How does the sector learn?

A contingent of European journalists listen to a local liaison officer working with Relief Hope Recovery (GOA), one of several partners of the European Commission’s Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid department (ECHO) at Rhino refugee settlement.

What have been the most significant changes in the humanitarian sector, and how did learning contribute to these changes?

Our work on systemic learning aims to understand the different forms that humanitarian organisational learning has taken over the last two decades, and how, if at all, such learning contributes to change and improvement in the humanitarian enterprise. 

We hope that by providing useful insights into how and when organisations and individuals across the sector learn effectively, we can promote the use of learning to meaningfully improve humanitarian response.
