Written reflection
OLS TCHA Session 1: Faith and religion in humanitarian action

Have you come across situations where local faith communities were successfully incorporated in the humanitarian relief efforts. Please describe the situation and what considerations you had to take into account.
Have you experienced situations in humanitarian operations where relations with local or international actors were negatively impacted due to reasons related to faith and religion. Why did this happen? What should have been done differently?
Do faith-based organizations have a unique role to play in humanitarian action (e.g. in terms of access, better understanding the needs of affected people, better ability to respond to certain needs, etc.)? If you are able to, please illustrate your answer with a real-world example.
