The panel will discuss mobilizing partnerships, solutions and financing for affected countries and people in crisis contexts. 

With a particular focus on Haiti, the Sahel and South Sudan, the panel will explore how innovative financing mechanisms and expanded partnerships—including with IFIs, regional development banks, and the private sector—can better support countries and communities facing protracted crises. 

Panelists will identify opportunities to strengthen resilience, sustain basic social services and bridge humanitarian, development, and peace efforts.
