It is with great pride and pleasure that I present the NRC Horn of Africa Annual Report for 2011, a short summary of the accomplishments of my dedicated colleagues in extremely difficult circumstances and in what may well be labelled the world’s most complex emergency. The year 2011 saw the Horn of Africa suffering the worst humanitarian crisis of the last decade, with hundreds of thousands displaced by a catastrophic combination of conflict, drought and famine. It is thanks to my colleagues’ tireless efforts that NRC has been able to deliver assistance to those affected by the crisis in the Horn of Africa.
