A companion volume to Emergency Relief Operations, this book is a primer on designing, building, funding, and managing humanitarian action programs. Drawing their experience in such groups as Medecins sans Frontières, the World Health Organization, and the International Red Cross, the contributors explore the political, legal, ethical, cultural, and logistical aspects of effective relief work--from funding and team building to working with local NGOs.
