Do we sell ourselves short? --- I always thought that humanitarian organisations have enormous amount of power, whether due to financial resources, networks, or ability to mobilise.

Do humanitarian organisation generally take a very conservative approach to negotiations which always leave them on the back foot? Is it possibly because we don't really know our own value?
