Roundtable participants (RPs) included 28 practitioners from a cross-section of local humanitarian agencies, UN agencies, NGOs, International Organizations, academic institutions, advocacy groups, and research centers. Annex I illustrates the workshop agenda. Convened during the COVID-19 pandemic, this roundtable was held online via Zoom video and consisted of plenary and breakout group discussions.
The design and topics for the roundtable were informed by prior informal interviews with 14 key informants (KIs) with expertise on DEI issues, conducted between 2019 and early 2020. Sample quotes from the interviews were shared with workshop RPs and can be found in Annex 1. The workshop breakout sessions addressed: The Localization Agenda, Safety and Security, Impunity and Accountability, and Organizational Behavior and Buy-In. HHI is grateful to all practitioners who participated in an informational interview or the roundtable, and summaries of the topics and conversations from each roundtable session are given below.
