Sinopsis
Relief Chief is Mark Lowcock's behind-the-scenes
account of his experience as the world's most
senior humanitarian official8212th UN Relief
Chief. In his four years on the job, Lowcock
coordinated the work of UN agencies, the Red
Cross, and countless national and international
humanitarian groups to save lives and protect the
most vulnerable.Appointed in 2017, Lowcock was
witness to the biggest explosion in humanitarian
need in modern history. Wars, droughts, floods,
storms, earthquakes, volcanoes, and then the
COVID-19 global pandemic put humanitarian
agencies under unprecedented strain.
Long-standing crises like those in Syria, Yemen,
and the Sahel got worse. New ones arose, in
Ethiopia, Mozambique, Venezuela, and elsewhere.
Over his tenure, Lowcock raised record amounts of
money to tackle these problems, but this was not
enough to prevent humanitarian agencies from
being overwhelmed by the emergencies they were
asked to deal with, as Lowcock documents from a
personal, inside perspective.Part memoir and part
manifesto for reform, Relief Chiefnbspdepcts
the brutality, misery and inhumanity inflicted on
innocent people in crises. Lowcock recounts what
people he met in dozens of countries8212eseciall
y women and children8212shred with him about
their plight and the help they needed. He warns
that crises will continue to get worse without a
renewed global effort to tackle their causes. But
Relief Chiefnbspisalso an uplifting story of
lives saved and suffering reduced, and a
detailed, practical agenda for solving crises
faster and better in the future.
