To put it into context between development and humanitarian / disaster responses. Development is about building the capacity of partners and it is driven by the partners and their owership This line get a little grey in hum/dis responses settings
To begin, we observed a deployment of international military assets that was truly remarkable in its size and scope. By our count, 35 nations dedicated 75 helicopters, 41 ships, 43 airplanes and more than 30,000 troops (including medical teams, engineers, air traffic controllers and many other needed specialties) to the relief effort. This was in many ways precedent-setting and we should capitalize on the opportunity to prepare ourselves to be (even) better the next time.
