“Sadly, today, the humanitarian sector is one of the world’s biggest growth industries. Demand for the World Food Programme’s services is rising relentlessly, and this is happening right across the UN and the wider humanitarian system.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Cindy McCain, Executive Director, World Food Programme (WFP):
“And this is happening just as funding for humanitarian relief operations is drying up. At WFP, we have had to make the agonizing choice to cut food rations for millions of vulnerable people. More cuts are on the way. This is the humanitarian community’s new reality – our new normal - and we will be dealing with the fallout for years to come. But this does not mean we are powerless to end this human suffering. And history tells us that the private sector has a fundamental role to play.”

“If we are serious about tackling climate change, delivering decent sanitation, health, and housing, and opening up new education and employment opportunities – we need business on board. Private sector profitability can, and must, go hand-in-hand with the Sustainable Development Goals.”

“Globalization didn't just connect the world. It put the private sector at the geopolitical table, but that seat didn't come with a clear playbook. Today's global firms have responsibilities to our shareholders, to clients, to staff, to communities, and to the rules-based international order that makes it possible for us to do business.”

“The private sector cannot do what governments do. That's not what I'm suggesting. We are not. And we are also not substitutes for NGOs. That's also not what I'm suggesting. But business is part of the solution. And economic growth is the foundation of sustainable recovery.”

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Miebach, Chief Executive Officer, Mastercard:
“It is a shared belief that businesses cannot succeed in a failing world. Humanitarian crises impact our fellow citizens – and sometimes our colleagues. Hence, this work to support global stability and predictability does become personal.”

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Miebach, Chief Executive Officer, Mastercard:
“Coordination is key. Humanitarian relief has long been the domain of government, philanthropic, and development institutions. The private sector was seen as a source of financial donations for supplies and in-kind aid. That has changed. Money is important, but companies can offer so much more. The private sector stands ready to tackle the challenges at hand in partnership with the public sector. We can use our core competencies to strengthen the infrastructure, innovate new approaches, and deliver solutions at scale.”

“During the last two years, together with other like-minded countries or partners who have worked to explore untapped potential and available resources. We'll be happy to announce the establishment of the Private Sector Humanitarian Alliance, the coordination body to respond to humanitarian crises that will serve as a single-entry point for the private sector within the humanitarian architecture, including the United Nations.”

STORYLINE:
Addressing the Security Council meeting today (14 Sep) on advancing public-private humanitarian partnership, Cindy H. McCain, Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP), said, “Sadly, today, the humanitarian sector is one of the world’s biggest growth industries.”
She explained, “Demand for the World Food Programme’s services is rising relentlessly, and this is happening right across the UN and the wider humanitarian system.”
War, economic turmoil – and, increasingly, climate change and environmental degradation – are driving millions of people into poverty and despair each year.
Up to 783 million people do not know when – or if – they will eat again.
WFP estimates that nearly 47 million people in over 50 countries are in IPC phase 4: just one step from famine.
The number of children caught in starvation is overwhelming: 45 million under 5 years old are now estimated to have acute malnutrition.
According to the WFP Executive Director, concurrent and long-term crises will continue to fuel global humanitarian needs.
She noted, “And this is happening just as funding for humanitarian relief operations is drying up. At WFP, we have had to make the agonizing choice to cut food rations for millions of vulnerable people. More cuts are on the way. This is the humanitarian community’s new reality – our new normal - and we will be dealing with the fallout for years to come. But this does not mean we are powerless to end this human suffering. And history tells us that the private sector has a fundamental role to play.”
For McCain, the collective challenge is to ramp up the ambitious, multi-sectoral partnerships that will enable us to tackle hunger and poverty effectively and reduce humanitarian needs over the long term.
In the most fragile places – such as Somalia, which I visited in May – the private sector often keeps extremely vulnerable populations afloat.
Yet this also leaves them the most vulnerable to shocks like the war in Ukraine or sanctions regimes.
McCain then urged Member States to be resolute in using their powers and influence to create the broader conditions that will allow public-private partnerships to flourish.
She concluded, “If we are serious about tackling climate change, delivering decent sanitation, health, and housing, and opening up new education and employment opportunities – we need business on board. Private sector profitability can, and must, go hand-in-hand with the Sustainable Development Goals.”
Also addressing the Council today, Jared Cohen, President of Global Affairs and co-head of the Office of Applied Innovation at Goldman Sachs, stressed, “Globalization didn't just connect the world. It put the private sector at the geopolitical table, but that seat didn't come with a clear playbook.
