Media partner
For the second time in a row, CartONG partnered up with Humanitarian Alternatives for the GeOnG. Through this partnership, we were able to bring more original contents to the agenda of the forum, by ensuring a larger dissemination of the Open Call for Suggestions and by building on the content of issue n°8 on the rise of new technologies in the humanitarian sector and issue n°11 which focuses more generally on the question of climate change. We were also able to reach new actors to help increase the number, and diversify the type of organizations represented at the GeOnG. Lastly, this partnership was also an opportunity for CartONG to highlight the importance of the work that Alternatives Humanitaires do in support of aid actors.
Humanitarian Alternatives/Alternatives Humanitaires is a bilingual (French/English) review devoted to humanitarian action. It was created with the view to:
- Provide a global perspective of the humanitarian sector and the development of its practices and become a forum for exchange through the subscription of its printed publications and free digital access to its website,
- Offer an opportunity for researchers in the human sciences (sociology, history, economics, anthropology, etc.) and humanitarian practitioners to interact and share first-hand insights on the challenges facing the humanitarian sector,
- Promote dialogue and interchange between researchers and practitioners working in these sectors in both the North and the South, Inform a broad international audience on the approaches to “borderless” humanitarian action being carried out through the pooling of resources, ideas, and initiatives.
In its issues published three times a year, Humanitarian Alternatives hosts original articles validated by an Editorial Board that operates independently from its financial partners. Each issue revolves around a specific theme called “Focus” and also includes some of the following sections: Perspectives, Ethics, Transitions, Innovations, Reportage, and Culture. Articles are freely accessible online, and hard copy versions are available by subscription or purchase of individual issues.
