Risk management in a humanitarian context - how can the application of risk management activities to initial registration in Dadaab increase societal safety?

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to establish the relationship between initial registration and societal safety, to make the reader aware of how the UNHCR in Dadaab is conducting initial registration, and to show that the application of risk management activities on camp management activities can increase the reliability of an operation. The thesis will show that the identification of vulnerabilities embedded within a system, and implementing measures to control and mitigate, them will prevent a registration crisis The reason for the research is the incentive to apply risk management theories, developed to understand high technological disasters, to the humanitarian context.
