Review of Evidence Supporting the Sphere Standards

London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. 03/22/2017 This 42-page review, a collaboration between Enhancing Learning and Research for Humanitarian Assistance, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Sphere Project, examines the evidence supporting the Sphere standards. It contributes to the 2018 revision of the Sphere Handbook by providing rigorous analysis of existing evidence and supporting the production of new empirical evidence where appropriate. Its objectives were to analyze and classify Sphere indicators from the water, sanitation, and hygience (WASH), food security, and health action chapters; and review the evidence supporting indicators from the Sphere Handbook.
