Crisis reduced by "partnership"

    NAIROBI

    The OCHA report said an "unusually close partnership" among the
    government, UN agencies, donors and NGOs contributed to the success of humanitarian activities in the northwest, reducing the negative impact of the crisis. The coordinated response "helped ensure that assistance arrived, for the most part, where and when it was needed," UN Humanitarian Coordinator Stephen Browne said in the report. The success of the
    interventions helped the government to restore security in the area, which played a key role in tempering further population displacement, encouraging the return of Rwandan refugees from the DRC and supporting the reconciliation process, the report added.
