@JFCrisp Jeff, there’s nothing new here because the existing commitments have never been the issue. Prioritising strong local and global leadership and cutting inefficient use of aid funding is one step in the right direction.

[Jan Egeland @NRC_Egeland]

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 need at the frontlines:

.@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 https://t.co/YENwgZEzVt

@TFletcher While you're at it, check out this blog post with 3 key priorities you should focus on to make real, lasting change.
Pinky promise—you're just a 3-minute read away from some solid (still unsolicited) advice. Ignore the provocative title & give it a go.

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.

[HPN @hpn_hpg]

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: https://t.co/SA0Ti5QS92

Germany launches an overambitious new #humanitarian strategy while it cuts its budget by half - why both is a fatal mistake, please read in my article on @ntvde, Germany's most popular news platform apart from yellow press #Bild

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.

[The New Humanitarian @newhumanitarian]

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”: https://t.co/ImGXGzTg7p

[UNICEF Central African Republic @UNICEF_CAR]

💡Les voix des communautés guident nos actions✨ Suite aux enquêtes de perception des communautés menées par l'UNICEF et @GroundTruthSol, des ateliers sectoriels ont été organisés pour traduire les recommandations communautaires en plans d'actions stratégiques les 3 prochains ans

[UNICEF Central African Republic @UNICEF_CAR]

Le groupe de donateurs qui appuient la réponse humanitaire en #RCA a recontré les membres du Groupe de travail #AAP. Le siège de #UNICEF a servi de cadre pour ces échanges sur les avancées, les défis et les opportunités relevés auprès des communautés.

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.

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?

@JFCrisp Peace is the greatest form of protection.

📢 Our new report "Cash or vouchers? What aid recipients in Kaga-Bandoro want" is out! 🔍 Communities share their preferences on aid modalities in Kaga-Bandoro, #CentralAfricanRepublic. What are these preferences and what drives them? Learn more 🔗https://t.co/HccTCX6JG5

[Tim Buder @Tim_Buder]

@HEREGeneva @iascch Excited for this! When's the release date?
Really hoping that you will talk to government/authority reps as announced in table 8, p.40. Feel like IAHE's sampling design rarely does justice to the host gov's / de facto authorities' impact on humanitarian responses.

[Tim Buder @Tim_Buder]

MSF's hard-hitting critique on aid response in Goma
1. "I get raped in every war”
2. violence occurred both in the places they came from and on their journey to Goma
3. main source of household income are wood collecting and female prostitution

[MSF Crash @MSF_Crash]

Michaël Neuman describes his visit to the IDP camps in Goma, where he spent two weeks.
