This research investigates humanitarian responses in contexts with heavy involvement of non-state armed groups (NSAGs) and assertive state governments, where external humanitarian assistance is obstructed. Focusing on three diverse contexts (Haiti, the Western Sahel, and Ethiopia) the study delves into the role of civilian-military coordination and negotiating in facilitating humanitarian access amidst such challenges.

In partnership with the Refugee Dream Center, this project documents the personal experiences of Afghan civilians who worked with the US military experienced the evacuation from Kabul.
