Building upon the model of the Ebola Response Anthropology Platform, the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP) integrates social science to improve preparedness and response for the most vulnerable during crises. It works with partners at all levels to ensure context-informed and community-engaged action. Founded in 2016, SSHAP localises its impact through initiatives like on-demand evidence, fellowship programmes, and establishing regional hubs. In West Africa, SLURC collaborated with local institutions to create a responsive hub for context-specific humanitarian and health interventions.
