Improving Humanitarian Assistance:A Transatlantic Agenda for Action

The Raising the Bar Project was designed to enhance transatlantic coherence and cooperation in humanitarian action. Over 18 months (January 2008 - June 2009), a project team based on a unique network of transatlantic organizations conducted field-based empirical research to provide an in-depth analysis of current practices in four key areas of humanitarian policy, thereby helping to identify the potential and limits of joint transatlantic action.
