Greater support for innovative solutions to the challenges facing operational agencies in the field is increasingly seen as key to improving the effectiveness of humanitarian action. The Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) supports organizations to develop, test, and share new technologies and processes that aim to make humanitarian assistance more effective and cost-efficient. CIDA support for the HIF contributes to the development and diffusion of these innovations while strengthening innovation efforts at a global level through improvements to innovation processes, research standards, and the evidence-base for how innovations can improve humanitarian responses.
