, platforms and alliances were either newly developed or strengthened through the World Humanitarian Summit process and will help implement the Core Responsibilities and turn the Agenda for Humanity into reality.

Initiatives range from funds to finance education in emergencies, to data platforms and charters on inclusion. They ensure that the needs of persons with disabilities, children and youth, migrants, older persons, and other marginalized people will be fully taken into account in preparedness and response and work on new, innovative ways to finance humanitarian action.
