The Sphere Handbook
The world’s most widely recognised set of common principles and universal standards for humanitarian action — field-tested across two decades of response.
The world’s most widely recognised set of common principles and universal standards for humanitarian action — field-tested across two decades of response.
What does not change is its rights-based foundations — the right to assistance, the right to life with dignity, the right to protection and security, and the right to participate fully in decisions about one’s own recovery.
The Sphere Handbook 2018 was launched on 6 November 2018, marking the 20th anniversary of the Sphere movement — established originally as a time-limited project that has since grown into a community of purpose spanning the globe.
As of 2020, the interactive Handbook lets you post links to newly published resources, share case studies and success stories, or simply alert us to inaccuracies. All of it helps inform the next edition.
