At the International Humanitarian Conference this week, the call was put out to unleash the"huge untapped potential" of Malaysian NGO's. United Nations assistant secretary-general of peacebuilding support Judy Cheng-Hopkins said that "In remote places where the UN could not enter, she said NGOs could provide the humanitarian aid, adding that NGOs could keep working on the ground to carry on projects funded by donors.
"The international humanitarian community is facing new threats generated by the combined effects of global mega-trends. The world in which we operate, is changing fast and the demands on our organisations are only increasing"
A statement by Mercy Malaysia and the International Council of Voluntary Agencies commented on the fact that NGO's have made great strides in delivering professional humanitarian aid.
