Pakistan: Choosing and disengaging from stakeholders 18 Aug 2010 | 10:10
The current response to the flooding in Pakistan highlights again the capacity and efficiency of national civil society organisations in carrying out relief work in areas where government agencies appear markedly absent. Some of those organisations are described as having (close) links to militant or extremist agencies in the country.
As the selected contributions highlight, in the initial phase of a large scale disaster response humanitarian actors will work with a wide range of stakeholders to have maximum impact in saving lives and covering essential needs. Humanitarian actors will need to determine early at what point they distance themselves from the military, politically motivated and potentially militant actors to ensure continued access and maintained acceptance by all stakeholders.
