Field perspectives on the Grand Bargain

As part of a far reaching effort to reform the humanitarian system, Ground Truth Solutions is working with the OECD secretariat to track the way people affected by humanitarian crisis experience aid. The focus is on the changes agreed by signatories to the Grand Bargain at the World Humanitarian Summit in 2016. The views of humanitarian field staff are also included in the research.

We are currently tracking these indicators at regular intervals in our project together with the CHS Alliance.
