VOICE at Work 8 - Spotlight on EU Humanitarian Action

The April 2025 edition of VOICE at Work focuses on the growing strain on the global humanitarian system, with rising needs and shrinking resources. As international funding becomes increasingly uncertain, particularly following recent geopolitical developments, VOICE calls on the EU to reinforce its role as a global humanitarian leader. The newsletter outlines key advocacy points ahead of the next long-term EU budget, urging greater and more flexible humanitarian funding. It also delves into anticipatory action, the importance of International Humanitarian Law, and efforts to decolonise humanitarian action.
