Webinar on Adapting Responsibly – Accountability and Quality in Uncertain Times
In collaboration with our partner, ACT Church of Sweden, we have organised a series of Webinars on “Adapting Responsibly and Ethically to the Changing Funding Landscape”
The series aims to explore how humanitarian and development actors can adapt responsibly and ethically in the face of shrinking resources, shifting donor priorities, and escalating needs. Through diverse perspectives—from local leadership to global accountability standards—it seeks to deepen collective understanding of what it takes to remain community-centred, principled, and effective amidst funding uncertainty.
