The aim of this working paper is to present the findings from the Gap Analysis Report related to recommendations for overcoming non-technical barriers to implementing bio-based solutions in humanitarian actions (HA). This paper also aims to inform a wider audience and key stakeholders in the context of humanitarian aid: NGOs, donors and policymakers, but also academia and bio-based industries. These stakeholders would be particularly interested in the outcomes, because they can effectively contribute to enhancing the sustainability and efficiency of humanitarian operations.
