A co-created campaign to shape a more inclusive, equitable, and effective humanitarian learning architecture, fit for the future

Welcome to New Learning Landscapes — a positive campaign launched by ALNAP in response to the loss of learning and the threats to our knowledge ecosystem that have accelerated since the 2025 funding crisis.

At a time where learning is more important than ever, we are encouraging humanitarians to emerge from survival mode to join a new movement to stabilise, protect, enable, co-create and expand a humanitarian knowledge architecture.

Why is this crucial?

In 2025, we counted the cost of what the humanitarian sector has lost. This year, we write a different story. We have a vital window to surface fresh approaches, champion new voices, and challenge the status quo.

It’s time to recognise what came before and build something new, good, and lasting.

Tell your story

Knowledge has always shaped humanitarian work. We want to hear where it made a difference for you.

What is a great example you have seen, or even been involved with, where learning has made a vital difference in the planning and delivery of humanitarian work?

The Development Initiatives Archival Collection is live!

We’re in a moment where humanitarian learning is under real threat. In 2024, Development Initiatives (DI) shut down operations. When their website went offline for a period this made the retrieval of resources a priority for us in 2025. Over the past several months, together with former DI staffers, ALNAP has co-created this new archive.

Check out the collection

With ALNAP as convenor, New Learning Landscapes is an authentic, accountable, and measured response to the loss-of-learning crisis facing our sector. We will keep updating this page.
