Strengthening Humanitarian Action through Dialogue and Learning.

The Humanitarian Response Network of Canada (HRN) is a national community of practice made up of 50 Canadian humanitarian organizations. HRN members work in over 140 countries, supporting people affected by crises and emergencies around the world. 

Originally formed in 1999 as the Policy Action Group on Emergency Response (PAGER), the Network has evolved significantly, both in scope and size. In 2023, the HRN completed a major strategic review involving all members and stakeholders, leading to its first-ever Strategic Plan (2024–2029). 

Today, the HRN is hosted by Cooperation Canada, which provides secretariat support and connects the Network with key advocacy and policy initiatives.
