ALNAP: 8th Review of Humanitarian Action: Performance, Impact and Innovation

The 8th ALNAP Review of Humanitarian Action(RHA)is now available
in electronic form on the ALNAP website.

This edition presents three complementary studies on performance, impact and
innovation.

The first chapter on performance mechanisms is based on the ongoing work of the Humanitarian Performance Project and draws on experiences from the private, public and development sectors in order to locate current data collection initiatives within the current humanitarian performance agenda, as well as providing recommendations on how to improve performance mechanisms in the future.

The second chapter on impact assessments presents 4 case studies from ALNAP member agencies and provides a comprehensive framework to help plan for and implement impact assessments. The framework has already been presented at a number of different fora and used within a number of ALNAP member agencies with very positive reactions.

The third chapter on innovations is the first in-depth study of its type undertaken in the humanitarian system, and provides a way of thinking and promoting positive innovations across the sector. This study will be the substantive theme of the 25th ALNAP Meeting in London on November 17th/18th this year.

Finally the ALNAP website has now been substantially revamped!
