In order to advance the goals of the Good Humanitarian Donorship (GHD) initiative, donor
governments agreed to develop domestic strategies for ensuring the implementation of the
GHD Principles and Good Practice.The current Chair of GHD, the Government of Canada,
requested a brief external review of the available strategies, focusing on areas of
complementarity between them, identification of possible gaps, timeframes for delivery, and
whether and how these strategies bring donors closer to the goals of GHD.
