Read and write reviews about International Center for Humanitarian Affairs (ICHA). In the past few decades, actors in humanitarian relief have since increased and diversified to include Government, UN agencies, Development Partners, International and National Non-Governmental Organizations, Civil Society Organizations and most recently the private sector and even private individuals. The major challenge has been and continues to be the lack of a harmonized, synchronized and well-coordinated knowledge base; this in turn constrains effective utilization of information especially during humanitarian, disaster relief operations, and resilient building interventions. It is against this backdrop, that having identified the need to ensure efficient and effective knowledge and information management, that the KRCS established the International Center for Humanitarian Affairs ((hereinafter referred to as ICHA). The organisation was founded in 2013 and is located in Nairobi, Kenya. Through extensive and high quality research, training and publications coupled with strategic partnerships, ICHA’s short term goal is to be a Knowledge hub not only for KRCS, but also at National and Regional level on humanitarian affairs, improved community resilience and developmental issues.
