HPG Integrated Programme proposal 2013-15 - The changing humanitarian landscape

This is the eleventh Integrated Programme (IP) of work proposed
for funding by the Humanitarian Policy Group (HPG) at the Overseas Development Institute (ODI). The projects presented here constitute the core of HPG’s research work in 2013–15, combining policy-relevant research and engagement, humanitarian practice, academic engagement and a vigorous and extensive public affairs programme of events, conferences and media work.
HPG’s overall aim is to inform and inspire principled humanitarian policy and practice and enhance the effectiveness of humanitarian action in saving lives and alleviating suffering.
The research agenda proposed here is the result of a process of horizon- scanning, consultation and scoping research. While each Integrated Programme aims to build upon the strengths of previous years, they are also designed to capture the emerging concerns of humanitarian actors and respond to new trends. Adding to the expertise of the HPG team, consultations during the Advisory Group meeting in December 2012 and discussions with HPG partners contributed to the selection of the new research topics. Preliminary literature reviews were used to shape outline proposals, which have been commented upon by members of HPG’s Advisory Group and other experts
