This report, commissioned under ALNAP’s Humanitarian Performance Project, is the most comprehensive effort to date to assess the performance and the progress of the International Humanitarian System. The Humanitarian Outcomes research team including CIC non-resident fellow Abby Stoddard and Victoria DiDomenico synthesised the findings of roughly 500 global survey responses, 100 recent evaluations, 89 interviews, staffing and budget information of over 200 aid organisations and a financial analysis of global humanitarian aid flows. The report defines key criteria for assessing system performance and progress and analyzes these criteria over the past two years. The report provides previously unavailable statistics on the system and highlights new initiatives in policy and practice.
