With @JoyceMsuya I was asked by @UNReliefChief to propose ways to make our humanitarian system more efficient, less bureaucracy. With exploding needs and less generous funding, here are proposals to reallocate resources from process in capitals to action with and for people in

.@Humanicontraria's piece is great. Delivering aid to the ‘reachable’ instead of those most in need fails impartiality & is unfair. Efficiency isn’t about numbers reached. Leave behind the "more people reached, the better". Go with quality over quantity

It isn't dramatic to say that the whole world is in crisis, in one way or another. This means Tom Fletcher is stepping into one of the biggest jobs on earth. And as crises collide, geopolitics toxify...

In 2023 and 2024, we spoke with people displaced by violence in eastern #DRC about their safety concerns and whether humanitarian aid truly helps them feel safer. Dora, Junior, and I share their insights. Some of their perspectives and our analysis may surprise you.
The humanitarian sector must better understand how crisis-affected people perceive protection, why current approaches miss the mark, and what changes are needed to enhance impact. More in this #DRC study from @GroundTruthSol, @iescongo & Victim’s Hope DRC:

Great piece by @Ed_HEREGVA from @HEREGeneva on the UN's failed response in Ethiopia, stressing the need for accountability and reform. How about this reform: Future interventions must focus on politics and power to prioritise protection over short-sighted needs assessments.
An unusually blunt report calls the UN-led humanitarian response in northern Ethiopia a “failure”. Its lead evaluator, @Ed_HEREGVA, says accountability is “long overdue”:

Co-wrote a piece redefining impartiality & humanity after projects in #DRC & #Chad. Let's target the collective over the individual. Let's opt more often for quality over quantity. #Humanitarian aid should be more than just a numbers game. Read in EN:

Wrapping up our projects in #DRCongo & #Chad, connecting them with debates on #humanitarian principles. 🔊 Is fairness more helpful than impartiality? 🔊 Does standardised aid weaken community ties and the principle of humanity? Our latest article https://t.co/rVjV5Mb2uw

What caused the latest tragedy in Gaza are the restrictions on humanitarian access imposed by Israel & obstructions by violent extremist to the supply of aid. Firing on civilians is unjustifiable. We call for an international investigation. My statement: https://t.co/Vy1MZwwAxh

In the midst of the "protection crisis" in eastern #DRCongo, only 41% of people reported that their communities had been consulted on #protection risks they face. Communities must drive protection priorities. ➡️Read more in our new #DRCreport, chap. 4 https://t.co/z77C8XbyTk

🌍 Our new report exposes a startling reality: Only 37% of those affected by crises in Eastern #DRC feel heard in programme design. Just 19% believe they can live without #humanitarian aid long-term. Read the report to learn about peoples' recommendations & what must change.
New report! How can humanitarian actors improve aid in #DRCongo ? Our report points out the gaps between assistance and communities’ views. Aid programs must be driven by community voices, not organisational mandates. Read more here: https://t.co/RLB4PZmbAo

This report is filled with eye-opening quotes, demonstrating the harsh reality of people's lack of agency in receiving aid. Stay tuned for more!
“I have never seen anyone ask me what type of assistance I would like to receive", a woman living in a host community in Goma (North Kivu) told us. Our report featuring the voices of over 1,500 people receiving #humanitarian aid in DR Congo will be out next week!

Could aid agencies please stop publicizing the number of people they have "reached." It's a meaningless and misleading concept. How often were they reached? Were the right people reached? What did they receive when they were reached? Did they receive what they needed? etc. etc.
In 2022, humanitarian needs in #Myanmar deepened as conflict increased & intensified, causing record levels of displacement & destruction. Despite this, humanitarians stayed & delivered, reaching a record 4.4 million people in need. Learn more: https://t.co/SMHYxk9GYA
