Auditorium
This session will focus on reaching a common understanding and sharing best solutions on how to ensure effective and principled humanitarian action in Ukraine.

It will evaluate the opportunities and challenges for Nexus in Ukraine and debate how we can make sure that the humanitarian response can pave the way to the next steps, i.e. early recovery, social safety nets, and reconstruction.
Overall, the session will draw and evaluate lessons learnt in Ukraine and provide recommendations for future principled and sustainable humanitarian actions.
