Subject: FMR Humanitarian reform issue now online
The latest issue of Forced Migration Review (FMR 29) with its feature section
on ‘Humanitarian reform: fulfilling its promise?’ is now online at
http://www.fmreview.org/humanitarianreform.htm
As with any reform, says UN Emergency Relief Coordinator John Holmes in his
article in this issue, “you have the believers, the sceptics and the
opponents.” The perspectives of all three camps are reflected in the 25
articles that make up this issue’s feature section on humanitarian reform –
which we hope will contribute to a constructive and fruitful debate around the
world. FMR 29, which will be published in English, Arabic, Spanish and French,
also includes 16 other articles on a wide range of subjects.
We are grateful to Concern Worldwide, OCHA’s Humanitarian Reform Support Unit,
Save the Children UK, UNFPA, UNICEF and WFP for providing financial support for
this issue.
