Our new paper explores the importance of collaboration and mutual aid among local communities, civil society, and diaspora communities in response to complex emergencies. Drawing on examples from Ethiopia, Haiti, Myanmar, Sudan, and Syria, this paper examines how local mutual aid groups work with diaspora humanitarians to deliver humanitarian aid to local communities affected by crises in origin countries, providing essential support through flexible, community-centred aid, often working outside formal humanitarian systems.

There are unique strengths and challenges local mutual aid groups and their diaspora partners face during complex emergencies, shedding light on the forms of collaboration and mutual aid that they have evolved.
