Launching the global survey “Growing the Sphere network”

The purpose of this survey is to help Sphere become a stronger, more robust and inclusive network whose mission it is to convene and support individuals, communities, organisations and like-minded standards-setting bodies who apply, promote and encourage voluntary adherence to humanitarian standards and principles.

We are inviting input from a broad range of humanitarian professionals. The goal is to identify opportunities to expand the understanding, use and effective application of Sphere standards at local, national, and global levels. We also aim to improve how Sphere engages and supports individuals and organisations working in humanitarian action.

The survey is available in English, Arabic, French and Spanish. You can take this survey online until 11 December 2015.

Please take a few minutes to share your ideas and suggestions. Your insights will help us reach our vision of a world in which all people affected by disaster or conflict are able to re-establish their lives and recover their livelihoods in ways that respect and promote their dignity.

Your input is invaluable to us. Thank you for your contribution!
