Tue, 09 Jun 2026 07:25:59 +0000
About the Webinar
Are you looking for an introductory session on ActivityInfo for you and your team?
This webinar introduces ActivityInfo, a configurable information management platform for M&E, partner reporting, case management, beneficiary tracking, and operational reporting. Through practical demonstrations, we will show how teams can design structured data systems, collect and import information, automate indicator calculations, build live dashboards, and control access across teams and partners, without building custom software.
By the end of the webinar, you will have a clear understanding of how ActivityInfo can help your organization reduce manual reporting, improve data quality, and turn program data into information that is easier to use, share, and act on.
We will discuss:
- How ActivityInfo helps teams move beyond fragmented spreadsheets and manual reporting workflows.
- What ActivityInfo is, what kinds of information management challenges it supports, and where it fits in an organization’s data architecture.
- Practical demonstrations showing how to build a simple results tracking system, monitor cases or individuals over time, and manage structured partner reporting.
- How configurable forms, reference data, calculated fields, imports, dashboards, and role-based permissions work together in a live system.
There will also be a Q&A session.
Is this Webinar for me?- Are you responsible for M&E, partner reporting, case management, beneficiary tracking, or operational data?
- Do you spend too much time consolidating spreadsheets, checking data manually, or preparing reports for different stakeholders?
- Are you looking for a practical way to improve data quality, reporting efficiency, and collaboration across teams or partners?

Facilitation Skills Training
Thu, 04 Jun 2026 23:31:28 +0000
Interactions are central to our daily work, be it in meetings, exchanges, workshops, or trainings. Facilitation is the art of understanding, designing, and guiding these interactions. However, we often stick to conventional collaboration methods such as presentations, group discussions, and brainstorming sessions. In this training, we aim to expand your facilitation skills to make exchanges more engaging, inclusive, and efficient. We will discuss the roles and challenges of a facilitator and practice creative methodologies and tools that can be applied in various situations.
A main focus will lie on practical examples of facilitation within international cooperation. Participants will learn how to adapt facilitation techniques to challenging circumstances with different stakeholders. Together, we will collect best practices on how to ensure a productive and collaborative environment in our (daily) work as peacebuilders, development, or humanitarian workers.
Course objectives:
- Get to know different facilitation tools aimed at making your interactions more efficient, inclusive and engaging;
- Practice your facilitation skills and learn how to plan, design, and implement your next facilitation project;
- Explore best practices and lessons learned through case studies;
- Reflect on your own facilitation practice;
- Exchange experiences and become part of a community of practice.
How to register

Leveraging Data Analytics and AI for Early Warning and Conflict Prevention
Thu, 04 Jun 2026 13:11:05 +0000
Join us at the Data for Peace Conference for an engaging online session on “Leveraging Data Analytics and AI for Early Warning and Conflict Prevention”!
? 17 June ⏰ 16:30-17:30 CEST
?Online, open to all and free of charge!
Co-facilitated by Ginevra Cucinotta and MinJi Song, this panel discussion brings together practitioners from UNSSC, the UN Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA), United Nations Peacekeeping, Build Up ^ and UNDP to explore how data, analytics and emerging AI approaches are shaping decision-making across prevention, crisis responseun e and peacebuilding.
Rather than asking whether AI is “good” or “bad,” the discussion will dive into:
- Where trust in data systems is built or lost
- How risks emerge across the data-to-decision chain
- Challenges in data credibility, governance, and fragmented workflows
- The role of forecasting and early warning systems

Monitoring and Predicting Floods using Earth Observations for Planning and Preparedness
Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:44:07 +0000
Floods are the most common and widespread of all weather-related natural disasters. Lasting from minutes to weeks, floods can place a huge burden on a community, including loss of life, damage to infrastructure and economies, and long-term impacts on human health and well-being. Remote sensing observations and Earth system models, when combined with hydrologic models, can support both flood monitoring and prediction efforts to significantly improve preparedness and response planning.
This three-part training includes an overview and demonstration of flood monitoring tools based on remotely sensed optical observations, NASA's near real-time Global Flood Product, and several Observational Products for End-users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA). Additionally, the training introduces a streamflow prediction tool — the Group on Earth Observations Global Water Sustainability (GEOGLOWS) model — which provides global, historical, and 15-day streamflow predictions. Trainers guide participants through hands-on exercises to access and visualize selected flood data.
Objectives
By the end of this training attendees will be able to:
- Identify datasets in NASA's Global Flood Product, which is based on remotely sensed optical observations.
- Use the webtool, NASA Worldview, to access and visualize flooded regions from Global Flood Product, available from multiple satellites, from 2021 to near-real time.
- Identify OPERA dynamic surface water extent data for flood detection derived from optical and SAR observations.
- Access and visualize OPERA dynamic surface water extent data for flood events using NASA Worldview.
- Identify the capabilities of GEOGLOWS River Forecast System (RFS) for global streamflow prediction.
- Use GEOGLOWS Hydroviewer to access globally available retrospective and predicted streamflow for selected rivers.
Target Audience
Local, regional, federal, and non-governmental organizations, as well as companies, involved in flood and water resources management, emergency response, disaster relief and rescue operations, flood insurance, and real estate and infrastructure building.
Students and academics who are interested in learning about remote sensing of flood monitoring and predictions.

Date:
15 June 2026 10 a.m. — 1 p.m. (America/New York)
Location
Online and at the United Nations Secretariat Building, New York
As OCHA is embarking on a new Strategic Plan (2027-2030), we are hosting this hybrid event as part of the annual Global Humanitarian Policy Forum (GHPF) ahead of the Humanitarian Affairs Segment of the United Nations Economic and Social Council. The programme will consist of panel discussions taking place over two hours.
Under the theme Navigating Global Risks: Priorities for the Future of Humanitarian Action, the event will provide a unique forum for multi-stakeholder dialogue on emerging global risks and trends shaping humanitarian action in 2026 and beyond. Anchored in ongoing reform efforts under the Humanitarian Reset and UN80, it will make a timely and substantive contribution to strategic reflection on the future of humanitarian action.
The event will examine how the humanitarian landscape is being reshaped by global risks and trends, such as the erosion of multilateralism and the acceleration of technological change through artificial intelligence, as well as the immediate drivers of need identified in the Global Humanitarian Overview.
Co-organized with University of Oxford Nuffield College, the side event will bring together historical, political economic, and operational perspectives to examine how humanitarian action must adapt under conditions of systemic stress, considering the practical realities and trade-offs facing humanitarian actors today while building on long-term institutional lessons. Perspectives from crisis affected countries and Global South contexts will further inform the dialogue, grounding strategic debates in the operational realities of humanitarian response.
