First Full State of the Humanitarian System Report Released by ALNAP
Published on 17 July 2012
In London, UK on Wednesday July 4, ALNAP (the Active Learning Network for Accountability and Performance in humanitarian action) launched the first ever State of the Humanitarian System report. This major new document represents “an ambitious snapshot of the entire humanitarian system” and follows on from the pilot study released in 2010.
The report aims to define and profile the humanitarian sector and its actors in order to assess its performance in responding to crises and emergencies in the period 2009-10. Its conclusions derive from a large number of interviews conducted with humanitarian professionals from NGOs, donors, governments and many other actors as well as a small survey of aid beneficiaries in Uganda, Haiti, Pakistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Emergency Capacity Building (ECB) Project is mentioned a number of times in the report, especially in reference to the work that ECB agencies have undertaken on Joint Needs Assessment (JNA) in partnership with the Assessment Capacities Project (ACAPS).
The full State of the Humanitarian System report is now available to download on the ALNAP website and is supported by additional video and audio content including footage taken at the London launch event and a downloadable podcast.
