Measuring Commitment to Best Practice
HRI
The Humanitarian Response Index (HRI), the first instrument in the world to measure the individual performance of humanitarian donors.
The HRI focuses on the members of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, and the European Commission) contrasting their performance with that established in the Principles of Good Humanitarian Donorship, defined and approved by the donors.
Although the HRI is an initiative of DARA financed with its own resources, the methodological design for its creation involves the participation of a multitude of actors in the humanitarian field (governments, NGO’s, United Nations agencies, experts, etc.), who provide data, opinions and experiences that will put into focus the snapshot of international humanitarian assistance.
