Apologies x-posting
Dear colleagues
In case these passed you by, a couple of articles
suggesting survivors, local institutions and
indigenous agencies should be in the driving seat of
this and other disasters, plus an interesting
challenge to the established order from African NGOs
in terms of their capacity building and role in
response.
