Webinar Report - Principled Aid in Afghanistan (2024)

Executive summary

Afghanistan, one of the world’s largest and most severe humanitarian crisis, is also one of the most challenging environments for aid operations at present. Aid workers face numerous hurdles, including the ban on female aid workers, de facto authorities’ interferences, international political pressures, and other obstacles that exacerbate needs and challenge principled action and engagement. On January 10, 2024, DRC’s Diaspora Programme hosted a 90 minute webinar aimed at exploring how relief and development actors can navigate complex aid dilemmas.
