KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Groupe URD carries out operational research projects and thematic or cross-sector studies.
These aim to improve understanding of the issues facing humanitarian actors and the dynamics of crisis and post-crisis contexts in order to suggest ways in which they can improve and adapt their practices.
This research leads to the development of tools and methods like the Participation Handbook and the Quality COMPAS method.
