Flexibility

Humanitarian actors are responding to more complex situations, such as protracted conflict and high-risk cyclical natural disasters. They face continually changing, uncertain and long term crises, which is a stark contrast to the shorter term rapid-onset situations − such as flooding or earthquakes − that the humanitarian system was built around.

How can programmes adapt their response in the face of continual change and uncertainty? How can donors enable flexible funding to ensure organisations can adapt quickly? ALNAP's adaptiveness research project looks at the approaches that can help agencies more effectively respond to the shifting waves of need.

Evidence and resource allocation

A significant World Humanitarian Summit outcome, the Grand Bargain reforms aim to make the humanitarian system more financially efficient and fit for purpose. But these reforms cannot be successfully achieved without paying attention to how donors gather, use and share evidence and information.
