Independent analysis, critical discussion and high-profile communication of humanitarian aid for humanitarian actors.
About us
The Centre for Humanitarian Action (CHA) is the first German think tank for humanitarian aid. Founded in 2018, CHA advocates independent analysis, critical discussion and public communication of humanitarian action and its four principles: Humanity, impartiality, independence and neutrality. As an initiative of German non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the aim of CHA is to strengthen humanitarian aid from Germany and internationally. The NGOs Doctors without Borders Germany, Caritas Germany, Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe and since 2021 the German Red Cross (DRK) are the institutional partners of CHA and provide the basic funding. In addition to its institutional partners, CHA is financially and non-materially supported by other organisations. These include Islamic Relief Deutschland e.V., Help – Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe e.V., Action against Hunger gGmbH, Oxfam Germany, Handicap international, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) (since 2021), the Norwegian Rescue Comitee Germany (since 2023), Save the Childen Germany as well as the Johanniter International Assistance (since 2024). CHA is not meant to be a purely academic institution, nor to represent humanitarian organisations vis-à-vis the German Federal Government. The centre rather builds a bridge between academic analysis of humanitarian action and projects and programmes in the field.

Last week CHA research fellow Sonja Hövelmann gave an input on current and future challenges in international humanitarian aid at Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Germany/ Tierärzte ohne Grenzen
The topics of #Synergy and #Exchange have been running like red threads through our week. We've had two very exciting days as we hosted a part of the #VSF family at our headquarters. 🙏 We thank you for the interesting exchange on important issues concerning localization, discussions on our organizational structures, and for the suggestions on how our collaboration can be enhanced to effectively address future challenges in the sector, ensuring impactful outcomes for the communities. Special thanks to Sonja Hövelmann from the Centre for Humanitarian Action for her input on current and future challenges in international humanitarian aid. #onehealth #humanitarianaid #ngo #strongertogether 🌟 🌟 🌟 Agronomes et Vétérinaires Sans Frontières (VSF-CICDA) Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Suisse Vétérinaires Sans Frontières - Dierenartsen Zonder Grenzen Belgium Veterinarians without Borders North America

"Local partners, who are very well prepared for risks already – almost resembling intermediaries – are paradoxically preferred as partners in risk sharing. We need more investment in including smaller, grassroot organisations." Darina Pellowska at a CHA online event on #RiskSharing in #HumanitarianAction.

"We need to unpack what we mean with risk and what the threshold for an adaquate mitigation strategy is. We need to have a dialogue around this and how to share residual risk." - Christine Knudsen, InterAction at a CHA online event on #RiskSharing in #HumanitarianAction.
