Abstract: Abstract The Good Humanitarian Donorship (GHD) Principles commit donors to “provide humanitarian assistance in ways that are supportive of recovery and long-term development.” The linkage with longer-term development, while extensively debated in the past in connection to the “relief to development” continuum, has received relatively little recent attention and is not measured in the GHD indicators. This paper argues that these links are becoming both more important and more complex, and outlines some initial ideas strengthening these links.
