Our strategic approach to a changing world
We recognise the complexities and rapid pace of change in the humanitarian world, as well as increased expectations for change and improvement identified by the World Humanitarian Summit.
In this respect, our strategy is based upon simple rules which allow us to adapt to new demands and changing circumstances.
ALNAP will evolve using this strategy as a basis for making decisions to ensure we remain relevant and useful.
2024- 2026 Workplan
The ALNAP Secretariat produces an annual workplan comprising a programme of activities that aim to advance four strategic focus areas. The workplan is implemented by the Secretariat, with progress overseen by the ALNAP Steering Committee.
Over 2024–2026 ALNAP will continue work to ensure that the international humanitarian system benefits from the sector’s collective experience, knowledge and learning, and is better able to provide principled assistance and protection to the most vulnerable people who are affected by crises.
Between now and 2026, ALNAP will continue to focus its efforts on issues that resonate across all constituencies of the humanitarian sector and are critical to its improved performance.
