This collection of four articles is part of the study undertaken by Chatham House of the factors that determine whether and how engagement with non-state armed groups (NSAGs) for humanitarian purposes can be made more effective, safe and sustainable.

The initiative is intended to provide input to the 2016 World Humanitarian Summit and to generate both political support and practical policy options in order to increase the effectiveness of humanitarian action in conflict through improving engagement and interaction with NSAGs.
