'A Crisis Normalised: Civilian perspectives on the conflict in Sudan's Blue Nile State', by IRRI & NHRMO
Five years after the start of the conflict in Sudan's Blue Nile State, attacks against civilians continue unabated according to this new report by the International Refugee Rights Initiative (IRRI) and the National Human Rights Monitors Organisation (NHRMO). The report explores the views of civilians displaced from or living within Blue Nile on the causes and consequences of the conflict between the Sudanese government and Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army - North (SPLM/A-N). The report is based on interviews carried out in April and May 2016 in SPLM/A-N held areas in Blue Nile as well as in Juba and refugee camps in Maban, South Sudan.

'Humanitarian responses by local actors: Lessons learned from managing the transit of migrants and refugees through Croatia', by Maren Larsen, Elma Demir, Maja Horvat; Working Paper, IIED
The Croatian Government managed the transit of 650,000 migrants and refugees in late 2015 and early 2016 by coordinating the activities of an extensive number of international, national and local stakeholders to ensure quick and appropriate responses to these people’s needs.
The levels to which small local governments and communities were affected by the crisis and able to respond effectively were influenced by several factors. These included the rapid mobility of people in need of humanitarian assistance, the competency of local organisations that responded and the central government’s decisions about how to coordinate assistance. The response relied on local resources and communities in a major way but it spared local governments from bearing significant direct costs.
