DFATD's support to the Humanitarian Policy Group (HPG) aims to improve humanitarian policy and practice in response to conflict and natural disasters. HPG’s Integrated Programme 2013-2015 focuses on the following research issues: (1) regional action and humanitarian response; (2) a global history of modern humanitarian action; (3) markets and resilience in crises and transitions; and (4) approaches and innovations reshaping the humanitarian landscape. HPG’s research programme is complemented by externally commissioned studies, policy briefs, networking within the Humanitarian Practice Network, and outreach events. The HPG also manages the journal “Disasters”, which features articles on all aspects of disasters studies, policy and management.
