Humanitarian Aid Provision
Question 1: Advantages and Disadvantages of providing humanitarian aid on a long-term
basis
Humanitarian aid refers to the actions taken to provide assistance in form of food and
other material things to people who have an emergency or are in immediate danger.
Humanitarian aid at its core is based on the principles that aim to bring positive outcomes in
times of uncertainty and disaster. Humanitarian aid has several benefits including saving lives,
reduce suffering and ensure that basic human rights are maintained. The current system of
humanitarian aid is faced by several challenges that make it disadvantageous. Some of the
disadvantages include over humanitarianization of crises that do not constitute as humanitarian
crisis, hence, wasting resources and committing fraud. Second disadvantage is mismanaged and
mismatched service provision due to lack of proper research and community participation. There
is also a big disconnect between effort and impact of humanitarian aid initiatives (Dubois, 2018).
Question 2: How can we involve the affected community in the aid provision process? And
what is the benefit? Include one example.
The process of aid provision works better when the affected community is involved. It
can be done through community participation initiatives and collaboration with local authorities.
Therefore, involving the affected helps to increase efficiency in terms of use of available
resources, helps match the needs of the victims with organization goals as well reducing
dependency. An example is the use of ‘Health promoters’ in projects done by Doctors without
borders to help bridge the gap between community needs and organizational goals.
