Humanitarian Innovation
Overview
The Humanitarian Impact Institute helps clients assess and embed innovation practices into organisational structures and processes, including disruptive innovations.
The humanitarian and development sectors are experiencing a global reduction in funding and the politicisation of aid budgets towards national security interests. At the same time, donors and stakeholders are demanding a more localised industry and this is transforming expectations of all actors.
In this resource constrained and localising context, innovation processes are critical.
Innovation structures are critical for them to become self sustaining, and HII will apply innovation theory to ensure the foundations are set for each individual innovation in your organisation and set it up for success. This includes the piloting and testing phases prior to scaling.
Humanitarian Innovation & Localisation Review
Save the Children engaged the Humanitarian Impact Institute on behalf of the CCD Network to conduct a Localisation Pilot Review in Ukraine, authored by Nathaniel Logan and Nil Turksen.
This report assessed CCD’s pilot program across Ukraine, Poland, and Romania led by Save the Children UK with partners ACTION CONTRE LA FAIM (Action Against Hunger), Folkekirkens Nødhjælp (DanChurchAid), and Save the Children International (Ukraine) and funded by the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC). The pilot explored localisation strategies to boost the impact of humanitarian cash programming in emergency contexts.
The report combines both innovation theory and localisation lenses into a review of humanitarian program efficacy. The Review assessed five localisation cash delivery models, identifying actionable opportunities and successes for scaling localisation in future responses.
