The Humanitarian Practice Network provides an opportunity for people to share knowledge and experience. All the articles and papers published by HPN are written by HPN members, readers or others working with national and international NGOs, UN agencies, government and donor institutions, or by academics, independent consultants and others.

HPN is pleased to consider articles and papers for publication submitted by anyone involved in some way in humanitarian action. If you have knowledge and experience to share but do not consider yourself a 'writer', do not worry! It is your ideas that are important - HPN has experienced editorial staff to help you to communicate them. All HPN publications are available online. Other articles and book reviews can also be submitted to HPN for electronic publication. These are between 500 and 2,000 words long, and can be submitted in English at any time.

Submissions may be sent electronically to hpn@odi.org.uk or posted to HPN, Overseas Development Institute, 111 Westminster Bridge Road, London SE1 7JD, UK.

If you have an idea for an article or paper you would like to develop, HPN staff would be pleased to discuss it with you - send an email to hpn@odi.org.uk or call +44 (0)20 7922 0331.
