UK launch on Tuesday 17 July of 'Ending the Everyday Emergency’

World Vision and Save the Children, in association with the Humanitarian Practice Network and the Sahel Working Group, invite you to discuss the findings of “Ending the Everyday Emergency“, a new report on the challenge of strengthening resilience in the Sahel.

The report builds on the ‘Breaking the Hunger Cycle’ report published by the Sahel Working Group in response to the 2010 crisis in the region, and this follow-up report analyses the unfolding crisis in 2012 and argues that, despite some progress, donors are falling short of the comprehensive resilience approach necessary for preventing future crises.

The launch event agenda includes:

Chair’s welcome and introduction (Wendy Fenton, Humanitarian Practice Network)

Presentation of main findings (Peter Gubbels, Groundswell International and report author, via video link from New York)

Discussants: Nick Martlew (Senior Conflict and Humanitarian Advocacy Adviser, Save the Children UK) and Maggie Ibrahim (Resilience Manager, World Vision UK)

Q&A and discussion

It will take place on Tuesday 17th July 14:00 -15:00 at World Vision’s London office in Victoria (directions below). If you are able to attend please RSVP to Madeleine Lawrence (madeleine.lawrence@worldvision.org.uk)
