In the humanitarian aid sector, scenarios can never be written in advance. Only the needs of the population and the reality on the ground can justify enacting a humanitarian response or not. That is why, before any emergency response, we always conduct an evaluation mission by quickly mobilizing a team on site. We are also looking for funds to cover the operational expenses of the mission, such as logistics of the response (transport, accommodation, visas etc.) and possible emergency activities. We coordinate with local partners when the situation permits and prioritize needs in the field. The evaluation mission decides whether or not to deploy an emergency aid project and then develops a detailed action plan.
