Elrha, Global Alliance for Humanitarian Innovation (GAHI)

The Global Alliance of Humanitarian Innovation (GAHI) was launched at the World Humanitarian Summit (WHS) in Istanbul in June 2016. The overall aim was to address the innovation needs in the sector that could not be effectively tackled by individual actors and organisations working on their own. Unfortunately, GAHI never achieved its full ambition of the initiating partners and was closed down in May 2019. This report presents the main lessons learned from GAHI's life cycle - from its initial conceptual phase until the discontinuation of the organisation.
