Aid Worker Voices

National humanitarians: you are invited to share your voice

“Humanitarian and development organizations are a hidden world where injustice is prevailing. This research is very important as it focuses on hearing voices of humanitarian and development workers that try to contribute in changing the lives of needy but are being pulled back by injustices. Please take the time to have your voice heard.”

-Sammel Lemma, Ethiopian humanitarian

Listening to humanitarians from the ‘Global South’

Our invitation to share your voice
If you are a humanitarian worker (aid or development) from the so-called ‘global South’ you are invited to share your views by responding to our global survey. More detailed information about this research can be found linked here and you can meet the research team here.

By ‘global South’ we mean people from nations in red in the image to the right.

There are two versions of the survey, each in three languages. The ‘long version’ with 50 questions may take near 30 minutes to complete. Please take this version if you have the time.

The ‘short version’ with 25 questions should take about 15 minutes or less.

Please take the one version that fits your schedule and interests the best. Any gift of time you take completing the survey is deeply appreciated.

This research has been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at Elon University.

Our purpose
The purpose of this survey is to learn about the views and lives of national humanitarian workers. More specifically, we want to hear from humanitarians who are from the so-called ‘Global South’.  Our goals are to share this knowledge with the humanitarian (aid and development) community.

This survey covers a wide range of topics. Though most questions require only a short answer, you are encouraged to offer additional insights in the spaces provided throughout. Your written responses are all OPTIONAL, but please take the time to offer your views if at all possible.
