Please contribute to the pilot 'State of the System' opinion survey
ALNAP's first State of the System opinion survey, which seeks to gather sector-wide perceptions of the performance of humanitarian aid, is now open. All contributions are warmly welcomed.
This poll is part of a pilot mechanism to assess system-wide performance, a central goal of the Humanitarian Performance Project. The research will include the findings of the poll; an analysis of basic statistics on funding and numbers of aid workers; interviews with over one hundred purposively selected key informants; and a synthesis of issues and findings from recent evaluations and other humanitarian literature.
The State of the System report will be published in the autumn of 2009 and will provide a descriptive mapping of system-wide performance, a general performance assessment, and an analysis of major new developments in the humanitarian aid sector over the past three years since the Tsunami Evaluation Coalition published its findings. Subsequent State of the System reports will include perspectives from the recipients of aid, as well as analysis of system-wide impacts.
If you work in the aid system, at the international or national level, please do complete the survey online here. The poll is also available in French and Spanish.
