    AbstractHumanitarian action is undergoing profound changes. Beyond the emergency relief phase, it is becoming involved in the processes that enable victims to regain their autonomy and, more recently, in prevention and risk-reduction policies. This trend is similar to that experienced by humanitarian medicine which, after focusing on emergency situations, is now involved in rehabilitation and prevention programs. The concept of resilience is perfectly suited to each phase of humanitarian interventions. Moreover, local communities are increasingly seeking to achieve their humanitarian emancipation. This trend must be anticipated, specifically by profiling future aid workers, and is similar to that faced by humanitarian medicine.
