The Sphere Handbook translates principles and rights into practice. It has been field-tested for over twenty years and regularly updated to ensure it remains fit for purpose in a changing world. What does not change is its rights-based foundations: people have the right to assistance, the right to life with dignity, the right to protection and security, and the right to fully participate in decisions related to their own recovery.
The Centre for Humanitarian Leadership, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Humanitarian Advisory Group, RedR Australia and Save the Children are teaming up to introduce and facilitate discussion around two new resources for the humanitarian sector. The ALNAP State of the Humanitarian System (SOHS) 2018 report and the Sphere Handbook 2018 will be formally launched in Melbourne, Australia, in February 2019. Sphere Director, Christine Knudsen, and ALNAP Director, John Mitchell, will join us for the event, including panel discussions and networking opportunities.
Organizations and individuals will be invited to express interest in attending the joint launch event in early 2019. As places will be limited, the organizing committee will confirm attendance with successful participants. Alternate opportunities to engage will be shared with all interested parties.
