We are pleased to bring you the twelfth issue of Beyond Relief!
In our Feature Article, Mr Jonathan How brings the voices of the Karenni State to us, enabling us to hear from the people on the ground.
This issue’s On the Ground features some of the initiatives and projects that members of the Singapore Humanitarian Network (SHN) have been participating in. Dr Caroline Brassard contributes an article on the need to assess the socioeconomic benefits of climate, meteorological and hydrological Services, while Ms Claire Leow shares her experience with disaster preparedness in the Pacific. Our members from the Singapore Red Cross and CHARIS share their recent exhibition and activities. We also feature a snapshot of the monthly gatherings of the SHN.
Our members from the academic community are keeping themselves busy, covering a diverse range of topics from the use of AI in crises to the rise of transnationalism in aid and the need for mutual aid networks.
In the Spotlight features the upcoming Humanitarian Futures Forum (HFF) on 27 October 2026. The HFF is a high-level platform that brings together regional stakeholders to deliberate on the humanitarian dynamics of the crises we face in the Indo-Pacific.
Finally, we welcome your ideas, feedback and input and look forward to supporting joint efforts in research, networking and knowledge sharing. Do get in touch with either Nanthini ([email protected]) or Al ([email protected]).
