A picture says more than...what the UN looks like


Sometimes there are these rare moments when the anthropologist in me gets really excited. A friend of mine who works for the UN in Kenya allowed me to share this fantastic artefact, a picture taken at the end of the visit of three senior UN officials, WFP's Josette Sheeran, UN Women's Michelle Bachelet and UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres to the ‘world’s largest refugee camp’ in Dadaab.
It’s global multiculturalism in a nutshell; if somebody asks me ‘what does it look like to work for the UN?’ I will say ‘just like this’:

The dismantling of USAID & the paradoxes of global development

Image
What is happening to USAID now is an unprecedented attack on global development and humanitarianism. If we zoom out a little bit it is also an almost unparalleled moment to revisit some of the great paradoxes of giving aid, of two things being true at the same time and the many shades of grey in-between. The bigger picture that is emerging, not just in the US, but across OECD donors, is that the global, post WWII development consensus is being dismantled and most of the legitimate criticism about the aid-industrial complex is replaced with vindictive, right-wing politics. I am convinced that very little good will come from this “disruption” and that more people globally will be worse off in the aftermath than benefit from short-term notions of cutting off overpaid Western consultants from the taxpayers’ purse. And yet, giving and receiving aid has always be a complicated endeavor and I am going to look at some of the paradoxes that are coming to light right now. Paradox (Merriam-Webst...

I have been researching global development for more than 20 years-and I am really not optimistic right now

Image
The beautiful thing about blogging is that it remains such an evolving, flexible and reflective genre for me. Almost three weeks after my recent post on the impact of dismantling USAID -one of the most viewed posts in a very long time, I have thinking about a follow-up post. And then I read Ken Opalo's post What will become of international development after the end of the aid paradigm? with great reflections and advice on what the current crisis means for careers in global development. And then I read Kristof Titeca’s long-read Ali Kony and the twilight of the Lord’s Resistance Army on Joseph Kony’s son who deserted the infamous LRA. And then I browsed through my archive and found a post I wrote almost exactly 13 years ago, in March 2012, 5 questions for a post-Kony 2012 debate . I wrote: How can we channel the energy, ideas and good intentions of young people into sustainable change for communities at home and abroad? Both the number of viewers of the Kony 2012 documentary and...

The War That Doesn’t Say Its Name (book review)

Image
I submitted my slightly revised short review of Jason Stearns' The War That Doesn’t Say Its Name – The Unending Conflict in the Congo to Global Responsibility to Protect (GR2P) at the end of 2024. Since the review has not been published yet and the situation in Congo deteriorating as I write this, I find it important to highlight the book. Although published in 2021, it provides an important background to the complexities of the conflict and to the challenges of (liberal) peacebuilding and thereby is a very timely book to pick up! The humanitarian situation in North Kivu is dire with close to three million displaced people in the province,” the truce statement said. “The recent expansion of fighting in North Kivu has prevented humanitarian workers from reaching hundreds of thousands of IDPs in the area around Kanyabayonga and displaced more than 100,000 people from their homes," the statement added. The M23 have almost completely encircled Goma, the capital of North Kivu ...

Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality – Chapter 11 – Political solidarity movements and humanitarianism: lessons from Catalonia, Spain (1975–2020)

Image
Every two weeks I am going to feature one of the chapters of our Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality which was published in spring 2024. This week we are taking a closer look at Chapter 11 – Political solidarity movements and humanitarianism: lessons from Catalonia, Spain (1975–2020) – contributed by Salvador Martí i Puig and Alberto Martín Álvarez. From the introduction A solidarity movement is a collective political actor that, as in the case of parties and lobbies, relies on the voluntary participation of its members, has a relatively stable activity and a set of common objectives among its members, who share a coordinated and organised line of action, and the will to intervene in the political sphere, thus influencing the management of a social conflict. Nevertheless, these – and other – movements have some features that are specific to them, such as a flexible organisation, with traits of informality; a transversal discourse based on a specific thematic field (in this ca...

Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality - Chapter 12 - Subversive humanitarianism

Image
Every two weeks I am going to feature one of the chapters of our Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality which was published in spring 2024. This week we are taking a closer look at Chapter 12 – Subversive humanitarianism - contributed by Robin Vandevoordt. From the introduction In recent years, however, scholars have drawn attention to other actors providing material and social support, often under conditions of – sometimes prolonged – emergencies. They have spawned a whole range of new concepts, some of which are embedded within studies of humanitarianism, such as ‘new’, ‘volunteer’ ( Sandri, 2018 ), and ‘South–South’ humanitarianism ( Fiddian-Qasmiyeh 2015a ; 2019 ), while others have emerged from neighbouring fields such as ‘citizen aid’ from development studies ( Fechter and Schwittay, 2019 ; see also Chapter 13 by Choudhury Lahiri on Citizen’s groups and grassroots humanitarianism in this volume ) and ‘inclusive solidarity’ from social movement studies ( Schwiertz and Schwe...
