Humanitarian aid and public health policy: Hepatitis C in Cambodia.
The main objective is to produce a monograph based on a corpus of archives, research notes and interviews gathered over the years. This monograph will be drafted while at the Brocher.
A secondary objective and outcome will be to produce a short piece which might be circulated within MSF and communicated to partners in DNDI and WHO. Being in Brocher will facilitate exchanges around this outcome.
A third outcome will be to produce a research paper on the archiving needs of contemporary humanitarian action and on the ethical issues arising from archiving.
