Navigating a changing humanitarian landscape
Across the humanitarian sector, we are witnessing a moment of rapid and difficult change. At Canadian Foodgrains Bank, we also see this across our network of 15 member agencies and their local partners in 37 countries around the world.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number and complexity of global emergencies, meaning more people need humanitarian support. At the same time, governments around the world, including in Canada, are reducing funding for international development. To continue working toward our mission of ending hunger, we must adapt to this changing landscape and continue finding new and innovative ways to make a meaningful impact.
To spotlight how this is reshaping the sector, Foodgrains Bank staff members have written Meeting the Moment, a 28-page reporton how Canadian humanitarian organizations are adapting to these rapid changes. Based on interviews with staff from 20 leading Canadian humanitarian agencies and insights from Foodgrains Bank members who implement programs through their international partners, Meeting the Moment explores how humanitarian organizations are navigating new pressures, shifting government priorities, and adapting to new technologies (including artificial intelligence) and ways of working.
