• Resourcing
The resourcing of the Kosovo operation was carried out in a charged political/military atmosphere.
As in most previous emergency operations, not all sectors or agencies were equally well
funded. Earmarking of contributions was common. Some commodity donations were more appropriate
than others.
Did you observe any problems (for the target groups), or frictions between the agencies involved,
related to the unequal funding of different agencies and components.

positively which created some problems.
What is your experience? Can you comment on this?
