The challenges that will face humanitarian actors in the future cannot be addressed by one organisation working alone. Rather, we believe that organisations will need to work together to maximise different expertise, skills and resources that responding to complex events will require. Additionally, new actors are increasingly starting to engage in humanitarian work, and organisations need to understand how to think about and make sound decisions about their collaborative relationships and the types of networks they need to forge, preferably before an event occurs.

Gaining the Future will help you to understand how humanitarian actors are changing. It will highlight new actors that you can expect in the future, and what you can do to forge successful collaborative networks and relationships, for example with a diaspora. 

A draft Gaining the Future matrix is currently being refined and tested by the HFP. If you have comments on the draft, or if your organisation would like to be involved in the testing process, please contact us at info@humanitarianfutures.org
