Humanitarian emergencies can happen anywhere, at any time, to anyone. How we respond is critical.
Established in 2009, we are a global community of practice that connects in a neutral space to exchange knowledge and shape solutions to deliver aid more effectively.
What we do
Innovative logistics solutions that deliver aid more swiftly
We are a catalyst for change, helping the aid sector move from evolution to transformation. We are informed enablers who use our knowledge and experience to effectively connect supply with demand, support market transparency and reduce waste.
Neutrality
Humanitarian aid must not favour any side in an armed conflict or other dispute.
Humanity
Human suffering must be addressed wherever it is found, with particular attention to the most vulnerable.
Impartiality
Humanitarian aid must be provided solely on the basis of need, without discrimination.
Universality
Equal status and share of responsibilities and duties in helping each other. Solidarity with regard to decision-making regardless of size or wealth.
