"Sudan risks being further torn apart by conflict without enhanced diplomatic efforts," says Eatizaz Yousif, International Rescue Committee's Sudan Country Director. Over 130,000 more people are expected to be displaced in Sudan due to renewed fighting. Shockingly, the Sudan humanitarian response plan for 2024 is only 18% funded.

InterAction reposted this
I’m proud to take on this new role at InterAction, the largest alliance of U.S.-based international non-governmental organizations, at a time when it’s more important than ever for humanitarian organizations to work together. With more people displaced than ever before, conflict erupting around the world and extreme weather increasing in intensity, this kind of collaboration and collective power can make a real difference. And I look forward to more events like the InterAction Forum I attended recently, where Gayle E. Smith delivered amazing remarks reminding us all that we are stronger together and collectively we can make change and make the world a better place. I left the event feeling incredibly energized and inspired – from the speakers and the wonderful opportunity to connect with colleagues, including Tom Hart , Michelle Nunn, Abby Maxman, Janti Soeripto and Tessie San Martin.
Meet InterAction's new Board Members! InterAction extends a heartfelt thanks to Sharif A., Dianne Calvi, Carol Jenkins, Koby Langley, Eskinder Negash, Michelle Nunn, and Michael J. Nyenhuis for their service to InterAction. A special thanks goes out to Abby Maxman, our outgoing Board Chair, for her steadfast commitment to InterAction over six years. We look forward to their continued engagement as leaders in our NGO community. As we said goodbye to these eight outstanding leaders, we were excited to announce three Board Members who have transitioned to leadership positions—Janti Soeripto, President and CEO of Save the Children US, was elected Board Chair; Christine Squires, President and CEO of Americares, was elected Vice-Chair; and Rabih Torbay, President and CEO of Project HOPE, was elected Treasurer.

The Norwegian Refugee Council is sounding the alarm on the situation in 🇸🇩#Sudan: “There is no escape from suffering. It has been 15 months of uninterrupted violence and spiralling humanitarian crisis,” says Mathilde Vu, NRC’s Advocacy Manager in Sudan. “When it’s not bullets, it’s hunger that kills.” More than half the population in 🇸🇩#Sudan – 25.6 million people – are experiencing crisis levels of hunger, while thousands of refugees in neighbouring countries are struggling to feed their children."

On June 26 and 27, over 240 leaders and innovators in the global development and humanitarian community gathered for InterAction’s flagship annual event, Forum, at Convene in downtown Washington, D.C. Headlined by speakers from Congress and the Administration, and complemented by panel discussions and interactive sessions from over 30 organizations, the event sparked broad discussion and debate on a variety of issues—from localization and sanctions, to artificial intelligence and current global crises. During opening remarks, InterAction President and CEO, Tom Hart, highlighted how “the number, scope, cost, and duration of humanitarian crises” is unsustainable, a common point made over the two-day event. This comes as “there are more questions about America’s role in the world,” as was seen in the Ukraine supplemental deliberations, Hart noted. Nevertheless, the leaders and innovators needed to drive change were sitting in that room and had done it before. In fact, the InterAction community has been doing it for four decades. This year marks 40 years since InterAction was formed. Read our recap by Mitchell McQuate ⬇️

In 🇲🇱#Mali, over half of the young people are illiterate, and 2 million children are out of school. UNICEF USA's catch-up classes, supported by Education Cannot Wait (ECW), are making a significant impact by providing children with a welcoming and nurturing environment to learn. Programs like the Reading Corners are vital in helping children gain essential skills and return to formal education.

Fresh off the press! We are delighted to share the published version of Protection: The Board Game. We worked closely with the amazing team at InterAction to capture the aims of Results Based Protection (RBP), a dynamic methodology for humanitarian actors to support victims in zones of conflict. The game will be played by NGO and agency leaders around the world to upskill them on the basics of RBP. This is the product of countless iterations, consultations, and redesigns, but always a labor of love. Special thanks to the leadership and vision of Elisa Navarro, the kind, thoughtful, and supportive guidance of Jessica Lenz, and the incredible artistry of Naandeyé García Villegas. As you can see, this game is a work of art!
