OCHA’s sixth annual Global Humanitarian Policy Forum (GHPF) took place on 13 December 2017 in New York with the participation of approximately 300 representatives of UN agencies, NGOs, think tanks, universities, the private sector and Member States. Under the broad theme “Reaching for the future: Humanitarianism in 2030”, the event explored the scale and depth of change required by the humanitarian sector to contribute towards the 2030 Agenda.
This course has been prepared by KoBoToolbox at the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative in collaboration with UNOCHA. The Humanitarian Needs Assessment E-learning program is designed to provide an overview of the Humanitarian Needs Assessment process.
