The Sphere Handbook is marking its 20th anniversary with the publication of its fourth edition. It is the result of an intense year-long mobilization of humanitarian actors around the globe and reflects two decades of experience using the standards in front-line operations, policy development and advocacy to uphold principled quality and accountability.
This edition of the Handbook is the result of the most inclusive and far-reaching consultation process in our history. It compiles experience, practice, and evidence from thousands of humanitarian practitioners around the world to provide the best available standards, principles and concrete guidance in a practical form to improve the quality and accountability of humanitarian action.
ADRRN’s Secretary General, Takeshi Komino is one of the co-authors for this edition. Click here to download.
