The Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) supports organisations working in countries struck by humanitarian crises, such as Haiti or Pakistan, to develop, test and share new technologies and processes that will contribute to more effective and cost-efficient humanitarian aid in the future. It has been created through a partnership between Enhanced Learning and Research for Humanitarian Assistance (ELRHA) and Active Learning Network for Accountability and Performance in Humanitarian Action (ALNAP). It is currently made up of contributions from the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SIDA) totalling £1.4 million. The HIF has been created to provide the sector with a critical new resource to reflect, innovate and implement new ways of working.
