  • Neutrality, Access, and Making Localisation Work

    Neutrality, Access, and Making Localization Work

    What role does neutrality play in humanitarian access and supporting localization efforts? The report "Neutrality, Access, and Making Localisation Work" initiated by H2H Member Global Interagency Security Forum (GISF) and co-authored by the H2H Head of Outreach and Engagement, Emmanuel Tronc, explores the complications surrounding the humanitarian principle of neutrality. It focuses on the intersection of neutrality with humanitarian access and acceptance-based strategies, which aim to ensure aid reaches and is willingly received by target communities. The paper also examines how collaborations between local and international organizations can improve acceptance, but may complicate perceptions of neutrality.

    Joint Statement on Humanitarian Data, Information Management, and Analysis

    Humanitarian data, Information Management (IM), assessments, and analysis are fundamental to the effective planning, delivery, and accountability of humanitarian aid. The decisions based on these data impact millions of people affected by crises. It is critical these decisions are grounded in an informed and impartial understanding of needs and context, ensuring that the humanitarian narrative is driven by evidence rather than political agendas. As specialised H2H organisations committed to providing independent data and analysis, we welcome the increased focus on these issues, particularly within OCHA’s review of its IM and analysis functions. This is an important opportunity to strengthen the sector, and we encourage OCHA to recognise and enhance the role of technical partners in fostering collaboration, partnership, and joint ownership.

  • Toward local humanitarian engagement: Reflections on engaging local partners in hard-to-reach areas

    The humanitarian sector has begun to recognise the significance of shifting operational decision making and leadership to local and national partners, albeit slowly. This report highlights some of the key experiences of national and international humanitarian professionals with partnerships and localisation and their reflections on them. Several key themes emerge, including the lack of conceptual clarity about localisation and its ambitions; the absence of a unified vision and voice on whether and how to implement approaches; localisation as a topdown policy priority that may not translate well in the field; and donors’ failure to revise their internal processes to allow more risk taking and more direct funding to go to national actors despite their ambitions to do so.

    The H2H Network Strategy 2022-2025

    This strategy seeks to distil from consultation with the membership and other stakeholders, the central network functions1 that the H2H network aims to fulfil in the next three years, and the focus areas that will contribute to this. To further guide our action, we have developed a set of simple rules2 for each priority area of the strategy, to aid decision making in the face of strategic choices and changes in the external context. Finally, we have outlined what success will look like at the end of the period, to aid measurement and accountability.

    Findings from the systematic review of evaluations by H2H Network member organisations

    This systematic review assessed the evidence of the Humanitarian to Humanitarian (H2H) organisation model’s effectiveness in action; its alignment with the broad strategic aims of the network; and, its contribution to humanitarian action globally. To conduct this review, Bodhi Global Analysis systematically reviewed the H2H body of evidence - in the form of documentation and key informant interviews (KIIs) - against the Review Questions (RQs). Assessment utilised a systematic quantitative document review (against RQs and internal/external criteria), and qualitative synthesis.

  • H2H MEAL Model and Guide

    In the complex ecosystem of international humanitarian actors, ‘global humanitarian services’ (HGS) offer specialised technical services to other humanitarian actors with the intention of strengthening the quality and/or accountability of humanitarian action. Monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning (MEAL) models available to HGS actors are often unsuitable because they are devised for humanitarian response activities. The six elements synthesize this material and are intended as a starting point for developing further tailored MEAL solutions and future iterations. It is a working document, designed to be adapted to H2H organizations' resources, capacities and ambition.
