Humanitarian aid does not help the underdeveloped world because when that aid is consumed they will return to the starting point and the cycle will be repeated where they will need new aid. Real aid consists of granting new opportunities where each human being can contribute and invest in order to create new businesses, also creating new jobs and making the peasant sector the fundamental base of feeding a nation gain strength. But for all this the main factor is the security of the nation in question.

Delivering Life-Saving Assistance: Humanitarian Efforts in Crisis

The first step towards being conflict sensitive is understanding the "Do No Harm" principle. In the world of development, humanitarian aid, and peacebuilding, the principle of "Do No Harm" is more than just a catchphrase—it is a moral imperative. Whether we are distributing food aid in a conflict zone or implementing a development project in a fragile context, we have a responsibility to ensure our actions don't inadvertently worsen the situation or create new problems. - Do No Harm is about carefully assessing the potential risks and unintended consequences of our interventions. - It is about listening to the voices of those affected by conflict and ensuring their needs and concerns are at the heart of our work. - In my own experience, I have seen the devastating impact that well-intentioned but poorly planned interventions can have. While conflict sensitivity is much more than just "do no harm", prioritising "Do No Harm" can ensure that our efforts truly contribute to building a more peaceful and just world. #DoNoHarm #ConflictSensitivity #Development #HumanitarianAid #Peacebuilding
