A Humanitarian Reset Has Started: It’s Time to Act on What We Already Know

In their commentary "A Humanitarian Reset Has Started: It’s Time to Act on What We Already Know", Julia Steets and Elias Sagmeister reflect on the effectiveness of the current humanitarian system. Drawing on decades of evaluation data from the UN-led humanitarian architecture, they argue that—despite justified criticism—the system largely works. Rather than developing new recommendations, the authors emphasize the need to implement what is already known. The commentary is published online by the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi).
