Report of the study on humanitarian aid in Somalia, 2009

03/12/2009

The various studies on the security of humanitarian actors rank Somalia among the most dangerous operational contexts in the world, along with Afghanistan, Darfur and, more recently, Chad. At the same time, it is one of the contexts in which humanitarian needs are highest. To better understand the operational challenges posed by this context to humanitarian actors and donors, Groupe URD was commissioned by the Crisis Centre (CDC) of the French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs to conduct a study with the ultimate objective of contributing to the work and thinking on humanitarian issues in highly insecure situations.
