The HNPW 2025 will be held in a hybrid format from 17 March to 28 March 2025. The first week (17 to 21 March) will be held remotely, the second week (24 to 28 March) will be organized face-to-face at the International Conference Center Geneva (CICG, Rue de Varembé 17, 1211 Geneva).
The Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks (HNPW) provide a unique forum for humanitarian networks and partnerships to meet and address key humanitarian issues. One of the largest humanitarian events of its kind, it gathers participants from the UN, NGOs, Member States, the private sector, academia, the military, and beyond to discuss and solve common challenges in humanitarian affairs. During the event, networks and partnerships hold their annual meetings and consultations, share their expertise, and collaborate on best practices to address shared problems.
