Research on Sustaining Humanitarian Action

During the first half of 2026, the Yemen National NGOs Forum continued to support evidence generation to strengthen the participation of national NGOs in humanitarian dialogue and advocacy. One key initiative was its contribution to the study “Bridging Principles and Practices – Local NGO Strategies for Sustaining Humanitarian Action in Yemen.”

The study is being undertaken in collaboration with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and the International Council of Voluntary Agencies (ICVA), focusing on local NGOs’ strategies for sustaining humanitarian action in Yemen.

The Forum contributed through pre-study consultations, participation in the researcher selection process, facilitating engagement with national NGOs, and periodic coordination with the researcher and partners throughout the research process.

This contribution reflects the Forum’s efforts to connect local organizations’ operational experiences with evidence-informed advocacy, helping ensure that their priorities and challenges can inform wider humanitarian discussions and decision-making.
