First, it affects our work. If you mention these pledges that still have to be translated into actual money to fund the supports, the logistical aspects of the deployment of AFISMA and Malian forces is one. It has to be addressed to ensure the security of the country and the Malian army to recover and maintain its territorial integrity.
But to the more humanitarian aspects of our work, getting money is not like a bottomless well. If we don't have a donor, if we lack funding, we will also try to get some other donors to become interested. We are all straining to be continuously in the mindset whereby we try to optimize our efficiency.
As I said earlier, if adequately coordinated and supported, our resilience can be cost-effective in the end. In Haiti and in other countries facing a recurring crisis, you have a choice between intervening from one crisis to another, or supporting many more resident-based activities. In that case you will reduce the impact of future emergencies in this country, if the assistance is well coordinated.
Today, if I have a message to convey to you, it would be to look at these aspects and continue to support them.
