The World Humanitarian Summit in 2016 will feature transformation through innovation as a key theme.

In this blog post we sketch out four areas in need of further research over the next two years to provide policymakers, humanitarian actors and other stakeholders with up to date and relevant research and knowledge.
- Empowerment and Accountability
- The role of aggregated data
