Secret aid worker: fixing the humanitarian and development divide | Global Development Professionals Network | The Guardian

Secret aid worker: fixing the humanitarian and development divide | Global Development Professionals Network | The Guardian: "Earlier this year the UN secretary-general, described a humanitarian system that operates “in silos created by mandates and financial structures rather than towards collective outcomes by leveraging comparative advantage”. In September 2015, the EU stated that there was a “compelling need to reframe the humanitarian-development cooperation, so that this partnership reinforces the outcomes of both streams”. They are re-stating the obvious. Everyone agrees this must happen. This unity cracks on the reasons for change, and dribbles away altogether, when solutions are proposed that would fix the problem."
