More than a dozen initiatives, partnerships, platforms and alliances were either newly developed or strengthened through the World Humanitarian Summit process and will help implement the Core Responsibilities and turn the Agenda for Humanity into reality.
Initiatives range from funds to finance education in emergencies, to data platforms and charters on inclusion.
