This collaborative research explores how Somali diaspora groups mobilize, channel and deliver humanitarian assistance to Somaliland/ Somalia during complex humanitarian crises.
Based on multi-sited fieldwork in Somaliland/Somalia, Kenya and Europe, D-Hum examines movement of goods, people, and ideas, from crisis-affected areas, hubs for humanitarian agencies and diaspora activities, to settlement countries.
Theoretically, the research develops the concept of humanitarian infrastructures to analyze material forms of transport, communication systems, and technologies as well as the institutions and social networks that facilitate humanitarian relief.
