From Crisis to Reckoning: Decolonise aid, Localise Power, Restore JusticeThe Alliance for Empowering Partnership (A4EP) raises deep alarm over the dismantling of USAID and broader international aid cuts, which are exposing the fragility of a donor-dominated humanitarian system. These cuts, happening amidst record-high global needs, reinforce the urgency of transforming aid into a system rooted in justice, equity, and local leadership.

In an era where harmful information, misinformation and disinformation can exacerbate humanitarian crises, this session explores the complex interplay between technology and truth. Artificial Intelligence is both a challenge and a tool in this landscape—fueling the spread of false narratives while also offering innovative solutions to detect and combat them. This event will delve into how AI can be used for anticipatory action in humanitarian contexts, including monitoring and assessment.
