Responding to protracted crises in Nigeria comes with its unique challenges and small joys. Small joys like a two-day gathering of like-minds from across Nigeria and a broad spectrum of response from WASH to gender based violence, youth led programmes to finance focused programming, from Borno to Zamfara. 🎙️Listen to reflections live from #HXAbuja from Biobele Daviana Davidson M.D., Raquel Kasham Daniel, Maryam Hassan Gambo, Stephen Olushola Oladepo, Philip Yidawi, Rukaiya Ibrahim (Mrs.), and David Habba 🔗https://lnkd.in/diP-GQEA HX Abuja showed that #Nigerian humanitarian actors are daily choosing collaboration over competition; solution-focused thinking over challenge-driven mindset. It is a real honour to convene this dynamic space with Save the Children Nigeria. This excellent highlight video from #HXAbuja by Pem Musa also captures not just the positivity in the space but also the essence of HX. A sincere thank you again to an amazing group of facilitators, coordinators, exhibitors and planning committees. Thank you Joseph Kolapo, HUSEYIN ARSLAN, Joshua Anar, BADAR Musa, Shahina B., Jennifer Dias, Mogbonjubade A., Timbut Gonji, Julius Joel Dzarma, PMD Pro; Pawel Mania, Duncan Harvey, Oana M., Raquel Tebaldi and many more amazing collaborators. #Locallyled #Collaboration #Localisation #Leadership #Partnership #Humanitarian #HumanitarianResponse #Nigeria

What a day!! #HXAbuja is a beautiful wrap! The overwhelmingly positive reflections from the amazing humans of HX Abuja reinforce the importance of convening spaces like #HumanitarianXchange! In his closing remarks, HUSEYIN ARSLAN, HLA's Senior Lead for Humanitarian Response and Leadership shared that "when we started this journey, our ambition was not simply to organise another conference. It was to create a space where people from different organisations, sectors, experiences, and communities could come together as equals—to listen, to connect, and to imagine a stronger humanitarian ecosystem for Nigeria." He added that "over the past two days, we have heard inspiring stories, exchanged practical solutions, celebrated innovation, and, perhaps most importantly, built new relationships. Participants' openness, willingness to share, to challenge ideas, and to learn from one another is what made HX Abuja truly meaningful." And this is exactly what Humanitarian Xchange represents. We say a massive thank you to Save the Children Nigeria colleagues for fantastic partnership and collaboration. Our gratitude extends to amazing panelists, volunteers, speakers, facilitators, exhibitors, participants - everyone who came together to make HX Abuja a resounding success. #Locallyled #localisation #humanitarian #youthled #NIGERIA #HumanitarianResponse #NigeriaResponse #Kaya #partnership #collectiveaction
