Humanitarian reform in Iraq, Uganda and Somalia
We believe global humanitarian reform begins in places affected by disasters, not in global capitals. That’s why we want to understand how people affected by crisis experience humanitarian action – and help humanitarian actors change course as a result.
Understanding the impact of Covid-19 on cash and voucher assistance
Covid-19 has sparked an economic crisis that will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable members of society, particularly in humanitarian contexts.

Reducing the risks of abuse of power by financial service providers
Humanitarian cash programming comes with inherent risks. With its increased use, organisations are rightly becoming more attuned to barriers and challenges that affected populations face. This includes abuses of power by financial service providers as well as the ability to voice complaints and share feedback.
