This anonymous survey is for the project ‘Diaspora Emergency Action and Coordination’ (DEMAC) and it assesses the extent to which Somali diasporas based in Scandinavia have been involved in humanitarian interventions in their country of origin/country of heritage. If your answer does not appear in the list of choices, tick ‘other’ and specify. *Humanitarianism, according to the Good Humanitarian Donorship, is generally defined as “aid and action designed to save lives, alleviate suffering and maintain and protect human dignity during and in the aftermath of man-made crises and natural disasters, as well as prevent and strengthen preparedness of such situations.” It is guided by the principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality and independence.
