This project investigates the current dynamics of humanitarian policy and action in Asia. Humanitarian crises that have taken a back seat in the past three years are once again in the news. How did humanitarian policy adapt during the COVID-19 peak? What have decision-makers learnt from dealing with humanitarian crises converging with a global pandemic? How have affected communities developed strategies to navigate competing priorities at the global level? How have neighbours and diaspora mobilised support, under what conditions, and to what ends to those most affected in humanitarian crises? These are important considerations that this project investigates to understand the emerging humanitarian policy landscape in Asia, its challenges, and the new dynamics of reform.
