Valuing aid
• Humanitarian aid-giving is usually taken by aid-recipients as an act of basic humanity.
• Aid can foster cooperation or bayanihan (“sogo-fujo”) or sometimes aid-dependency among affected communities.
• Efficiency, transparency, accountability, people’s participation in aid operations.
![Page 22: Disaster-preparedness in rural communities Presentation for AMDA Conference 11-19 April 2013 Okayama, Japan Isagani R Serrano President, Philippine Rural.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f0c5503460f94c1f9a6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Valuing aid
• Emergency relief, by nature is short-lived, but can be used to set the basis for long-term recovery. Example: food- or cash-for-work schemes that enable resumption of production and livelihood.
• Aid can “kill” local markets or can be a means for the local economy to “bounce back” (resilience).
