OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The humanitarian sector is increasingly challenged in its ability to meet growing humanitarian needs. In contexts of protracted fragility, repeated cycles of crisis are eventually resulting in the degradation of critical infrastructure, which impedes the delivery of essential services such as water and electricity. Greater efforts are needed to strengthen the resilience of essential services in these contexts; however, strengthening resilience first requires a holistic, systems-level understanding of how the systems work and how they are influenced by external factors. This talk presents the application of a systems mapping approach in Venezuela and the Gaza Strip* to assess the delivery of essential services and identify potential resilience-building interventions. *pre-October 2023
