“The humanitarian silo model is increasingly out of touch. It fails against almost any metric. It doesn't help refugees, undermining their autonomy and dignity. It doesn't help host governments, transforming potential contributors into a disempowered and alienated generation in their midst. It doesn't help the international community, leaving people indefinitely dependent upon aid, less capable of ultimately rebulding their countries of origin, and with onward movement as their only viable rout to opportunity.” HumanitarianRefugeRefugeeHumanitarianismRefugeesHumanitarian CrisisRefugee Crisis Book:Refuge: Transforming a Broken Refugee System Source: Refuge: Transforming a Broken Refugee System
“Imagine if, instead of the humanitarian silo, we could conceive of an approach that could support refugees' autonomy and dignity while simultaneously empowering them to contribute to host communities and the eventual reconstruction of their country of origin.” HumanitarianRefugeRefugeeHumanitarianismRefugeesRefugee CrisisHumanitarian Aid Book:Refuge: Transforming a Broken Refugee System Source: Refuge: Transforming a Broken Refugee System
