Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks (HNPW) 2026

The Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks (HNPW) 2026 will be held in a hybrid format from 2 to 12 March. The first week (2 to 6 March) will be held remotely. The second week (10 to 12 March) will be organised face-to-face at the CICG in Geneva.

The EiE Hub will co-host two hybrid sessions, with face-to-face and online participation possible:

• Children and young people tell us what they need. Response plans reflect some of what they said. Funding reflects none of it (10 March, 14:00-15:30 CET, Salle Montreux, CICG and online), co-organised by the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, the Global Education Cluster, the Norwegian Refugee Council, Plan International, Save the Children, and the EiE Hub
• Advancing Anticipatory Action and Preparedness for Life-Saving Education Response – Progress and Learning (12 March, 14:00-15:30 CET, Room 14, CICG and online), co-organised by the Global Education Cluster and the EiE Hub

These sessions build on previous sessions that the EiE Hub co-organised at HNPW 2024 and 2025, as well as the EiE Hub’s 2025 Flagship Report: Acting Ahead to Protect Education Investments.
