The purpose of this Guidance is to aid the staff of humanitarian organizations who are engaged in project design and proposal development to design their projects in a client-responsive manner. The Guidance facilitates this process by providing detailed practical advice on how to implement a series of eight actions, constituting a feedback cycle, and tips on how to overcome common challenges. This Guidance also provides recommendations to humanitarian leadership and donors as to how they can enable and incentivize client-responsive project design.
