Poised for a Breakthrough? A Review of Significant Findings and Trends in Humanitarian Action

To encourage continued awareness of current issues in disaster response, World Vision recently undertook an exercise to review key findings and trends in humanitarian action. This analysis explores current concerns expressed through a series of global initiatives set up to assess priority issues for humanitarian agencies. These issues appear as consistent themes across a number of reports and review processes designed to identify lessons, and determine humanitarian implications of ‘what went well’ and ‘what went less well’, with proposed recommendations for change.
