Urban, Oto ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (advisor) ; Granja, Monika (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis was to analyze an influence of most important humanitarian actors and evaluate their cooperation and efficiency. The task of this thesis was too to show that humanitarian and development aid doesn't have to bring expectable results every time. Low effectiveness of humanitarian activities isn't only the consequence of an insufficient coordination of humanitarian organizations, but it particularly caused by features of a given country, its institutions, its rules and non-existing democracy. On the basis of this knowledge, the analysis of humanitarian aid in Haiti was conducted in this work, which became known to the public all over the world due to a devastating earthquake in January 2010, in spite of the fact that its economic situation has been for very poor for a long time before. The thesis also points on some mistakes of humanitarian organizations in the most important sectors and suggests its solution. I see the solution in a shift from a short-term and passive aid to the long-term and actively-received aid.
