Global Prioritisation Exercise for Research and Innovation in the Humanitarian System: Phase One Mapping
This report provides a baseline of global humanitarian research and innovation activity as viewed through published outputs during 2016-2017
Abstract
The Global Prioritisation Exercise (GPE) was formed in response to the challenge articulated at the World Humanitarian Summit to ‘harness the transformative powers of science and technology’ for improved humanitarian outcomes. Led by Elrha, GPE is a new global effort to map research and innovation capacities and to consult and identify clear priorities for research and innovation for humanitarian action. Bringing together the major funders of research and innovation, the humanitarian community, and countries and communities affected by crisis, the aim is for the GPE to bring greater visibility and coordination of research and innovation efforts and leverage greater resources for the sector.
The GPE began in 2017 and consists of 3 phases:
-
Phase 1: Global Mapping - Initial mapping report and database of existing humanitarian research and innovation investments and strategies.
-
Phase Two: Global Consultation - Production of a report series identifying evidence gaps, thematic priorities, and research mechanisms
-
Phase Three: Synthesis and Advocacy - Development of policy recommendations, shared via a final synthesis report and global advocacy plan
The Phase 1 report provides a detailed baseline of global humanitarian research and innovation activity as viewed through published outputs during 2016-2017. The data presented reveals not only the range of thematic, technical and geographic focus of activity during this period, but also maps the numerous Funders and Actors active in this space.
