The following major reports helped to shape the Agenda for Humanity, informed the World Humanitarian Summit, and summarized its outcomes.

Publications

In the third and final year of reporting since the World Humanitarian Summit (2016), 117 stakeholders informed on their efforts to advance the Agenda for Humanity between January-December 2018. The Report provides a synthesis of collective achievements and challenges. It includes new visual summaries per chapter (in addition to a global one) and an ‘Assessing progress’ section which explores indicators and methodologies that could be used to measure collective progress.The Executive Summary provides an overview of trends in progress and gaps that need to be addressed.

Looking at progress in 2018 and comparing it to work done since the Summit, the report found progress in shifting to a culture of conflict prevention, integrating gender in all aspects of programming, and that more national and local organizations are being represented in coordination processes. There are strengthened efforts to make humanitarian action more inclusive and stakeholders are increasing humanitarian-development-peace collaboration. But there are persistent challenges: fiduciary risk intolerance prevents local and national partners from accessing funds, and risk aversion also prevents greater investment in preparedness. There is a gap between normative commitments and applying them in the field. The report exhorts stakeholders to maintain the Summit’s ambition for structural change.
