More Definitions of Assisting actor

Assisting actor means any assisting humanitarian organization, assisting State or other foreign entity or person responding to a disaster on the territory of the affected State or sending in-kind or cash donations. The diversity and breadth of international actors becoming involved in major disasters has been increasing for a number of years. In addition to more “classic” actors such as other States, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, UN agencies and NGOs, more private sector entities, community organizations and individuals are becoming involved. Many international actors work primarily or partly through domestic counterparts, but others direct their assistance themselves. Domestic regulation of international relief and initial recovery must, therefore, take this into account and it is for this reason that the catch-all “assisting actor” is used in these Guidelines. In particular, the Guidelines recommend that all assisting actors should be held to certain minimum standards in providing their disaster relief and initial recovery assistance (see Para. 4 below). However, as also discussed in Para. 15, a differentiation can and should be made as to how different types of actors are regulated and facilitated.
Assisting actor means any assisting humanitarian organization, assisting State or other foreign entity or person responding to a disaster on the territory of the affected State or sending in-kind or cash donations.
