📢 Introducing HPG's Integrated Programme for 2024-2027 – Collective action in crises: rights, resilience and reform. Our world is rapidly changing, and new risks are emerging. That's why over the coming years we'll be focusing on three flagship research topics to complement our existing research portfolio, which address the ever-changing humanitarian landscape and put into sharp focus the importance of collective action. Our projects will focus on: 💡 The lives and livelihoods of urban internally displaced persons (IDPs) 💡 State-led crisis response 💡 Gendered norms and protection risks: victims, perpetrators and agents of change? Our Integrated Programme also includes work to remodel the Humanitarian Practice Network to become a knowledge platform focused more on national humanitarian practice, as well as HPG’s ongoing work on crisis response.

Interest and engagement in Humanitarian Innovative Finance (HIF) is growing because it provides significant untapped potential to facilitate new solutions to vulnerability in fragile contexts. This is crucial as current humanitarian funding models are insufficient to address the accelerating scale, complexity and protracted nature of crises. In advance of the Grand Bargain discussions this week, HPG and ODI’s review finds that HIF is one important tool for bringing new resourcing for new solutions to these persistent, and growing, challenges.

📺 WATCH: What role does the state play in humanitarian response? Our new three-year workstream aims to reinvigorate discussions about the state’s role in crisis response, including engagement on conditions where domestic and international humanitarian actors can work more coherently with the state. So far we have explored questions and issues including: ‣Are humanitarian organisations anti-state? ‣Do humanitarians undermine civil society? ‣De facto authorities and humanitarian system implications Find out more and keep up to date with this critical work: https://lnkd.in/epWPd79J #CollectiveActionInCrises #HumanitarianResponse #StateLed | Dustin Barter | Alexandra Spencer | Zainab Moallin | John Bryant

🚨 ICYMI: We recently published the findings of a two-year research project on reducing violence and strengthening the protection of civilians through community dialogue with armed actors. Civilians are not passive actors in conflict, and too often, current protection approaches are not adequately geared towards supporting communities in securing their own efforts to reduce violence and strengthen their safety. Our research, led by Gemma Davies, Véronique Barbelet and Leigh Mayhew, unpacks some key implications including: 1. Reducing violence must become a core part of protection action. 2. Communities can, and do, influence the behaviour of armed actors including through dialogue. 3. Momentum is building among humanitarian protection actors to more systematically seek to prevent violence and strengthen the safety of civilians, but efforts must be made to ensure this progress isn’t lost due to a lack of commitment, ambition or collaboration. 4. Humanitarian actors cannot reduce violence and strengthen then protection of civilians alone. Greater complementarity across humanitarian-protection-peacebuilding actors is required to effectively reduce violence. 5. Donors can help shift practice by incentivising approaches to protection that seek to reduce violence at their core.

Does humanitarian funding distort civil society activity away from pursuing justice to instead focus on relief? As (unaccountable) atrocities escalate globally, what next for civil society and the state? We've just published our 3rd and final piece on state-led crisis response: an excellent analysis by Zainab, examining the intersections between civil society actors and the state, drawing on examples from #Gaza, #Myanmar, #Philippines and #Somalia. Lots of food for thought as we pursue humanitarian systems change, with a focus on state-led crisis response over the next 3 years.

JUST PUBLISHED: A new piece from HPG's Zainab Moallin explores the often controversial relationships between the state, civil society and humanitarian actors, and how they shape responses to crises. Drawing on examples from #Somalia, #Philippines and #Gaza, Moallin unpacks the dynamic between the state and civil society, and asks how this interplay unfolds across different countries and regions, and how does the humanitarian sector influence or shape these interactions? Or conversely, how does the relationship between the state and civil society impact humanitarian systems? Read on 👉 https://lnkd.in/eTiXQGcy #CivilSociety #HumanitarianAction #CrisisResponse

🆕 NEW REPORT: Reducing violence and strengthening the protection of civilians through community dialogue with armed actors. 🌍 Globally, we are witnessing more and more fragmented situations of violence and conflict, egregious abuses against civilians, increasing levels of humanitarian need, and decreasing resources. Alternative approaches are urgently required to reduce violence and strengthen civilian safety – including supporting civilian-led efforts and engaging with armed actors. 📝 Our final report, led by Gemma Davies, Véronique Barbelet and Leigh Mayhew, synthesises findings from over two years of research and consultations with a broad spectrum of over 750 people. We sought to understand how communities engage in dialogue with armed actors; what factors, actions and actors affect the terms of engagement; and what the opportunities, challenges and risks are for greater complementarity between humanitarian, protection and peacebuilding actors. 🔗 Learn more about pathways to greater humanitarian–protection–peacebuilding collaboration 👉 https://lnkd.in/evAAt9Yr #ViolenceReduction #CommunityDialogue #ArmedActors #HumanitarianAction #NewReport | Nonviolent Peaceforce, World Food Programme, Norwegian Refugee Council, International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC
