WHS Thematic Team paper

This paper presents an initial analysis of how humanitarian agencies can systematically enhance the way that they engage with the communities they seek to assist.
This paper was used as a source for synthesised recommendations used in the Briefing Papers for the Global Forum on Improving Humanitarian Action, taking place in New York on 4/5 June 2015.
The Briefing Papers are intended to provide a general background to the key obstacles that inhibit good, effective humanitarian action, and the recommendations that have been put forward around the WHS process to address these obstacles.
