“…Post-disaster camps represent a critical means of providing intermediate refuge and assistance to the affected population after a given natural calamity, conflict, or another form of humanitarian disaster (Manirambona et al, 2023;Clancy et al, 2022). The camps are generally run by different organizations, ranging from government bodies to non-governmental and international organizations "providers" (Costello, 2023;Harrison, 2023).…”

“…Following disasters, conflicts, and humanitarian crises relief camps are set up to offer shelter, to displaced people (Manirambona et al, 2023;Clancy et al, 2022;Zaman et al, 2020). These camps are run by groups such as organizations, government bodies, and non-governmental organizations known collectively as "providers" (Costello, 2023;Harrison, 2023;Vega & Roussat, 2019).…”

Against the backdrop of recurring humanitarian crises, the study addresses the pressing issue of housing quality in post-disaster relief camps and aims to enhance the well-being of displaced populations. The purpose of the research is to examine the influence of providers' decisions on shelter conditions. The study examines how provider choices affect the standard of housing in relief camps in Nigeria using a descriptive survey. It encompasses four camps with a combined population of 20,982 people, two in Lagos and two in Abuja. Through stratified sampling, 378 respondents were selected using Yemane's formula. Over a year, information from internally displaced people (IDPs) was gathered through standardized surveys. The study reveals that decision-making processes significantly affect housing quality, and residents' voices are often inadequately considered. The study's conclusions help comprehend the living circumstances at the relief camps in Nigeria. The originality of this study lies in its emphasis on decision-making in post-disaster housing provision. This research supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11 which aims to enhance the quality of life for marginalized communities through living conditions.

“…Resilience can be defined as people's ability and capacity to respond and cope with life's difficulties and adapt (Clancy et al, 2021;Pain & Levine, 2014). Vulnerability can be defined as the extent people, systems, or processes are exposed to risk and their capacity to cope with the impacts of that risk (Jones & Shahrokh, 2013).…”

This paper explores the interwoven lives of donkeys and the people who depend on them for their livelihoods in central Ethiopia. Drawing on data from 12 participatory workshops, insights were elicited into the ways human co-workers value and treat their donkey co-workers. Methodologically, Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and Appreciative Inquiry (AI) techniques were merged to explore the complex and multi-dimensional contributions donkeys make to participants’ lives. Findings reveal working with donkeys can make the difference between destitution and modest survival, but societal perception of donkeys as low-status animals has an impact on their owners’ lives and donkey wellbeing. This research contributes empirical insights on the valuing of donkeys and enables a deepened understanding of human-donkey relations. The combination of PRA and AI in the methodology demonstrates how to formulate a compassionate and empathetic approach for exploring donkey value and wellbeing with marginalized groups.

“…Recent work focuses on historical aspects of animals and refugees (White, 2019); how camps are shaped by the need to accommodate animals as well as humans (White, 2018); the role of working equines (horses, donkeys etc.) in humanitarian emergencies (Clancy et al, 2021); or the devastating impact of prolonged conflict on animal welfare and zoonotic disease risks in refugee and host populations (Braam, 2022). Climate change means animal and human migration need to be seen together (Blattner, 2021).…”

The Ukrainian refugee crisis: Unpacking the politics of pet exceptionalism

The rescue of pets soon became part of the humanitarian narrative of the attack on Ukraine. The open‐door policy on companion animals from Ukraine—a high‐risk country for rabies—in terms of regulatory modifications and the provision of services could be described as one of ‘pet exceptionalism’. While the influx of pets and the response to it has significance for the international refugee regime, there has been scant scholarly engagement with the movement of pets across borders during emergencies. To bridge academic knowledge gaps and suggest policy lessons, the article discusses how the management of the Ukraine pet influx fits with existing regulatory regimes and policy priorities governing companion animals, and the tensions involved. Drawing on a 6‐month desk study (March–August 2022)—the article considers the events, interactions and policy choices which shape how companion animals are received. Using the UK and Norway as examples, it suggests that the aim of the resources and procedures directed at caring for pets and helping owners is pragmatic—to safeguard biosecurity and enforce regulations while also protecting animal health and psychosocial well‐being. The term ‘pet civic consciousness’ is used to consider the notion of pets as family members, and how trust in government and understandings of biosecurity and regulatory requirements are filtered through cultural and linguistic lenses. The article identifies biosecurity, juridification, resource allocation and ethical issues of fairness across refugee populations and the intrinsic value of companion animals as central topics for future discussion.
