Support to ODI-HPG Integrated Programme 2022-2024

The ODI Humanitarian Policy Group project examines how the humanitarian sector can engage with social and political dynamics influencing humanitarian assistance through their new Integrated Programme. Through the integrated programme the Humanitarian Policy Group seeks to explore five research projects from various angles to examine how the humanitarian sector can engage with the social and political dynamics that influence humanitarian assistance. Project activities include: (1) designing the research approach and methodology through a comprehensive scoping and refining process; (2) producing and publishing in-depth research through literature reviews and case studies in partnership with key actors; and (3) developing final reports and recommendations and communicating findings through policy engagement with key programme and policy actors.

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) improved humanitarian policy and practice through a combination of high-quality analysis dialogue and debate; (2) ensured contributions to humanitarian aid is as responsive and relevant as possible; (3) developed the ability to inform ongoing discussions and learning in refugee policy. This includes upholding the commitments to social inclusion in the Global Compact on Refugees and forging stronger links across triple-nexus practitioners; and (4) identified opportunities where the humanitarian protection community can strengthen their understanding of their support for community engagement strategies and facilitate advocacy.by aid organizations and government allies.
