This event has been scheduled to take place ahead of the NATO summit in Chicago where world leaders will gather to discuss Afghanistan. ‘Kabul calling’ will bring together panels in London and Kabul to provide an alternative agenda to the one in Chicago by focusing on the humanitarian implications of the withdrawal of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) from Afghanistan. Panellists will explore the humanitarian consequences of the troop drawdown; discuss how a political settlement can best be facilitated and what form it should take to secure the most favourable humanitarian outcome for the Afghan people; discuss what ‘transition’ will mean for Afghans.

There is an overwhelming consensus among humanitarian actors that access is becoming more difficult: attacks on aid workers are increasing; aid is becoming more politicised; respect for humanitarian principles and humanitarian law is declining. In other words, humanitarian space is 'shrinking'. This event, to mark the launch of HPG Report 'Humanitarian Space: a review of trends and issues', critically discusses this dominant narrative and asks whether many of the problems faced today are not only familiar when compared with what has gone before, but in many respects are as much a consequence of expanding humanitarian engagement.
