Gender and Humanitarian AidGround rules (adapted from Alison Phipps) Notpartoflecturetopic
1. We start from a position of trust. We will ‘call in’ rather than ‘call out’ when possible
2. This is a learning, not a ‘knowing’ space. We respect and validate other lived experiences
3. We aim for dialogue over debate, with an emphasis on listening and empathy
4. This is a safe and open space. We also acknowledge that one persons freedom of expression can
limit another’s ability to speak
5. We will practise regular self-re ection, recognising the multiple inequalities and power relations in
the classroom.

• short-term needs (Usually emergency • Long-term programming
context) • Programs and services

guard to distribute) wider issues e.g. child marriage, child labour,
• Aid & emergency response education, empowerment, economic
• Medical care and con ict/disaster response participation
There is a humanitarian development nexus, with many programmes dealing with short-term needs
but with a long term goal, this is popular with investors.

NGOization
1970s onwards: states’ focus shifted to funding aid through donation to humanitarian organisations
Rather than providing services themselves
The organisation of humanitarian organisations = ‘NGOization’ (Choudry and Kapoor 2013, Farah 2020)
Communications o ces and marketing strategies in order to compete for funding and donor
attention
Detailed marketing strategies, with funding going into it, making them look like large for-pro t
corporations
Structures copy corporations and for-pro t institutions (Barnett and Snyder 2008)
The logos are updated every couple years, and all seem quite similar,
The logos are stamped on everything that the NGOs distribute, as well as the governments/countries
