JageraApr 28 2008, 05:57 PM I like it. Nothing too heavy handed, but definitely something that can help. My only possible issue would be with efficiency, with all activities from NGOs being encouraged (not required, as I read it) to be allocated through the ICRC before it can actually take place, but other than this it's great. It will help reduce unnecessary duplication and lack of communication between different aid organizations. [/quote]
That is the basic idea.
Not to really force NGOs, but to serve as something of a clearing house. Under extreme emergencies, having to deal with too many different agencies can become overwhelming.
