The Leading Edge Programme is a global initiative of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) with the active and committed participation of donor governments.

The Leading Edge Programme aims to foster year-round collaboration between networks & technical experts in crisis preparedness and response to identify common challenges and implement solutions.

The Leading Edge Programme builds on the philosophy of the Consultative Group for Emergency Preparedness and Response (CG) and the momentum created by the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week (HNPW) by bringing together best-in-class experts and organizations into an enabling environment.
