Humanitarian Program Decisions: From Rapid Assessment to Transition

A two-host teaching discussion for Wake Forest Wilderness Medicine fellows, paired with June didactics. A hypothetical humanitarian program follows rapid needs assessment, an action-oriented report, a logical framework with verification and assumptions, and program adjustment and transition. Three discussion pauses connect source concepts with practical program decisions.

Sole factual source: Bruce Lampard and colleagues, Global Humanitarian Medicine and Disaster Relief, Auerbach's Wilderness Medicine, 7th edition (2017), chapter 84, 37 physical PDF pages. Historical statistics, standards and agency examples are not presented as current policy. This focused case complements the existing disaster overview and does not narrate the entire chapter.
