Refugee aid and protection in rural Africa: working in parallel or cross-purposes? Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE ARMED CONFLICT HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW VIOLENCE POLITICAL VIOLENCE REFUGEE CAMPS BASIC NEEDS SOCIAL SECURITY SOCIAL SERVICES This debate has focused on how the delivery of aid can be (or is always) used to political ends.

Many humanitarian aid agencies are increasingly aware of that they must look beyond simplistic responses of offering aid and consider the wider impact of that aid on the underlying problems.
