The INSPIRE+ consortium, made up of five partners (ODI, Development Initiative, IECAH, Faireprod and Groupe URD as lead partner) was selected by DG ECHO following a call for tenders to support the European Commission’s humanitarian policies.

The aim of the contract is to provide support and assistance to DG ECHO’s policy development through the deployment of short-term, ready-to-use expertise and ongoing support in areas related to humanitarian aid policy. This is a two-year contract, renewable twice for a period of one year each time. This new contract follows on from Groupe URD’s work with DG ECHO since 2012.
