Forced migration, a key aspect of humanitarian crises, shapes responses as people flee conflicts and disasters, facing risks requiring protection. Consequently, forced migration has become a significant operational concern and an essential subject of study, as interconnected and compounding factors lead to more frequent and impactful population displacement. Join us for this informative seminar on the essential roles of humanitarian actors in assisting displaced populations through data collection, monitoring, and response operations. This seminar will introduce the new book on forced migration and humanitarian action while showcasing insights from organizations engaged in these efforts. Engage with notable speakers to discover more about humanitarian operations for those facing displacement.
