The Future of Humanitarian Response - Panel discussion (2013)

At a special presentation held in Ottawa by Canada's International Development Research Centre in collaboration with the Humanitarian Coalition, three leading Canadian experts on humanitarian action share insights on the future of Canada's role in humanitarian crises. Experts from Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam-Québec, and the Canadian Research Institute on Crisis and Aid discuss how Canada might meet the challenges of a global humanitarian system increasingly pushed to the limits of its capacity.

With greater frequency, humanitarian workers are required to work in situations of complex emergencies, defined by internal conflicts and political instability. Humanitarian operations increasingly require innovative programs and technologies to reach more people, in harder to reach areas, in the most cost-efficient ways, while still remaining accountable and effective.

Speakers include: Francois Audet -- Director, Canadian Research Institute on Humanitarian Crises and Aid (OCCAH); Stephen Cornish -- Executive Director, Doctors Without Borders; Denise Byrnes -- Executive Director, Oxfam-Québec. The discussion is moderated by David Common, host of CBC Radio's World Report and Correspondent with CBC News.
