The Humanitarian Programme Cycle (HPC) is designed to improve the delivery of humanitarian assistance and protection through better preparing, prioritizing, steering and monitoring the collective response through informed decision-making.  

The Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) is designed to support robust discussions and inform difficult decisions, related to the HPC at the country-level, with an emphasis on ensuring evidence-based analysis of the needs of people affected by crises and strong collective response planning.
