Achieving humanitarian, development, and peace coherence entails synergies across technical silos and adaptive work structures and cultures. How have country teams evolved and stretched their mandates to deliver HDP coherent programming? What does this look like from both a technical and an operations/management perspective? How are implementing partners coordinating internally and strengthening staff capacity to deliver coherent programming? What challenges are we facing and how are these being addressed? 

This dynamic dialogue explored these questions and offered practical takeaways for how to approach HDP coherence at the project and country level. Participants were invited to join the dialogue and share their own experiences in organizing for HDP coherence.

The event was hosted by Karri Goeldner Byrne, Senior Markets Systems Advisor. Speakers include:

  • Dan Rooney, Chief of Party, Madagascar, Catholic Relief Services
  • Hiba Tibi, Regional Economic Empowerment Hub (EE Hub) Manager, Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region, CARE International
