Humanitarian programmes which need to be adapted to urban vulnerabilities in Port-au-Prince, Freetown, Charikar or Ulan Bator

Action Contre la Faim’s operations in urban environments have forced it to revise its operational methods. A city’s buildings, inhabitants and local authorities are so many interlinked factors which need to be taken into account. The organization has added value to bring to both emergency relief programmes and long-term development programmes: it is continuing to evolve, adapting and revising its methods in order to obtain the same legitimacy in cities as it has in rural contexts, where it has established a reputation for quality.
