This paper is about an archetypal organization for delivering a new form of emergency aid. Locally -Led Advance Mobile Aid (LLAMA) is to be deployed when civilians trapped in conflict are dying and the chance of reaching them in time with conventional relief and protection is unlikely. The following aspects are explained:

- How LLAMA is designed
- How LLAMA unfolds
- What LLAMA asks of patrons
- What LLAMA can give patrons.

The document also addresses issues related to the security of LLAMA teams and civilians, and to the consistency of LLAMA with laws and precedents regarding sovereignty. The last section is dedicated to the humanitarian principles on which LLAMA is based.
