The research process involved: in-country research; focus group discussions and key interviews with UN agencies, INGOs, NGOs, government representatives, donor agencies and community members; and a review of relevant documentation. This report follows the original publication ‘Missed opportunities: The case for strengthening national and local partnership-based humanitarian responses’.
