Social Value in Development and Humanitarian Assistance (SVDHA) is a group focused on the practice of social value in the fields of international development and humanitarian assistance. We have three main aims:
Raise awareness of the application and benefits of social value in these sectors, among INGOs, governments, membership bodies, social value practitioners, impact investors, philanthropic funds, and society in general.
Build the skills and capabilities of people applying social value to international development and humanitarian assistance projects, by holding events, highlighting best practice, facilitating discussion and debate, and building capacity.
Grow the membership of Social Value International and the social value community.
The group is led by Envoy Partnership, a social value consultancy, and supported by Social Value International.
Whether you work in the international development or humanitarian assistance sectors, or you are just interested, we would love to have you in the group.
SVDHA have developed a checklist for applying Social Value in the international development and humanitarian assistance sectors. This presents practical guidance on applying the Social Value principles and methodology, and addresses some of the challenges to the approach.
