2020: How the pandemic affected the aid sector
On 22-24 September 2020, Groupe URD was able to hold the Autumn School on Humanitarian Aid, with around thirty people (respecting relevant protective measures!) present at Groupe URD’s headquarters. In the light of recent work carried out by Groupe URD (the COVID-19 Observatory), the Autumn School underlined the need to rethink and reinvent the operational methods of the international aid sector so that it can fully play its role in meeting the challenges ahead and counter the inward-looking tendencies of societies in all crisis contexts, both in the North and the South.
