What is the biggest challenge that humanitarian organizations face?
The biggest challenge CARE faces is insecurity, due to continued fighting limited access to populations in need.
While access and issuance of travel permits to areas are improving, national policies are not always communicated and are inconsistently applied. This greatly hinders agencies’ abilities to plan and support provision of urgently needed humanitarian assistance.
CARE, in partnership with other non-governmental organizations (NGOs), is calling on the Sudanese government to ensure that humanitarian agencies have rapid, unimpeded and sustained access to populations in need and to ensure the protection of civilians, humanitarian workers and supplies. http://www.careusa.org/newsroom/featurestories/2004/aug/08172004_sudanqa.asp
