Humanitarian Policy Group logo

Cover of HPG Commissioned ReportHPG has established a strong record in carrying out large-scale and complex evaluations. These provide a valuable 'point of entry' for HPG's work in understanding and influencing humanitarian policy and practice. In turn, this ensures that the group's work is strongly rooted in field experience, and that the evaluation process is informed by research and other studies carried out by HPG.

HPG is particularly interested in evaluations of strategic significance to the sector, where there are opportunities for learning and effecting change.
