Description

Wherever they occur, forced displacement and the urgent needs that result call for an immediate response. But how does the aid system respond when insecurity and forced displacement occur in what has long since been considered a stable, "development" context? Can longer-term aid interventions adapt when challenged to "shift gears" to address acute needs resulting from sudden, forced displacement? Much has been debated about how to define humanitarian and development approaches and how to transition between or link up emergency relief and development aid in response to crises. (1) Ideas of linking humanitarian and development paradigms and practices are based on several fundamental assumptions, including: the possibility for aid to treat the root causes of conflict or violence and/or to reinforce security; the nature of emergency as a temporary and transitory state; the desire to avoid "doing harm" (2) and/or creating aid dependency; (3) and the ability to join up humanitarian, development, political, military, and/or other objectives without diminishing the effectiveness and impact of each. Most of these assumptions have been sorely tested in recent years in an increasing number of protracted crises and fragile post-conflict settings--often highlighting the necessity of distinction between coexisting humanitarian and development approaches and challenging the idea of a linear continuum between relief and development.
