Mr. Maurice McQuillan:

Our default position is to work alongside local non-governmental organisations. Only in extraordinary circumstances do we put vast numbers of northerners on the ground. However, our default position can present challenges. In large humanitarian crises, for example, one must revert to using the technical expertise those from the north can bring. However, we tend to revert to working with what is available in the area, as that will remain after we have left.
