GHA-Report-2010.pdf - Global Humanitarian Assistance

DELIVERY
At the sharp end of humanitarian response is the final delivery of aid to
individuals, families and communities. For people in need, delivery agencies
– United Nations agencies, funds and programmes, the International Red Cross
and Red Crescent Movement, non-government organisations – are the key element
of the humanitarian assistance chain, and quite naturally the recognisable face
of international support. They vary from huge organisations with complex global
mandates and responsibilities that combine implementation of large amounts of
money, large numbers of staff and multi-context humanitarian interventions, to
relatively small entities that may implement in a single sector within a single country.
