Applications are now open for the Humanitarian Innovation Projects to encourage the establishment of high-impact underlying solutions that benefit the whole sector, in order to improve the effectiveness of humanitarian action and emergency responses.
The Humanitarian Innovation call for projects (APIH) was launched by the Humanitarian and Stabilization Operations Center (COHS) in 2021 in line with the commitments made at the French National Humanitarian Conference (CNH) and the recommendations of the external audit of the Emergency Humanitarian Fund (FUH). It is an annual financing instrument aimed at supporting innovative and structural humanitarian projects conducted by local and international NGOs specialized in emergency responses. It is fully aligned with the aims of the 2023 - 2027 French Humanitarian Strategy and seeks to ensure its implementation by supporting initiatives from humanitarian NGOs.
The APIH also aims to foster pooling of approaches and help develop synergies between humanitarian actors, so as to contribute to transforming practices and the comprehensive evolution of the humanitarian sector.
The APIH’s priorities are based on the evolution of the challenges faced by the humanitarian sector.
In 2024, it seeks to continue support for initiatives related to:
- Integrating the place of women and girls and gender issues in humanitarian action and emergency response;
- Addressing the consequences of climate change on humanitarian crises and reducing the environmental impact of humanitarian action;
- Protecting the humanitarian space, civilians and humanitarian personnel and fighting impunity for crimes against them.
