🌟 Our Ugochi Cynthia Abazie, Global Programme Manager, is one of the nominees for the 2026 CHS Alliance Governing Board!
Cynthia is a human rights lawyer and humanitarian practitioner, bringing a rights‑based perspective grounded in field experience, alongside a deep commitment to safeguarding (PSEAH) and accountability to affected populations. At a time when trust in the humanitarian sector is eroding, she sees the CHS as more critical than ever as a credible, inclusive, system‑wide framework to ensure principled humanitarian action.
She aims to amplify the voices of crisis affected communities, advance the Grand Bargain commitments and localization, and help translate standards into practice through stronger partnerships and sector‑wide learning.
“My goal is to support the CHS Alliance 2026 to 2030 strategic cycle by strengthening accountability to affect the population's, driving continuous improvements particularly around CHS due diligence, passporting and promoting a more locally-led and inclusive humanitarian system.”
We encourage all CHS Alliance members to support her candidacy and we wish Cynthia best of luck in the election! 👏
