This year\u2019s event was held on the 10th of October in Rome, at the Ara Pacis (Auditorium), and involved experts, researchers and practitioners from the humanitarian world, who focused on dilemmas, difficulties and perspectives. The Scuola Superiore Sant\u2019Anna of Pisa was the Academic partner of the fourth edition of the Congress. Students were involved on issues related to the humanitarian system, in particular this year the focus of the students was on the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, producing research papers that were presented during the Congress.<\/p>\n

This years’ Rome Humanitarian Congress provided an opportunity to discuss growing array of systemic and operational challenges, that create a complex environment and hinder the ability of Humanitarian Organisations to deliver timely, effective, and principled assistance in response to the growing needs. Bringing together high-level leaders, experts and practitioners, the first session titled “Humanitarianism Beyond the Breaking Point – Forging a Path Forward<\/b>” tried to address what the humanitarian system and organisations such as INTERSOS should do \u2013 in order to overcome the difficult challenges the system is facing, and reinvent itself to deliver principled assistance in the new realities. The afternoon session titled \u201c<\/i>Flip the coin: Myths and realities on addressing the ever increasing funding gap<\/b>\u201d<\/i> focused on exploring ideas and suggested actions to unlock new ways of financing humanitarian response, identify pathways towards financial sustainability for the sector \u2014 which still relies heavily on institutional donors \u2014 and explore smarter financing mechanisms.<\/p>\n
