What makes #humanitarian action legitimate in today’s world – and who gets to decide? New findings from @BenParker140 & @poole_lydia show there are two blocs: the 'cautious incrementalists' & 'new radicals'. Read the research summary: makingsenseofcrisis.org/reth…

"INGOs need to notice what their partnership models reward in practice, & shift away from dynamics that select for compliance over voice. If local influence depends on being 'easy', locally-led leadership & accountability will remain limited."@NEAR_Network bit.ly/47pZsMf
