DARA International
 Spain  |  Research/Dev

DARA aims to enhance global efforts to reduce human suffering and inequity and encourage prevention. Our focus is on the improvement of humanitarian action, the promotion of international stability and development, and the reduction of disaster risk.

DARA - Development Assistance Research Associates - is an independent, international, non-profit organisation, which works to improve the quality and impact of development and humanitarian interventions. We do this through research, evaluations, promoting learning and knowledge sharing. DARA carries out a variety of evaluations in the humanitarian and development sector and also develops its own independent initiatives, such as the Humanitarian Response Index, and the Disaster Risk Reduction Initiative. DARA's organisational and institutional capabilities allow us to respond to needs quickly, efficiently and with flexibility. DARA starts from the principle that all evaluations should add value, have a clear impact and promote change. We use the lessons learnt from our evaluations to identify gaps in the system that require further action, and develop appropriate, self-initiated projects to answer this need.
