Abstract
This study uses qualitative and quantitative methods to explore how humanitarian non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in three countries tackle the challenge of limiting infection spread of COVID-19 among refugee populations. Using humanitarian engineering, cross-country comparisons will be used to examine how NGOs are addressing infection risks, with a view to informing best practice guidance for humanitarian interventions. Expected outcomes are better understanding of the challenges that NGOs face in trying to minimize spread of infectious disease while administering humanitarian assistance to refugees during a pandemic, and recommendations for NGOs and government officials for overcoming those challenges.
