Norway's Humanitarian Policy
Report Norway’s humanitarian policy Annual report 2011 Norway’s humanitarian policy. Annual report 2011 3 Foreword Through its humanitarian aid, Norway provided considerable support to local and international humanitarian organisations in their efforts to save lives and alleviate suffering in a long line of humanitarian crises all over the world in 2011. Several new conflicts, the re-emergence of old conflicts, the continuation of chronic conflicts, new crises and extreme weather conditions complicated the picture and humanitarian efforts. Developments in North Africa and the Middle East dominated in 2011. Libya, Yemen and Syria witnessed dramatic events, resulting in large waves of refugees, armed violence and human suffering. In Syria in particular, lack of humanitarian access to the civilian population was a major problem. Difficult security situations and a lack of acceptance by the parties to the conflict meant that the conditions under which humanitarian aid could be provided were also very difficult in Côte d’Ivoire, Afghanistan, DR Congo, Sudan, South Sudan and Somalia. In the Horn of Africa, 13 million people were affected by drought and conflict in 2011. The population of Somalia was hardest hit, and the UN defined the disaster as a famine. The situation in the Horn showed that countries that have developed strong local resilience, such as Ethiopia and Kenya, coped with the crisis better than Somalia, where local resilience is weak due to long-term armed conflict. Humanitarian assistance must include efforts to strengthen resilience. Extreme weather and extreme events also had major humanitarian consequences in 2011. The earth- quakes in Japan and Turkey and exceptionally strong monsoon rains in Pakistan all caused widespread destruction in affected areas. -

Unnfangelsen av ideen om et tettere samarbeid og etableringen av en koordinatorstilling som «bindeledd mellom organisasjonene og Norad» oppsto sommeren 1990 – i dialog mellom Norads informasjonskontor og RORGene. Etter søknad fra RORGene sommeren 1991 ble det ansatt to koordinatorer på deltid ut året, Nina Onsum og Margit Husevåg. Norad nølte, men etter litt fram-og- tilbake mellom Norad og RORGene på nyåret 1992 ble jeg tilbudt stillingen - på heltid. Jeg startet i jobben i månedsskifte februar/mars 1992. Siden har jeg blitt der/her – i gode, men også «onde» dager. RORG-samarbeidets historie er i stor grad også en del av min egen historie de siste 20 årene. RORG-samarbeidet ble født i strid – i strid med Norad om innhold og innretting av det statlig støttede opplysningsarbeidet om internasjonale utviklingsspørsmål, om de frivillige organisasjonenes uavhengighet og integritet og om forvaltning av støtten. Striden oppsto etter mange års tett og nært samarbeid med Norad informasjonskontor, først under ledelse av informasjonssjef Leif Vetlesen og på 1980-tallet under ledelse av Halle Jørn Hanssen. Og sentralt i oppbygging av dette samarbeidet sto Egil Magne Hovdenak, som var ansatt ved Norads informasjonskontor i 21 år – fram til 1992. -
