Around 0.8 million people are displaced. The aid they need does not reach them because NGOs are often stopped by the government. Do we have any way forward to resolve this issue?
- Lecturer, academic institution, Pakistan

- Humanitarian Affairs and Disarmament Advisor, Switzerland

Coordination of humanitarian action
“
How can the coordination of disaster relief efforts be improved to make them more effective? Over the years, the perception that some iNGOs and National Governments tend to compete with one another so as to be seen as the leading light in a given disaster relief effort. The rational is said to be that publicity results in greater funding. UN relief agencies and IFRC tend to be better coordinated when it comes to disaster relief?

As we aspire to intervene especially in food crises, how we can promote local purchases and encourage local food production?
- Protection Officer, youth organization, Somalia
”
“
The Red Cross is based on local volunteers as the primary humanitarian actors, which helps with local acceptance and access. At the same time, internal sectarian conflicts and being among the impacted population themselves often impact the ability of these individuals to be part of humanitarian action.

How do we use global willingness to act in crises and transform this into global willingness to support community development?
