The ALNAP State of the Humanitarian System report is the most comprehensive effort to date to assess the performance and the progress of the International Humanitarian System.

For the first time the size, shape, resources and overall performance of the international humanitarian system has been assessed and synthesised into a single study. The pilot State of the Humanitarian System report provides those within and outside the sector the opportunity to examine how well the system has performed in the past few years, and highlights key areas for improvement going forward.

ALNAP Full Members will receive a number of hard copies of the report later this week. ALNAP Observer Members wishing to receive a hard copy should contact c.hadkiss@alnap.org

The report is available to download here and will be formally launched in the UK at the British Academy, London on 9th February 2010. For further information about the report or to register your attendance at the launch, please contact j.harris@alnap.org
