Standardising humanitarian data for a better response: The Humanitarian eXchange Language

ALNAP and ELRHA will be looking at 15 different examples of humanitarian innovation funded by ELRHA’s Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) grants. Each case study will explore the dynamics of successful innovation processes, culminating in a unique and in-depth study on innovation in humanitarian action.

This case study explores how OCHA led the innovation process in developing and testing HXL, a data standard which aims to facilitate the exchange and merging of data across agencies to create a more complete and accurate operational picture of a crisis.
