Source: Center for Global Development (CGD). Published: 5/9/2019. This 82-page report explores the lessons of the 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak through the lens of the U.S. and United Nations policymakers who were forced to construct an unprecedented response in real time. It tells the story of their choices around four major policy challenges: Operationalizing the U.S. government response; balancing the politics and science of travel restrictions; defining the role of a reluctant military; and coordinating complex international partnerships.

This 46-page case study is one in a series of five research pieces which fed into the analysis for The State of the Humanitarian System 2018, and describes conditions in Yemen. The continued insecurity, instability, and violence there have caused the displacement of approximately three million people, and have had a devastating impact on food security and livelihoods. The health sector response has had to deal with the indirect impacts of the war, such as the deterioration of public health systems, people’s fear of using health structures due to their frequent bombing, and significant levels of health-related malnutrition.

This 39-page case study is one in a series of five research pieces which fed into the analysis for The State of the Humanitarian System 2018, and describes conditions in Bangladesh. It focuses specifically on the response to the Rohingya refugee crisis. In order to achieve a sustainable solution, a major shift in policy will be required, easing pressure on Bangladesh, enhancing refugee self-reliance, expanding access to third-country solutions, and supporting conditions in the country of origin to allow a safe and dignified return.

This 35-page case study is one in a series of five research pieces which fed into the analysis for The State of the Humanitarian System 2018, and describes conditions in Kenya. It discusses the 2016–2017 drought in the Horn of Africa, one of the most devastating humanitarian crises in decades. Key impacts of this drought crisis were displacement, migration, and increased reports of disease outbreaks (due to water shortages), directly affecting an estimated 2.6 million people. (PDF)

This 66-page case study is one in a series of five research pieces which fed into the analysis for The State of the Humanitarian System 2018, and describes conditions in Lebanon. It discusses the Syrian crisis, which has for Lebanon become a protracted migration crisis involving refugees and the host population. These refugees, who left their home and country years ago with very few resources, are basically in need of everything: shelter, food, health care, protection, and education. (PDF)

This 42-page case study is one in a series of five research pieces which fed into the analysis for The State of the Humanitarian System 2018, and describes conditions in Mali. The situation in Mali has been affected by increased insecurity due to the fracturing of non-state armed groups, the rise of new jihadist militant groups, and the emergence of a totally new conflict in the center of the country. The health sector is dependent on funding from NGOs, and returning to a cost recovery system will have an impact on the quality of the health service. (PDF)

The purpose of this 34-page document is to detail a system to systematically collect and make available data on attacks on health care, and their immediate impact on health care in countries facing emergencies. The system's objectives include collecting, consolidating, and openly and regularly sharing reliable data on attacks on health care; and better understanding the extent and nature of the problem of attacks on health care and the consequences for health care delivery and public health.

In this one-hour, 22-minute panel discussion, speakers recount their experiences on the ground in Sierra Leone during the height of the 2014-2015 Ebola epidemic. They examine the policy and operational lessons learned that emerged from that effort; and reflect on the development and delivery of an efficacious Ebola vaccine, and how current approaches can perpetuate the exclusion of a group desperately in need of protection: pregnant women.
