That's an important question. Unfortunately, in many cases, conflicts are ongoing. COVID-19 has exacerbated the challenges of responding in some situations. A pandemic adds another layer to a conflict or natural disaster, which can be interconnected. Unfortunately, the needs in that regard still exist. As I mentioned in my opening statement, we live in a world where certain events occur over and over again. Instead of always putting out the fire, we need to build the fire station.
I'll give you an example that left an imprint on us. In 2004, we all heard about the tsunami that hit Indonesia, and the international community responded. A few years ago, another tsunami hit, but this time, the country provided 90% of the response. It had built its own capacity with a focus on its specific needs. The same thing happened in Kenya, which had also engaged in capacity-building.
We need to start paying attention to how countries are restructuring their approaches to see how we can help them differently. That means supporting their efforts to build capacity and local resilience. Instead of always relying on programs to put out fires, we can actually build the fire stations.
