This paper lays the groundwork for a two-year study by the Humanitarian Policy Group (HPG) at ODI, focusing on how humanitarian assistance enables and inhibits people’s efforts to pursue meaningful lives in protracted crises. In doing so, it seeks to introduce the idea of ‘wellbeing’ as a framework for thinking about what matters to people beyond survival in humanitarian settings.
