ALNAP was established in 1997 following the multi-agency evaluation of the Rwanda genocide. It is a collective response by the humanitarian sector to improve performance through increased learning and accountability. ALNAP members include key humanitarian organisations and experts from across the sector, including from donors, NGOs, Red Cross/Crescent, the UN and independent organisations. ALNAP is able to utilise the broad range of experience and expertise within its membership to produce tools and analyses relevant to the sector as a whole.
