Challenges

Power imbalances and inequitable partnerships hinder national and local organisations in delivering sustainable, locally led humanitarian response.

Activities

Sphere supports and grows a community of practice consisting of all humanitarian standards users, including Sphere members, focal points, trainers, and other partners.

This community leads local implementation, advocacy, training, and networking initiatives.

Outcomes

Sphere standards are locally driven, ensuring their application supports sustainable humanitarian outcomes.

Local and national actors are strengthened through their ownership and use of globally recognised humanitarian standards.
