Humanitarian Aid on the Move No. 20

28/03/2019

On 2-4 October 2018, around thirty participants gathered at the Autumn School on Humanitarian Aid at Groupe URD’s headquarters to discuss the concept of ‘agility’, the issues that it raises, and its application in the international aid sector. This special issue of Humanitarian Aid on the Move, with articles by some of the speakers and participants at the Autumn School, presents some of the ideas that emerged, and the different facets of what is becoming an essential characteristic of teams, projects and organisations within the sector.
