                                            Humanitarian Assistance

                                            The poorest are disproportionally affected by natural and man-made disasters, often resulting in human suffering and subsequent need for humanitarian assistance.

                                            Lack of adequate response over time to severe poverty can in itself be a cause of human and natural resource degradation and lead to humanitarian crises that require external assistance.

                                            Provision of humanitarian responses are sometimes carried out in sensitive political and security circumstances, requiring analytical ability and diplomatic capacity.

                                            IID members have been directly involved in planning, implementation and evaluation of humanitarian assistance programs delivered after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami as well as the cyclone that hit Myanmar in 2008

                                            Supported by and in conjunction with its experience from Rural Development, Natural Resource Management and Disaster Risk Science, IID provide a full range of services to support the recovery and rehabilitation aspects of humanitarian assistance activities.
