HPG is a programme of the Overseas Development Institute.
One of the world's leading teams working on humanitarian issues. We are dedicated to improving humanitarian policy and practice through a combination of high-quality analysis, dialogue and debate.
HPG work is directed by our Integrated Programme, a body of research designed in consultation with our advisory group. This is complemented by commissioned studies, communications and networking activity.
Our Integrated Programme
Since 1999, HPG has produced an annual programme of work that combines its different core activities within a coherent thematic framework. This integrated body of research is designed each year through consultation with an advisory group, and gives intellectual coherence to its work, helping to ensure HPG's effectiveness and providing a clear basis for the mobilisation of funds.
