"There's no doubt there's a certain instinct involved in this, but the truth is most of us need to learn how to negotiate." — Gillian Triggs, Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

At the Centre of Competence on Humanitarian Negotiation (CCHN), we aim to create a community of humanitarians who share a passion for negotiation and want to learn how to do it better, together.

Hear from high-level humanitarian actors on the many reasons why humanitarians need to develop their negotiation skills and how the CCHN community can support them in this process.
