Interdisciplinary research to shape the future of inclusive humanitarian policy

‘Making Aid Work for Displaced Women’ brings together researchers, humanitarian practitioners, and policymakers to build the evidence base on, and to engage with, diverse humanitarian actors working with Islamic philanthropy to improve humanitarian outcomes for displaced women. It bridges diverse aid paradigms—mainstream and faith-inspired—and contributes to a humanitarian reform.

Engaging with Islamic philanthropy actors and principles

Inspiring humanitarian, development and peace nexus futures: Exploring the value-based philanthropy for displaced women

The event aims to present and consult the up-to-date findings of the Making Aid Work initiative, in particular: exploring gender-sensitive innovative humanitarian financing, faith-based charitable resources and ethical principles to advance women's protection in conflict and displacement settings, while reducing social safety net burdens and easing public spending. The event will conclude with actionable recommendations for governments, non-governmental organisations and financial institutions to operationalise innovative refugee financing models.

Symposium

Advancing Humanitarian Innovation on Gender, Displacement, and Islamic Philanthropy

The symposium aims to push interdisciplinary boundaries and contribute to developing an inclusive humanitarian policy and practice. By connecting humanitarian, migration, and religious systems, it provides a platform to exchange and discuss innovative conceptual and financing solutions to support displaced women through integrating different aid paradigms.
