Biannual Meetings

ALNAP holds meetings for its members twice a year. These aim to share information and perspectives on issues and activities relevant to learning, accountability and performance within the humanitarian sector.

The biannuals are usually held around May/June and November/December each year, and are usually hosted by an ALNAP member. For example, in 2005 meetings were hosted by MFA Netherlands in the Hague and by ECHO in Brussels. Meetings are open to ALNAP Full Member representatives only, though a limited number of Observer Members are invited to attend the first day of the meeting.

Each Biannual Meeting lasts two days. The first day usually focuses on a particular theme relevant to ALNAP’s work. For example, recent Biannuals have focussed on humanitarian protection, the Darfur crisis, the South Asian tsunami and lessons learned from the Rwanda crisis. The second day focuses on ALNAP business and allows members to share information on relevant activities with each other.

To facilitate information-sharing, members are encouraged to contribute to the Biannual infoshare, which collates and distributes information on ALNAP members’ relevant activities prior to each meeting.

Biannual meeting records and resources, including papers and presentations from previous ALNAP meetings can be accessed through the dropdown menus on the right.

 

 
Women, mostly illiterate, are key leaders of the Disaster Management Team (DMT) in Dhararghat, a village located near the Brahmaputra River in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. Action by Churches Together (ACT International) has worked with residents here to survive the ravages of flooding, build roads and schools, and to form a DMT to help the community learn to live with worsening flooding. The teams are often the first opportunity for the village's women to participate in organized community life, and the groups have taken on other issues such as domestic violence that affect the daily life of the village's families.
