Consistent Approaches towards Humanitarian Principles --- To most INGOs, independence ranges from objectives and policies to details of activity implementation. However, I have witnessed UN agencies accepting government instructions on activity implementations. This approach confuses government bodies and makes it very difficult for INGOs to push for and maintain principled approaches. It would be great to know of other similar experiences and potential solutions.
