This report synthesises the available evidence on existing approaches to people-centred humanitarian action and their outcomes, and it reviews good practices.

A shrinking humanitarian marketplace: Time for better regulation, Damian Lilly, Mark Bowden, CHA, 2024
Humanitarian organisations are in the business of saving lives, not making a profit. Nevertheless, the humanitarian system does display characteristics of an economic marketplace.

« Prevention is better than cure.” Accountable and people-centred anticipatory action in Chad, Ground Truth Solutions, H2H Network, CRASH, 2024
To support humanitarian organisations to facilitate more effective and people-centred anticipatory action programs, Ground Truth Solutions, in collaboration with the Centre de Recherche en Anthropologie et Sciences Humaines (CRASH), conducted research on community perceptions, preferences and priorities on anticipatory action. This work aims to support the design and revision of anticipatory action programs related to both pluvial and fluvial floods. The findings highlight the existence of community-based anticipatory action systems rooted in traditional knowledge, and the strength of mutual aid and solidarity.
