The United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID) funded the Humanitarian Innovation and Evidence Programme (HIEP) between 2013 -2020. HIEP’s aim was to promote the use of evidence and innovation in the design, financing, planning and delivery of humanitarian policies, programmes and practices to deliver effective responses in humanitarian crises. In order to maximise the impact of HIEP, IDS was commissioned to carry out a project to increase engagement with the high-quality evidence commissioned. The project produced a mapping of the HIEP outputs , a synthesis of some of the main HIEP findings , and provided small uptake grants to three HIEP projects (Secure Access in Volatile Environments - SAVE, Valid Evaluations, and the Humanitarian Development Exchange - HDX).
