"The last year has brought unprecedented challenges: dramatic funding cuts, acceleration of disinformation as digital platforms have scaled back fact-checking and content moderation, proliferation of AI, widespread undermining of humanitarian law, and shrinking civic space. The impact on communities has been profound, leaving people in crises unsure whom to trust and preventing humanitarian organisations from providing even the most basic services. At the same time, affected communities are more connected and vocal than ever. They require not only access to information but also the agency to shape it. The need to listen to and engage with them has never been more urgent. The impact of these ongoing challenges further underscores the need to reinforce and amplify the space for community voices to be heard. The CDAC and fome Public Forum (10 December 2025) provides a space to address these challenges together. Building on a long tradition of bringing the most pressing issues of the time, it offers an opportunity to articulate shared principles and future commitments. Participants can use this framing paper as: a lens on the core issues currently at stake; questions to prompt dialogue at preparatory events, consultations, and in Bonn; a collective ‘call to action’ on information integrity in crises."
