I think it's definitely perceived more favourably, especially in the cases where an NGO has already been present on the ground, and these are most cases. When we just fly in, there is the same problem with perception, especially with lots of people flying in, but when we're already on the ground there is a definite difference in perception in terms of our objectives, our aims. They simply know us. We've been around for a long time, so the credibility question is definitely easier for us.
There was another aspect you asked about. Was it just perceptions? Perceptions, definitely, and you see that all the time.
I think there is also a difference.... You cannot apply it universally, so when the crisis is extremely huge, like Haiti, then people don't really care who's giving them assistance. If they need medical assistance, then they need medical assistance, and they're not necessarily selective about who is saving their lives. I think the biggest advantage for us is that we've already been on the ground, so they know us. We're civilians. We talk to them. We live with them. We live in the community. We usually talk their language. Most of our staff is national staff, so it's very different, I'd say.
