How could a new UK government rethink humanitarian policy? Humanitarian responses to disasters be designed to support livelihood systems, instead of undermining them. Here’s how 👇🧵

A “very, very common refrain” in interviews with people benefitting from Ethiopia’s social safety net programme is that it’s “not like dying, but it’s not like living either”. thenewhumanitarian.org/news-…

As starvation looms, #Ethiopia’s social safety net programme faces a funding gap Ethiopia's vital social protection program, the Productive Safety Net Programme (#PSNP), is facing severe cutbacks, leaving millions at risk of hunger. The PSNP, aiding around eight million vulnerable citizens, is one of Africa's largest welfare schemes. Due to escalating costs and reduced international support, the program is grappling with a staggering $195 million deficit over the next two years. Consequently, beneficiaries will see a significant reduction in food and cash assistance, with support dwindling by a third. These cutbacks couldn't come at a worse time as Ethiopia confronts looming starvation threats, particularly in the northern highlands ravaged by drought and conflict. The situation is dire, with regions like #Tigray experiencing "emergency" levels of hunger. thenewhumanitarian.org/news-…

Uncertain Worlds #5 – Social Assistance and Humanitarian Relief

Uncertainties are common in crises, conflicts and disasters. But relief efforts are too often designed through risk management and fixed plans.
