ALNAP’s report ‘Shifting Mindsets: Creating a more flexible humanitarian response’ looks at the problem of flexibility in humanitarian action. The report is accompanied by a nine-part audio companion which explores some of the key problems in more depth by interviewing people working to understand these problems and develop ways to fix them.
