Launched in 2020, the Community-Led Innovation Partnership (CLIP) programme is a collaboration initiative that has brought together a group of like-minded humanitarian innovation actors, to explore how communities can be placed at the heart of the humanitarian response. In April 2023, the first phase of the CLIP officially came to an end and — with the support of Catalystas Consulting who have carried out an external evaluation — we have now taken some time to pause, look back, and reflect on the past three years. As we are about to embark on the next two years of this programme, what have we achieved, what have we learnt so far?
