How could a new UK government rethink humanitarian policy?

Humanitarian responses to disasters be designed to support livelihood systems, instead of undermining them. Here’s how 👇🧵

A “very, very common refrain” in interviews with people benefitting from Ethiopia’s social safety net programme is that it’s “not like dying, but it’s not like living either”.

“The numbers who needed support dwarfed the programme resources that were available in many place” – Jeremy Lind @IDS_UK

As starvation looms, #Ethiopia’s social safety net programme faces a funding gap

Ethiopia's vital social protection program, the Productive Safety Net Programme (#PSNP), is facing severe cutbacks, leaving millions at risk of hunger. The PSNP, aiding around eight million vulnerable citizens, is one of Africa's largest welfare schemes.

Due to escalating costs and reduced international support, the program is grappling with a staggering $195 million deficit over the next two years. Consequently, beneficiaries will see a significant reduction in food and cash assistance, with support dwindling by a third.

These cutbacks couldn't come at a worse time as Ethiopia confronts looming starvation threats, particularly in the northern highlands ravaged by drought and conflict. The situation is dire, with regions like #Tigray experiencing "emergency" levels of hunger.

Too often, humanitarian assistance can undermine the resilience of local livelihood systems.
So how can policy makers think about aid and long-term development goals in a joined-up way?
