Distinction between public advocacy for fund raising v humanitarian diplomacy se funds and humanitarian diplomacy --- I've seen National Societies present plans for fund raising under a humanitarian diplomacy heading. While they do intend to use the funds raised for humanitarian ends and do raise them in a way that increases awareness of the humanitarian needs among the public or other target donors, it seems different from humanitarian diplomacy seeking to change influential actors behaviour. Is there a danger of the language of humanitarian diplomacy being exploited or diluted?
