  3. “We are happy and proud of what we have achieved so far, together with Schmidt Futures and other partners, including the founding members of the alliance and a number of representatives here in attendance. Throughout our work on that platform, we have been thrilled to see the level of generosity and motivation of major private sector companies and philanthropies. We believe that advancing the idea of a public-private humanitarian partnership is not only necessary, but the right thing to do. We look forward to the consolidation of the alliance and its work in the months and years ahead for the benefit of a better response to the growing needs worldwide. By working together, we can maximize the impact of assistance, save more lives and build resilient communities in the face of adversity. I resume my functions as President of the Council.”

  4. “Albania has worked hard with its partners, and in particular Schmidt Futures, to explore the new idea and how public-private humanitarian partnerships can be advanced by building the private sector humanitarian alliance. The alliance is conceived of as a platform whose primary mission will be to mobilize resources more efficiently within the first few days of any crisis situation that requires humanitarian aid. It will connect private sector and philanthropy actors to international organizations, or non-governmental organizations, so that the necessary aid can flow through their existing channels and mechanisms within the crucial first days — all of which will be done in full compliance with the United Nations principles of humanitarian aid and those of all its crisis-response agencies.”

  5. “Cohen was personally involved in all those efforts — we managed to conceive of a new model for humanitarian operations that did not simply enable us to provide accommodations, food and care for our Afghan guests but, I believe, also provided us with an out-of-the-box idea on how crisis management and humanitarian aid can work if public and private actors join forces. During our humanitarian operations, we saw first-hand how efficient the private sector can be in providing humanitarian assistance and essential logistical support in a timely manner, if we partner up with them. It was from that experience that the idea for a public-private humanitarian partnership was born.”

  6. “My country is a small country that lacks the resources and infrastructure needed to provide shelter in dignified conditions for such a large number of people. However, what we lacked in resources we made up by adopting a new approach to humanitarian crisis management that aimed to create synergies between our public resources and those of private actors in order to provide for thousands of desperate people. Working closely with Schmidt Futures and the Yalda Hakim Foundation — Mr.”

  7. “As the Security Council and the United Nations address accelerating humanitarian needs in conflict zones or in areas affected by natural disasters, we believe that it is imperative that we find ways to strengthen the role of the private sector in humanitarian operations. Albania also believes that it is imperative that we identify the most problematic gaps and key areas for improvement in crisis response while, at the same time, exploring the mechanisms through which the role of corporations or philanthropies in the crisis response ecosystem can be formalized. Albania first started exploring the possibility of greater involvement by the private sector in humanitarian operations in a genuine crisis setting. As is well known and was mentioned earlier, beginning in 2021, Albania welcomed thousands of Afghan women, men and children.”

  8. “It is not only material resources such as funds, food and medicine that the private sector can contribute to that important effort, which has a newfound urgency in the context of the war in Ukraine and the disruption in food supplies that the war has produced. The private sector can also assist by offering access to cutting-edge technology, research and development and operational capabilities. With the private sector’s expertise and capabilities in fields such as logistics, telecommunications, transport and data analysis, humanitarian actors will gain improved efficiency and effectiveness in their response efforts.”

  9. “In its mid-year review of the Global Humanitarian Overview 2023, the United Nations assessed that nearly $55 billion is required to assist 249 million people in need. Despite continued generosity and resource mobilization efforts, the current gap between what is needed and what is available through donor contributions is huge. But that is not a new phenomenon. Year after year, crisis after crisis, we are faced with a shortage of funds and available aid, despite the generosity of donors. It is a shortage that has immense consequences for millions upon millions of people affected by conflict, natural catastrophes, climate change and the food- security crisis. We believe that a greater and more structured contribution by the private sector can go a long way to addressing that pressing shortfall.”

  10. “I thank Mr. Miebach for his briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Albania. I would like to thank the Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP), Ms. McCain, for her comprehensive presentation. I applaud her personal commitment to the cause and the extraordinarily important work that the WFP is doing in these challenging times. I also want to thank Mr. Cohen and Mr. Miebach. We commend them for their personal work in the field of philanthropy and humanitarian assistance, and we are also grateful for their involvement and contribution to the initiative that we are gathered here to discuss. The world is facing an unprecedented level of humanitarian need, driven by conflict, climate change and the enduring impact of the coronavirus disease.”
