Jean-Pierre Olivier de Sardan, « Aide humanitaire ou aide au développement ? La « famine » de 2005 au Niger », Ethnologie française, ID : 10670/1.dv4m4t
Humanitarian Aid or Development Aid ? The 2005 “Famine” in NigerIn Africa, “getting a share of development aid” is at the heart of a large number of strategies, and humanitarian aid is included in that. However, none are able to offer a durable solution to the chronic problems facing the country. This case study, conducted in Niger following 2005 “famine”, which resulted in a large international response, shows a very different reality from the one usually presented by the media. Local coping strategies have been most important. External assistance has provoked misunderstanding and friction.
