What is a Space?
Open Atrium provides spaces for knowledge sharing among public, donors and IASC community. Spaces are activity hubs for public knowledge sharing. Private Spaces are activity hubs for non-public conversation.
Open Atrium is organized into Spaces, Sub-spaces, and Sections. Sections might include Documents, Meetings, News.
More than 45 members of the IASC Humanitarian Financing Task Team and invitees participated in a retreat in Geneva on 21-22 January 2015 to take stock of the Task Team’s progress in 2014 and finalize the 2015 workplan with clear priorities and timelines. They agreed in principle on a revised workplan for 2015, which will be finalized in the coming weeks.
On the 8th of November 2013, typhoon Haiyan (known locally as Yolanda) made landfall in the Philippines. The typhoon left around 4 million people homeless, and killed another 6,000. People living in the Philippines already suffered high levels of poverty. Following the typhoon, a large global-scale emergency (L3) was declared. A Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) was deployed to the Philippines, where they drafted an initial Humanitarian Action Plan. On the 10th of December, a Strategic Response Plan (SRP) covering 12 months was released, which provided direction for the rest of the response.
On 15 January 2013, the Emergency Relief Coordinator activated a system-wide Level 3 response to the Syria crisis, which triggered a number of activities, including the mandatory conduct of an Inter-Agency Humanitarian Evaluation (IAHE) within 15 months of the L-3 declaration. However, given the regional dimension of the Syria crisis, its complex political nature and the ongoing conflict, the IAHE Steering Group decided to initiate a joint evaluative effort in lieu of an IAHE. To this end, the Syria CALL Initiative was launched.
The conflict that began in December 2013 in South Sudan continues to affect the lives of millions of people. It has been marked by brutal violence against civilians and deepening suffering across the country. Insecurity and active hostilities constrain civilians’ freedom of movement. The major humanitarian consequences are widespread displacement due to the violence; high rates of death, disease, and injuries, severe food insecurity and disrupted livelihoods, and a major malnutrition crisis. South Sudan was declared an L3 emergency on February 11, 2014.
