HAD publications

At HAD, we are keenly engaged with key issues in international development and humanitarian aid.

Our e-library is a means to distribute knowledge gained through empirically-based, evidential programmes and to demonstrate the positive value that faith adds to humanitarian and development work. We provide global access to many of our publications, which are open-source and therefore free of charge to access.

Please respect author copyright and ensure that you reference us appropriately using the citations given with each publication.
