*Dignity and Humanitarian Action in Displacement (ODI, March 2019) [text]
- "The goal of this project was to understand what dignity meant to affected people in different contexts. It explores how refugees, internally displaced people and returnees in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Colombia, Lebanon, the Philippines and South Sudan understand dignity, and whether (and how) they feel that their dignity has been upheld in displacement. Their understandings are then compared with those of humanitarian workers in these contexts, analysing what this means for humanitarian policy, programme design and implementation more broadly, and the localisation agenda more specifically."

Field Perspectives on the Grand Bargain Project (Ground Truth Solutions) [info]
- "The research looks at progress against the Grand Bargain’s goals from the perspective of affected people and field staff involved in humanitarian operations. It covers seven countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Haiti, Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia and Uganda. The first round of data was collected in 2017, followed by a second round in 2018. The focus of inquiry is on progress towards reaching the broader reform goals described in the Grand Bargain. Results are reported country by country and complemented by a policy brief that pulls together findings from across all seven humanitarian programmes." Follow link above for Round 2 surveys.
