J-C. C.: Alongside the Fund and its partner organisations, we must continue our efforts to end suffering and reduce inequality. Although everyone understands need for cooperation between governments, humanitarian agencies, institutions and civil society, we still have much work to do to work better together and improve synergies. In particular, I'm thinking about the issue of migration, a complicated, changing topic that is central to our era. It requires global, effective cooperation between the various stakeholders.

Finally, a humanitarian initiative cannot have a lasting impact without putting communities at the centre of its actions. The role of humanitarian agencies and their partners is to give communities the tools they need to rebuild their lives and meet their own needs over the long term, independently and with dignity. As a result, we need to experiment with and expand projects that are grounded in this type of thinking. Private initiatives such as the Rescue and Recover Fund help make such work possible. THANK YOU!
