SessionAbstract

Groupe URD is implementing a research project about mutual aid in times of crises, with the objective to strengthen mutual aid and self-organisation among disaster victims before help arrives and to improve links with the first line of assistance.

Six cases studies have been conducted in order to analyse and document the mechanisms of mutual aid according to the type of crisis, the socio-political contexts in which they take place and, also, according to the temporality of the crisis or disaster (before, after, during). Finally, these studies aim to understand how ‘external’ aid (international and institutional) adapts to the informal logic of mutual aid.

The objective of this webinar is to present and discuss the main outputs of this research project for humanitarian workers and relief organisations.
