(Ottawa, On) The HUMANITARIAN COALITION is pleased to announce a new collaboration with the School of International Development and Global Studies (SIDGS) at the University of Ottawa.


The SIDGS will work with the HUMANITARIAN COALITION as it pilots a joint Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Framework, providing for an even stronger focus on learning, accountability and transparency as key fundamentals of humanitarian response. This project also proposes to facilitate lessons learning and greater coordination in M&E within the humanitarian sector in Canada. In addition, the HUMANITARIAN COALITION members are ready to assist the SIDGS teaching staff and students with professional advice and inputs in their areas of expertise in international development and humanitarian response.
