How do we get there?

The study describes five overarching shifts in mind-set and practice that will contribute to more effectively meeting needs in crisis and to moving people out of crisis. They are not presented in a prescriptive manner, but rather, they are meant to signal a new direction. Many of the shifts are aimed at reducing vulnerability and paving the way towards more sustainable solutions, serving as a bridge to the Sustainable Development Agenda and other major change agendas in areas such as peace operations, climate change, and gender equality. Emerging from the findings, the proposed shifts call for action by international humanitarian actors as well as donors, governments, national and local actors, and others contributing to humanitarian action such as private sector actors, militaries, and diaspora communities.
