On 11-12 May 2021, CHA has hosted its annual conference on the topic
Five years Grand Bargain –
time to restart humanitarian reform?
About 400 participants from 55 countries followed the #CHA_GB21 conference on both days. We are particularly contented that participants were able to actively raise questions and to bring up comments to the different panels thanks to the Zoom chat. In the following video gallery, you can re-visit the whole conference. The abstracts to each session can be found in the detailed agenda as PDF, as well as in the video description (by opening each of the embedded videos in YouTube).
