Lunch: Understanding Sphere Standards for Donors

What’s This About?

How do you fund with integrity, clarity and impact—when the needs are urgent and the data is uncertain?

This 90-minute in-person briefing introduces institutional donors to the Sphere Standards—a globally recognised framework for monitoring and evaluation in humanitarian response.
