How can we protect and balance the interests of affected populations, donors or funders and implementers?
This book tackles that question by applying a practitioner’s perspective and a systems approach to nonprofit organizational management and humanitarian aid programming under uncertain conditions. It synthesizes theory and practice of humanitarian action to present an innovative framework for asymmetric humanitarian action and the humanitarian value chain, aiming to balance aid program design and implementation, especially in complex, fragile, authoritarian, and sanctioned environments. With a strong focus on universal rights and values, the book critically examines the humanitarian context, strategy, operations, and nonprofit management. Three compelling case studies provide key insights for rethinking humanitarian aid, organizational, and program management in challenging settings.
The book is currently available in both paperback and Kindle formats.
