Supporting Innovation in Humanitarian Organisations: ALNAP workshop report

Excerpt: "The need to pay increased attention to the promotion of innovations in humanitarian action has been recognised across the system in recent years. The nature of humanitarian assistance is such that agencies must focus on immediate efforts to extend assistance to populations in need, but this should not be seen as an argument for risk aversion or conservatism. Instead, agencies should be actively seeking-out new approaches and ways of working that increase their operational performance."
