Introduction

The 26th ALNAP Meeting will focus on the relationship between the international humanitarian system and national governments. Building on existing and new research by ALNAP and others, the meeting will bring together a range of key humanitarian and government actors with the specific aim of exploring better ways of collaborating in disaster response. The goal of the meeting will be to outline a distinct set of contextually relevant collaborative strategies and principles for how the ‘formal’ humanitarian system and national governments might work together, and to get a shared commitment to using these strategies and principles in future disasters.
