On 15-16 November 2017, IIED and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) hosted an international conference on how to respond to humanitarian crises in urban areas.
Here David Dodman, director of IIED's Human Settlements research group, speaks at the closing session. The conference ended with a strong message that it was time to get out into the field and engage with affected populations and also work to influence policy at all levels.
The conference was entitled 'From cities in crisis to crises in cities: towards a collaborative urban humanitarian response. ’ It was the culmination of a three-year project funded by the UK's Department of International Development (DFID), and enabled researchers and practitioners from around the globe to share the latest evidence and experiences about taking effective action when crises hit urban areas.

The 'Traditional' American full-size car, was for a long time, a body-on-frame (BOF), V8, sedan or wagon. Things changed very slowly, then a couple of Oil Crises and the Japanese invasion looked to change things pretty much forever.
Detroit fought back, and for a time 'won', but it was with the SUV-shaped interpretation of the old formula.
They still served up the old formula, for those whom it still served purpose, namely the Police, taxi, limousine service, and Florida retirees.
The Buick Roadmaster served the later - people for whom their whole life had been defined by the large American car, and were happy to keep it that way.
The car was handsome - merging the aero-look of the 1980s with the full-size proportions of the 1960s. It was fast enough too, eventually receiving a detuned Corvette V8 (though it didn't get it straight away). The car was quiet, comfortable and traditional.
The per-unit profit was not as high as the new SUVs though, so after a relatively short lifespan, its factory was given over to SUV production, and GM built their last traditional BOF car. In so doing, they handed the Police and taxi fleet market over to rival Ford, who continued with the formula through to 2012 with the Crown Victoria, and its Mercury and Lincoln platform sisters.
POLICY ROUNDTABLE
Regional Policy Dialogue on Early Warning Early Action Mechanisms for the Prevention of Food Crises
SEP 5, 2019 - 10:30 AM TO 01:00 PM GMT
IFPRI is participating in a regional dialogue, which will take place as an invitation-only event during the African Green Revolution Forum 2019 (AGRF) on September 5, 2019 in Accra, Ghana.
The AGRF brings together key stakeholders involved in African agriculture to discuss and commit to programs, investments, and policies designed to achieve inclusive and sustainable agricultural transformation in the continent.
With this year’s thematic focus on “Leveraging Digital Transformation to Drive Sustainable Food Systems in Africa,” the AGRF 2019 provides a highly suitable venue for this regional dialogue, which will contribute to recommendations for addressing the most pressing needs/challenges in analyzing and predicting food crises and the development of FSP tools, including the Excessive Food Price Variability tool, the Early Warning Hub, and other policy analysis tools.
Some key questions to be addressed at the FSP regional policy dialogue include:
Is there a need to improve the current early warning, early action (EWEA) systems to prevent and address food crises? Would it be feasible and desirable to invest in real-time monitoring instruments that make use of new digital technology, including satellite images and AI to identify food crisis risk factors?
How are existing EWEA systems currently used in food crisis-affected countries? Are they serving to provide timely and adequate responses?
Is there a need to tailor the international EWEA systems to country needs? If so how and what should donors and international organizations do? How could the Food Security Portal support such efforts?

On this beach trip, my son and the older boys enjoyed a fair amount of freedom, off on their bikes, fishing, cruising, doing those mystery "boy" things. But Ty, above, was not allowed to go along because he was too young. So here he is, stuck with the grown-ups, holding his favorite toy, watching wistfully as the boys ride away for yet another night of adventure.
Well, I actually missed a day in my 365, July 25. I had a 10 hour drive from the beach back home and I was just too exhausted to pick up my camera, so here's another shot from July 24 ~ (but that's not really the crisis) This shot is special and symbolic on so many levels.
When I first got on flickr, it was just to share my photos with family and friends. Then one of my pictures landed on Explore. A nice rush - yay me! It never happened again. So I joined the Explore chase and followed all the rules.... to no avail.
Most days, I felt like Ty - standing alone with my favorite toy - watching the rest do fun and wonderful things and posting their FP shots in their streams and just generally being better than me. I looked at photographers who post image after image of beautiful things - many of whom are my contacts and say they love my work - but I never felt that anything I did was as good as theirs. When I try to imitate it, I fail miserably. Yesterday, I checked out Explore and saw many of the same old faces, some achingly beautiful images.....and some really shitty pictures.
So I'm done. I love photography but somewhere along the way I lost perspective. I'm tired of feeling the way Ty did when I took this photo. I have to remain true to myself and post only what makes me happy, and then do what I damn well please with it. If I post 6 in one day - apologies to my contacts. If a photo goes into 20 groups, who cares? And if I post a really crappy 365 photo, feel free to laugh along with me - you 365er's out there KNOW what I'm talking about!
And to my loyal friends and contacts out there: YOU are where my Flickr treasure lies - you are all incredible photographers and wonderful people! THANK YOU!!!
Two years after the first refugees fleeing armed conflict in northern Mali stranded in this desert location near the Mauritanian town of Bassikounou , 60 000 of them continue to be rely on aid. Water, food, shelter, health care, all of these essential services in Mbera camp are being provided by humanitarian organisations, some of them funded by ECHO, the European Commission humanitarian aid and civil protection service. With conditions for a safe return home not met, according to the refugees, most of them are not planning to pack their bags anytime soon. © EC/ECHO/Anouk Delafortrie

La foto è dedicata al candidato di estrema destra alle prossime elezioni presidenziali nel Paese a stelle e strisce, cosi' ricco di risorse umane (spesso immigrate..) dalle abilità innovative nel campo dell'arte, della musica, della letteratura, del teatro, della medicina, della fotografia .. Il Paese che è conosciuto anche per il vizio di interferire nei destini di tanti altri Paesi del mondo ricco cosi' come di quello meno ricco.
Per questo è doveroso dedicare qualche riga a quel personaggio cosi' importante e cosi' carismatico.
La foto evoca, umoristicamente, scenari nostrani in modo "macabro-politico".. Campagne elettorali del Belpaese fondate su vuota retorica di qualcuno e su improbabili sogni luminosi destinati ad un popolo stanco e sfiduciato che sempre meno entusiasta si reca alle rune ..e va quindi stordito di promesse!
E' un paragone malizioso e fantapolitico, ispirato da cio' che i giornali scrivono a proposito della promessa di molti milioni di futuri nuovi posti di lavoro appena sfornata alla Convention repubblicana .. in un Paese che sta perdendo pezzi di economia reale e di welfare, non solo tormentato da uragani e alluvioni, ma specialmente da scioperi e proteste che dilagano ovunque. Proteste non solo organizzate dai sindacati dei lavoratori ma anche spontaneamente dal popolo degli scontenti, dei disoccupati, dei sottoccupati, dei cassaintegrati, degli artigiani colpiti dalla crisi
Forse quel candidato dimentica che proprio quell' economia capitalista che ha il suo paladino nel connazionale Milton Friedman, e che rischia di essere presto rilanciata alla grande, ha causato la perdita di milioni di posti di lavoro in America e in Europa.
Proprio il laisser-faire da parte dello Stato nel settore della finanza internazionale e della gestione bancaria ha consentito il nascere di gigantesche bolle immobiliari e di speculazioni incredibili basate su transazioni monetarie rapide e incontrollate che, poi, hanno devastato l'economia reale, impoverendo tutti noi..
Quel candidato estremista mormone, appoggiato dalle peggiori lobbies della Reazione locale, cancellerà, se sara' sciagurato vincitore, quelle poche leggi progressiste che hanno indotto molti ad un moderato giudizio positivo sulla leadership americana del Partito Democratico .. Mi riferisco alla riforma della Sanità pubblica che consente anche ai meno ricchi di curarsi ..
A proposito, se vediamo in un'ottica provocatoria il progetto di abolire le sovvenzioni statali alla sanità popolare, non potrebbe configurarsi proprio un caso di palese "violazione di diritti umani" ? Laggiu', nel Paese a stelle e strisce patria della democrazia e faro alle genti..
