The Grand Bargain (GB), launched during the WHS in Istanbul in May 2016, is a unique agreement between some of the largest donors and humanitarian organisations who have committed to get more means into the hands of people in need and to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the humanitarian action.

The GB is a unique forum bringing together donors and aid organisations to drive progress on a common vision of maximising the impact of humanitarian work.
