The New Aid Paradigm
Community Development
A study of the impact of architectural humanitarian projects on communities in developing countries. This research is a state-of-play on the current delivery of humanitarian aid and then, more specifically, explores how architectural aid/humanitarian work is best under- taken and how it could evolve to better assist those in developing countries.
The report critically assesses the state, impact and sustainability of architectural humanitarian aid and proposes ways to extend the impact and scope of existing and future projects. It explores a series of projects completed by Aussie Action Abroad (AAA) from December 2013 to January 2014 in order to illustrate a more integrated approach to the construction of community facilities. Finally the report identifies a number of potential new projects and programs (including the author’s Archipelago organisation) to better address the new challenges facing developing communities and more directly fulfil Government priorities.
