16 August 2011

NAIROBI, 16 August 2011 (IRIN) - Aid agencies operating in Somalia should improve coordination among themselves and explore concrete measures beyond the drought and famine ravaging parts of the country to improve livelihoods and build the resilience of affected communities, humanitarian officials said on 15 August. "Today is about tomorrow; about what we need to do for recovery and sustainable development, not just fire-fighting," Hanny el Banna, chairman of The Humanitarian Forum, said in Nairobi during a conference on aid collaboration for the Horn of Africa. http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=93514

  1. I like this comments of improving livehood and building community.I get Idea we need to focus more for the basic needs, such as building wells and educating the leaders of the community, how to grow their own food instead giving food, because they can't live for long term,
