Partners’ Conference

The Partners’ Conference is an annual, partners-only event that provides a dedicated space for operational dialogue between DG ECHO and its certified NGO partners. Complementing the European Humanitarian Forum (EHF), it focuses on the operational implications of EU humanitarian policy and on lessons from implementation.

In the absence of an EHF in 2026, the Partners’ Conference will ensure continuity in dialogue, support collective problem-solving on emerging operational challenges, and strengthen trust and cooperation within the EU Humanitarian Partnership. Building on the outcomes of previous editions, the 2026 Partners’ Conference will offer an opportunity to reflect on evolving priorities, share operational insights, and jointly inform priorities for EU humanitarian action going forward.
