Humanitarian agenda 2015: Politics and humanitarian action in the Georgia conflicts
Attachments
The Humanitarian Agenda 2015 project of
the Feinstein International Center undertook field research in September
2008 and August 2009 to examine the humanitarian situation in Georgia,
South Ossetia, and Abkhazia and the responses to it. The research was prompted
by renewed fighting over South Ossetia in August 2008 and was informed
by the author's extensive previous research in the region. This Case Study
assesses the humanitarian landscape, updating previous findings also gleaned
from field-based research.2 It culminates in a series of recommendations
for operational humanitarian agencies, donors, the UN, the EU, and Russian,
Georgian, Abkhaz, and Ossetian authorities.
