Humanitarian Parameters Box

Use each of the sections of the Humanitarian Parameters Box to explore where you are proposing to introduce the solution in relation to the:

  • Humanitarian context
  • Disaster management cycle
  • Rules and regulations
  • Crisis-affected community
  • Problem holder
  • Humanitarian architecture

When you work through each section, ask the additional question:

  • What/who will need to make adaptations to their current way of doing things in order for this solution to work?

By doing this, you will geta good sense of how other organisations, people, structures or processes may need to adapt.

Humanitarian Parameters Box worksheet. The problem holder and crisis-affected population are at the centre, surrounded by actors such as national government, local authorities, local civil society organisations, international NGOs, the United Nations, the Red Cross and Red Crescent, and the cluster system.
