The Centre for Humanitarian Action (CHA) is a think tank fostering critical reflection, open debate and public communication of humanitarian action.

The Centre for Humanitarian Action (CHA) is a Berlin-based think tank founded in 2019, which engages in independent analysis, initiates debates and spreads the word about humanitarian action and principles amongst the general public. The CHA is an initiative of humanitarian organisations to strengthen German and international humanitarian action. The four core areas of work until the end of 2023 are:
- Humanitarian policy and strategy capacity of German actors
- Opportunities and risks of digitalisation for German humanitarian actors
- Localisation in practice: partnership in humanitarian project and risk management
- Climate change and humanitarian change
An overview of all topics can be found here: https://www.chaberlin.org/en/topics/
