ROLES

The Sphere Handbook translates principles and rights into practice. It has been field-tested for over twenty years and regularly updated to ensure it remains fit for purpose in a changing world. What does not change is its rights-based foundations: people have the right to assistance, the right to life with dignity, the right to protection and security, and the right to fully participate in decisions related to their own recovery.

Please join us for the DC launch of the 2018 Sphere Handbook on Monday, January 28 from 3:00 – 5:30 pm EST at InterAction. You will learn what is new and how the Handbook can contribute to emerging challenges in the humanitarian sector.
