SUMMARY:Learning from the Beirut Port Explosion Response - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The humanitarian response after the Beirut Blast took place in a complex urban setting. Numerous responders from local organizations\, ad hoc informal initiatives and international humanitarian organizations worked hard to save lives and help victims. Many of the new ad hoc initiatives remained active\, also after international NGOs moved in. \n\n\n\nWhat can we learn from the Beirut Port Explosion response? Was the input and work of local actors recognized and supported adequately by international NGOs and UN Agencies? What role did the various actors play in the ‘first phase’ of the response and how can international NGOs and agencies align with local CSOs\, informal networks and initiatives more effectively? \n\n\n\nThe learnings on collaboration\, coordination\, and community engagement will contribute to better preparedness of humanitarian actors for humanitarian responses in an urban setting. \n\n\n\nDuring the session local organizations from Beirut will share preliminary learnings\, as will representatives of international NGOs. \n\n\n\nIntroductions:\n\n\n\nSetting the scene – A growing awareness on the specifics of an urban response by Prof. Thea Hilhorst\, Erasmus University.Preliminary findings of the local actors by the Lebanon Humanitarian and Development NGOs Forum (LDFH) and partners.Preliminary findings international NGOs by the Lebanon Humanitarian INGO Forum (LHIF) and partners.\n\n\n\nAfter the introduction a panel with the opening speakers and representatives of local actors\, Save the Children International\, and the Dutch Relief Alliance will discuss how these learnings could lead to a better preparedness of humanitarian actors in an urban setting.The working session will be facilitated as a webinar: attendees to the session are invited to participate to the panel discussion via the chat and Q&A-box. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:A Rule of Law Based Approach to Sustainable Economic Recovery for Least Developed Countries
DESCRIPTION:A Rule of Law Based Approach to Sustainable Economic Recovery for Least Developed Countries: The contribution of ISP/LDCs as a dedicated public-private partnership for investment capacity development in the least developed countries \n\n\n\nThe impact of the global crisis triggered by COVID-19 is being felt most severely by LDCs and by the most vulnerable people within them.  It is becoming critical to develop new solutions to unlock LDCs’ capacity to create an enabling environment to attract FDI and access the resource flows required to finance their recovery efforts. Against the assessment by the LDCs of the path to their socio-economic recovery in preparation for the 2022 DOHA Conference\, this Side Event will review the initial experience in implementing IDLO’s Investment Support Programme for the Least Developed Countries (ISP/LDCs)—a dedicated public-private partnership geared to supporting LDCs in managing and sustaining FDI. Discussions will focus on the distinctive features of the Programme and their contribution to innovation and enhanced impact in the international effort to support LDCs’ capacity development and help level the playing field in investment negotiations and the settlement of commercial disputes. \n\n\n\nThe Side Event focuses on IDLO’s Investment Support Programme for Least Developed Countries (ISP/LDCs) This link opens in a new tab as a public-private partnership that seeks to make distinctive contribution to the international efforts to help accelerate LDCs’ recovery from COVID-19 and to advance their sustainable development goals. \n\n\n\nISP/LDCs provides\, at no cost to beneficiaries\, legal and technical advice and assistance\, as well as complementary capacity-building\, to both governments and eligible private sector entities in LDCs on investment-related matters\, including investment negotiations and dispute settlements. Such assistance is provided by harnessing the services of lawyers and experts who provide support to the beneficiaries on a “pro bono” or reduced fee basis. \n\n\n\nISP/LDCs was jointly designed by the UN Office of the High Representative for Least Developed Countries\, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States and IDLO\, with support from the Government of Italy. It became fully operational in 2019\, thanks to funding from the European Union and a contribution from the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development. Since then\, the Programme has delivered investment-related technical support to a wide range of countries. This included the provision of strategic assistance to the Government of The Gambia in an investor-state arbitration with a foreign investor This link opens in a new tab\, which facilitated the achievement of an out-of-court settlement. The Programme moreover provides support in Malawi\, Liberia and Ethiopia\, with new entry-points for assistance being discussed in Uganda\, Mozambique and LDCs in the Pacific Region. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER
