Shaping the future: Our strategy for research and innovation in humanitarian response.
Throughout October, our colleagues will be attending, speaking, and presenting at international conferences. We provide more details on each event, along with links to related Elrha-funded projects and resources. Some events are in-person, others are online or hybrid—you can register via the links provided. If you’re attending, please stop by and say hello.
Join us for a one hour webinar bringing together experts to take stock of MHM in humanitarian response. Experts from the sector will reflect on their field experiences of delivering MHM in different humanitarian settings, examine what we have learned since this research was funded about cross-sectoral best practice, and the outstanding challenges and knowledge gaps for mainstreaming MHM in emergencies.
As part of this year’s Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks (HNPW) we will be hosting an online webinar showcasing a series of innovations in Protection Sector programming in gender-based violence and inclusion of people with disability and older people. Our aim is to showcase the innovations we’ve supported – to bring these new ideas and emerging best practices to a wide audience of humanitarians working in protection, inclusion and GBV programming, as well as technical advisors, and donors.
Join us to launch a major new report on the shape and role of research and innovation within the humanitarian system. The global launch will feature a panel discussion and will provide an overview of the current state of the humanitarian research and innovation ecosystem, presenting the principal findings and recommendations gathered from two years of global research and consultation. The event is open to all to attend, however if you are a humanitarian actor, donor, researcher, innovator or practitioner this event could provide specific insights that could inform what you fund, how best to prioritise HRI agenda, and your topical areas of research.
Join us and our partners for a series of regional events where we explore the role of humanitarian research and innovation (HRI) at multiple levels in developing culturally and contextually appropriate responses. We will share insights from consultations examining the perceptions of regional and national humanitarian actors, and shed light on priority topics and areas that need HRI attention. The events are open to all to register and attend, however if you are a humanitarian actor, donor, researcher, innovator or practitioner these events could provide specific regional insights that could inform what you fund, how best to prioritize and topical areas of research.
Having been in operation for a decade, our Research for Health in Humanitarian Crisis (R2HC) programme has produced a collection of detailed case studies documenting the impacts of completed research studies on humanitarian policy and practice. In this 90-minute webinar we brought together experts from the humanitarian research, policy and practice sector to examine the lessons learned from the case studies and from their own experiences on the research-to-practice pathway.
Join us for a webinar series where we will be showcasing a range of Elrha-funded innovations in humanitarian gender-based violence programming. If you are a donor, innovator or practitioner, this series could inform you of what to fund, how best to innovate, and how to adopt new innovations.
The “WASH in Humanitarian Crises: Setting the research agenda up to 2030” serves as a guide for researchers, humanitarian practitioners and funding agencies, providing a prioritised list of research questions that, when answered, will contribute to improved WASH policy and practice in humanitarian crises.
We hosted a webinar on Wednesday, 4 September 2024, to launch our report: “Research Priorities for Non-Communicable Diseases in Humanitarian Crises: Focus on Cardio-Metabolic Syndrome”. The event shared key findings from the report and heard from experts representing the research, practice and patient communities for NCDs in humanitarian settings.
Join us for a new In Focus series, to discuss the findings and recommendations of a new rapid review, published by Humanitarian Outcomes, In Focus: The role of the humanitarian sector in navigating ethical decisions in Afghanistan.
As part of this year’s Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks (HNPW) we will be hosting a hybrid event to share emerging findings from our flagship initiative, the Global Prioritisation Exercise (GPE).
Join us for a virtual discussion on the findings and recommendations of this review published by Humanitarian Outcomes, Slipping Away? A review of humanitarian capabilities in cholera response. This review is supported by the UK Humanitarian Innovation Hub, and funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
To address the need for more evidence of what works to support MHPSS programming in humanitarian settings, a priority research agenda taking us to 2030 has been developed by key MHPSS stakeholders. The result is a list of 20 most critical research questions to support MHPSS response. We shared these results with a community of practice at a webinar on 17 January 2023.
