Abstract
Tracking and Measuring the Evolution of Humanitarian Efforts
Highlights
Purcell’s article talks about how managing humanitarian crises is much more than watching CNN and reading Twitter
Coming from a data-driven background, it is difficult to look at such chaotic events as the humanitarian crisis in the waning days of the Vietnam War or the Civil War in Syria or at our own U.S southern border and apply data-driven analysis of the root causes and how to do better
Purcell, having worked at the U.S State Department in the 1960s and in various roles with the United Nations through today, has put together an analytic-based playbook that traces how the world responded to the humanitarian crisis in Vietnam to current day issues in Syria
Summary
Purcell’s article talks about how managing humanitarian crises is much more than watching CNN and reading Twitter. Tracking and measuring global humanitarian efforts could be considered a fool’s errand. Coming from a data-driven background, it is difficult to look at such chaotic events as the humanitarian crisis in the waning days of the Vietnam War or the Civil War in Syria or at our own U.S southern border and apply data-driven analysis of the root causes and how to do better.
