What do we know about users of humanitarian standards?
Format
By Anne Radday and Nola Jenkins
In 2021, the SEADS Project team will draft the first ever standards to support agricultural livelihoods in emergencies. Before we began, we wanted to better understand the preferences of the future users of SEADS. So, in early 2021 we collected input through a short survey. We will use the insights from the survey to inform the structure, style, and format of the SEADS Standards.
While the survey was not a formal study of humanitarian standards users’ experiences, we learned some things that we think humanitarian standards architects and users will find of interest.
