  • Who's Helping Who?NGO Coordination of Humanitarian
    Who’s helping Who? NGO Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance With Special Reference to Afghanistan (1985 -2001) Arne Strand Dissertation for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Post-War Recovery August 2003 University of York Department of Politics Post-War Reconstruction and Development Unit Abstract Abstract The subject of this thesis is the coordination of humanitarian assistance in complex political emergencies undertaken by non-governmental organisations (NGOs), primarily assistance directed towards forced migrants. The study aims to address the paucity of literature and theories on NGO coordination, and focuses primarily on the situation in Afghanistan during the period 1985 to 2001. The research is drawing on the author’s field experience and an extensive literature review outlining and discussing complex political emergencies, forced migration, NGOs and NGO coordination. An empirical investigations was carried out at village level in Herat, Afghanistan, in a highly conflict-ridden environment. Questions emerging from the primary field research were then followed-up through interviews and surveys among NGOs at a regional and national level in Afghanistan, and later broadened and compared with case studies from other conflict contexts. This in order to respond to the following hypothesis: The existing NGO coordination arrangement seems to serve primarily the interests of their NGO members, by promoting their organisational interests and facilitating interagency communication, rather than serving the interests of their intended beneficiaries. NGOs are willing to join a coordinating body, but they will remain reluctant to be directed by such a coordination structure if it limits their organisational independence. The major contribution of this thesis is the empirical findings on forced migrants knowledge and views on NGOs and the assistance they provide, and to what extent such assistance meet the needs of forced migrants.
