Platform for Development Organisations – Ambrela responded to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine with a two-day international conference – Ambrela Development Forum (ADF) – held on 23–24 May in Bratislava. With more than 140 international development experts from 23 countries, it analysed the effects of this crisis in 5 discussion panels, 3 interactive workshops and side events, and sought solutions as well as recommendations for the humanitarian and development sector at national and EU level. The ADF conference focused not only on the development finance, innovations and migration aspects, but also on emphasising the importance and the role of civil society in today’s world.
