France's Humanitarian Strategy (2018-2022): Renewed Ambition to Meet the Challenge of Current Crises (Exec Summary)

France’s humanitarian strategy (2018-2022) has three main pillars: promoting respect for International Humanitarian Law within international structures: increasing resources and employing them more effectively; and integrating humanitarian action into an approach that aims to resolve crises durably. The three main pillars are broken down into 15 commitments. This executive summary provides an overview of the mid-term review documents and progress made so far. It looks in particular at the 15 commitments, taking stock of the results obtained and the difficulties encountered two years on. It also aims to identify emerging issues that the strategy may not cover fully.
