Rapid Response Research

We are committed to facilitating rapid response research to address urgent humanitarian needs with timely and impactful interventions.

All our rapid response research fall under our Humanitarian Rapid Research Initiative (HRRI) or Responsive Fund.

Our HRRI facilitates real-time research and convening around major new crises. We work in partnership to invest in a collaborative process of research and learning to strengthen humanitarian policy and operational responses across new and/or evolving humanitarian crises, including natural disasters, health emergencies, conflict, and fragile affected situations across the globe.

Our Responsive Fund aims to swiftly address emerging crises through problem-led research initiatives identified by networked humanitarian actors. Projects supported by the Responsive Fund meaningfully contribute to addressing context-specific problems in emerging crises. Each project facilitates real-time response while also generating broader learning and offering systems-level benefits to humanitarian organisations.
