    International engagement in fragile states: lessons from Southern Sudan

    Opinion - Articles and blogs - 4 November 2009

    Southern Sudan has been seen as a test case for international engagement in fragilestates. But a 'business as usual' approach is failing to address the specific challenges facing Southern Sudan. As a result, its people have yet to see the improvements in their daily lives that are so essential for the peace process.

  8. Providing Aid in Insecure Environments: Trends in violence against aid workers and the operational response (2009 Update)

    Publication - Briefing papers - 6 April 2009
    HPG Policy Briefs 34
    Abby Stoddard, Adele Harmer and Victoria DiDomenico

    In 2008, 260 humanitarian aid workers were killed, kidnapped or seriously injured in violent attacks – the highest yearly toll on record. The majority of these attacks took place in just countries: Sudan, Afghanistan and Somalia. Kidnappings in particular have increased since 2006, increasing 350% compared since 2006. The fatality rate of aid workers from malicious acts alone surpassed that of United Nations peacekeeping soldiers in 2008. In the most violent contexts for aid workers, politically motivated attacks have risen relative to common crime and banditry, as international aid organisations are perceived as part of Western geopolitical interests.

  10. Where to now? Agency expulsions in Sudan: consequences and next steps

    Publication - Discussion papers - 26 March 2009
    ALNAP Lessons Papers
    Sara Pantuliano, Susanne Jaspars and Deepayan Basu Ray

    This joint ALNAP-HPG paper focuses on the recent expulsion of NGOs from Sudan. It offers a snapshot of what expelled aid agencies were doing, where they were based and the type of assistance they were providing at the time of their departure. It looks at the challenges these agencies had to tackle, how their programmes evolved, the extent to which these agencies had developed contingency plans and the challenges involved in scaling up operations to make up for the shortfall in services. The paper also discusses the immediate implications and suggests ways forward for international NGOs, the UN system and donors.
