Chapter Chapter 2 in The Humanitarian Response Index 2008, 2009, pp 51-64 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The performance of the United States as a humanitarian actor received decidedly mixed reviews in DARA’s Humanitarian Response Index (HRI) 2007. Overall, the United States was ranked 16th among the 23 members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). These rankings range from a high of 2 for promoting learning and accountability to a low of 23 for implementing international guiding principles. The U.S. places 16th in responding to humanitarian needs, 13th in working with humanitarian partners, and 10th in integrating relief and development.
