Editorial Policy

Accuracy, attribution, corrections and independence

Sourcing: We prioritise original documents, official agency updates, recognised news organisations and research publishers. Each curated story should include a source link and publication date where available.

Attribution and uncertainty: Claims are attributed to the organisation or person making them. Allegations, casualty figures and conflict responsibility are not presented as independently verified unless the available evidence supports that description. Figures may change as reporting develops.

Images and summaries: Topic images may be illustrative and are labelled accordingly. Summaries are written to direct readers to the original publisher; they do not replace the full source report.

Corrections: Readers can report an error or request a correction by emailing humanitariananddevelopmentdail@gmail.com. Please include the page or headline, the specific issue and a reliable supporting source. Material corrections should be reflected in the relevant item when reviewed.

Independence and commercial content: HDDB is an independent publication and is not an official UN, NGO or government publication. Consulting services, paid products and any sponsored placements should be distinguished from editorial content.
