HERE-Geneva

HERE (Humanitarian Exchange and Research Centre) is an independent think-tank which has as its mission to contribute to closing the gap between policy and humanitarian practice, through:

Research: we document and analyse the gaps that we see in humanitarian responses on the ground.

Engagement: we have a large network within the humanitarian community and connect and engage a number of these actors in dialogues on policy and practice or in research projects.

Messages: we deliver reports and studies with clear and consistent messages on what actions humanitarian actors (and others) need to take to improve the effectiveness of humanitarian response.

This month we are continuing to explore the comparative advantages of different organisational "mandates" for effective humanitarian action on the ground. We are also working on practical guidance on principled humanitarian action with regard to access, decision-making; and accountability.

Join us on 19 June for a discussion on Where it Matters. The event, taking place on the eve of the humanitarian segment of ECOSOC, will be a chance to hear about the perspectives of humanitarian organisations like the ICRC, MSF and NRC, as well as donors, and to discuss the tangible steps that can be taken to overcome them.
