In the humanitarian sector, bureaucracy has been faulted for everything from ageism and the suppression of talent to a bloated and inefficient response, as examined by Hugo Slim on this blog last year.
But when you examine three of the main issues currently plaguing the sector — sexual misconduct, corruption and fraud, and the politicization of resource allocation — the case for watering down humanitarian bureaucracy weakens, argue Dr. Aaron Clark-Ginsberg and Mary Kate Adgie, researchers at the nonprofit nonpartisan RAND Corporation. Instead, as they outline below, what might be needed is more bureaucracy, not less. |
