Haïti: "Une grande majorité de personnes vivant dans plus d'un millier de camps de déplacés en Haïti depuis le séisme de 2010 souhaite partir mais n'a pas les ressources financières pour le faire". Voilà ce qui ressort d'un récent rapport publié cette semaine par l'OIM, ACTED et Communication with Disaster Affected Communities (CDAC). "Ce sondage d'intentions ébranle l'idée selon laquelle les gens vivent dans les camps par choix. Le sondage indique que c'est l'extrême pauvreté, aggravée par le séisme, qui laisse des centaines de milliers d'Haïtiens sans abri", a déclaré Luca Dall'Oglio, chef de mission de l'OIM en Haïti.

We spend $10bn a year on humanitarian emergencies, but most projects are run without asking how beneficiaries feel about them.
Lord Ashdown's review of how the UK responds to humanitarian emergencies points to a major shortcoming in today's humanitarian aid system: the absence of a systematic effort to assess whether beneficiaries are satisfied with the efforts made on their behalf by UN agencies and NGOs.
