The Sphere Manual (available online free) is the “internationally recognized sets of common principles and universal minimum standards for the delivery of quality humanitarian response. Because it is not owned by any one organization, the Sphere Handbook enjoys broad acceptance by the humanitarian sector as a whole.” The manual is full of links to additional readings on every topic; more readings and videos are also available from Sphere.
