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 2019, 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 and the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) (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.

In which way should Germany raise and focus its aid engagement in light of USAID dismantlement, what would be key to ensure the #humanitarian system keeps functioning and what would be a fair amount for a German contribution as a leading donor and economy? In our interview with German daily @frankfurterrundschau we name crucial aid system services as a top priority for Germany's engagement and a target budget of 3.4 billion € as a realistic and fair proportional contribution based on Germany's economic power and global needs: https://lnkd.in/e9h6ejWK Centre for Humanitarian Action Sonja Hövelmann Pitt Bebenburg

📢 Für alle Unterstützer*innen einer stärker lokal geführten humanitären Hilfe: im Rahmen des #CafeKyiv stellen wir heute gemeinsam mit unserem Partner Avalyst die Help Localisation Facility erstmals der Öffentlichkeit vor. Das Globalprogramm wird zunächst in der Ukraine pilotiert und dort in den kommenden zwei Jahren ukrainischen humanitären Organisationen mehr als 10,8 Mio. Euro unmittelbar für ihre Projektvorhaben und Strukturstärkung zur Verfügung stellen - dank der Unterstützung des Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany. Dabei geht die HLF sowohl in der Entscheidungsfindung als auch in der Projektförderung neue Wege und entwickelt mit zivilgesellschaftlichen Dachverbänden, Lokalisierungsnetzwerken und wissenschaftlich begleitet durch das Centre for Humanitarian Action eine neue Form der Zusammenarbeit mit lokalen Partnern. Es liegt also in der Natur der Sache, dass in vielen Bereichen noch dicke Bretter zu bohren sind - umso mehr freuen wir uns auf euer (gerne kritisches) Feedback! Falls ihr für das Cafe Kyiv registriert seid, kommt gerne zum Launch und diskutiert mit. Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung | Help – Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe e. V.
