Global Humanitarian Lab

GHL is a cross-sector partnership of leading humanitarian organisations working together to tackle common challenges, envisions more efficient, effective and sustainable humanitarian action as a result of forward-thinking, locally-driven, and globally integrated ecosystem in which innovation can flourish. We bring together affected populations, humanitarians, and the public and private sectors with the shared goal of scaling effective, efficient and ethical solutions to common humanitarian challenges, such as improving the efficiency of humanitarian response, empowering local actors and affected populations to innovate and launch their own solutions, and restore dignity to survivors of humanitarian crises. We’re currently focused on enabling bottom-up innovation, finding ways to accelerate the development and launch of promising ideas and solutions, and facilitating a process to forecast and chart the the coming challenges faced by the humanitarian sector.
