Famine and conflict in Africa: challenges for ACORD Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE FAMINE CONFLICT EMERGENCY RELIEF DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMMES EVALUATION This paper argues, on the basis of ACORD's experience to date, that the distinction between 'emergency' or 'rehabilitation' programmes and 'long-term development' programmes in the type of areas that ACORD works, is not only unhelpful but negatively effects ACORD's ability to help the poor cope with and promote change on a sustainable basis. This goes to the heart of what we feel 'development' should be about. There are grounds for optimism, but there also good arguments for a greater degree of realism particularly as this relates to presenting an honest analysis of how far NGOs, like ACORD, can really promote self-reliance and empowerment, resolve structural food deficits, affect the market etc, given the external factors over which they have so little apparent control. 2026-09-30T11:20:34Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33382939.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Famine_and_conflict_in_Africa_challenges_for_ACORD/33382939 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
