What are the ethical issues involved in providing humanitarian aid? What is the real impact of humanitarian groups? MSF sought to answer these questions in the Perception Project, a study that spanned four years and more than ten countries. Close to 7,000 people were interviewed in order to understand the ways that patients, populations, authorities, and communities perceive MSF’s principles and medical practices. As a medical humanitarian organization, MSF struggles with the ability to respond to crises, the safety of its teams, and the development of effective interactions with populations and authorities. Perception has a considerable impact on both the quality of operations and the safety of staff and therefore requires special consideration.

This book is a series of reflections on the Perception Project that presents the insights and analyses of authors from a diverse array of fields including communications, ethics, medicine, humanitarian studies, and political science. At a time when humanitarian aid is under increasing scrutiny, this book provides perspectives on how MSF can better serve those in need.
