. Executive Summary The 12th iteration of the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks (HNPW), co-hosted by OCHA and Switzerland, returned in 2026 with a renewed, shorter format and a strengthened strategic focus, with this year’s chosen theme centred on shaping the humanitarian reset and moving
Key takeaway Marking one year since the launch of the humanitarian reset, OCHA convened a briefing on the humanitarian reset prior to HNPW to update networks and partners on progress against commitments.
Why this matters
The 2026 Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks report highlights the need for genuine power sharing and increased local representation in global and regional decision-making bodies to advance the humanitarian reset. This emphasis on localization is critical, as it acknowledges that local and national NGOs are often best positioned to respond to humanitarian crises in their communities. The report's focus on redirecting resources and authority to national responders without unnecessary intermediaries is a key step towards achieving this goal. Furthermore, investing in long-term system strengthening of local institutions, rather than relying on short-term parallel mechanisms, is essential for building resilience and sustainability in humanitarian response. As the humanitarian sector continues to evolve, it will be important to monitor progress against these commitments and to identify areas where further support and resources are needed to drive the reset forward and improve outcomes for affected communities.
