About UKHIH   

 Founded in 2020, the UK Humanitarian Innovation Hub (UKHIH) is an initiative hosted by Elrha, a global organisation committed to solving complex humanitarian challenges, and is funded by the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO). Our mission is to address significant humanitarian issues through rigorous research and innovative solutions. We achieve this by bringing together diverse stakeholders from both within and beyond the humanitarian sector, fostering collaboration, co-creation, and the mobilisation of resources. This approach integrates the perspectives of crisis-affected communities with the expertise of humanitarian actors, leveraging UK and global capacities to develop effective, relevant solutions.  

Since its inception, UKHIH has been at the forefront of advancing humanitarian innovation through Accelerated Innovation Collaborations (AICs), which are high-impact partnerships that drive major advancements in the field via a shared strategic learning process. A key feature of these collaborations is the inclusion of researchers from Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) through the UKHIH fellowship scheme, allowing for invaluable insights and strengthening local capacities. Additionally, UKHIH supports the Humanitarian Rapid Research Initiative (HRRI), which conducts real-time research on emerging crises, producing pivotal reports on issues such as ethical concerns in Afghanistan, response capacities to cholera, and the humanitarian impacts of natural disasters like the Turkey/Syria earthquake and the Pakistan floods. More recently, UKHIH has expanded its efforts to include ecosystem development within the humanitarian sector, focusing on UK capability mapping and exploring emerging technologies to tackle future challenges effectively.
