Juliano Fiori, Head of Humanitarian Affairs at Save the Children UK, will be talking about humanitarian effectiveness. He leads Save the Children’s Humanitarian Affairs Team (HAT) which has been conducting research on the emergence of the ‘humanitarian effectiveness agenda’, on the politics behind it, and on alternative definitions of effectiveness. The project involves seven field studies – on responses to the outbreak of Ebola in Liberia, conflict in Syria, slow onset food crises in Niger, urban violence in Honduras and Guatemala, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, conflict, separation and blockade in the Occupied Palestine Territories, and floods in Nepal, India and Bangladesh – which offer insight into different understandings of effectiveness, how they are shaped, and what they say about how current humanitarian practices are perceived by different groups.
