Chronic Crisis Sudan: Addressing Food Insecurity Through an integrated approach, the project will reach food insecure communities through unconditional cash transfer and WASH as part of the short-term interventions. The mid-term outcome focuses on increasing food and water system stability through inter-communal natural resource management and construction of a multi-purpose water system. The project plan should be read in conjunction with the Regional Hunger Crisis which provides an overarching operational and accountability framework for all countries as part of the Regional Appeal. SRCS intervention strategy is primarily to respond effectively to the unfolding emergency and promote self-reliance through the priority sectors of food security, WASH and health and nutrition of those affected by hunger. The total estimated number of beneficiaries amounts to 164.740 people in food insecure communities (IPC 3 or IPC 4) in Geneina, Habila, Sirba and Jebel Moon. This project will focus on 4 localities where SRCS has already been working the past few years with support of NLRC, including Geneina (661,666), Habila (135,256), Sirba (200,848), and Jebel Moon (70,226).

Kenya - Drought (SHO hongersnood) This revised Emergency Appeal seeks 25,062,572 Swiss francs (increased from 9,107,628 Swiss francs) to enable the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to support the Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) in assisting 1,033,300 people (an increase from 340,786 people) for twelve months. The expanded operation will focus on the following sectors: Health, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Livelihoods, Nutrition and Food Security. The Kenya Drought Emergency Appeal was launched in November 2016 seeking 3.8 million Swiss Francs to support 114,620 beneficiaries across 19 counties. The appeal was launched due to the poor performance of the long rains in March-May 2016. As a result, some pastoral and marginal farming communities in the arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) of the country experienced moderate to severe drought. ASALs make up more than 80 per cent of the country’s land mass and are home to approximately 36 per cent of the population. The second revision of the emergency appeal is brought on by greater need for 1) Health and Nutrition 2) WASH and 3) Food Security and Livelihoods interventions in 14 counties, now including Laikipia county. On nutrition, there is a great increase in the number of people who require support, especially on the number of children with acute malnutrition.
CEA Boost project C6ote d'Ivoire This project consists of two parts: 1) a series of training and awareness-raising activities for staff and volunteers on the integration of the Community, Engagement and Accountability in the implementation of their activities; and 2) insisting on the establishment of a community feedback system corresponding to the communities. Strengthening the Community Engagement and Accountability (CEA) of the Croix-rouge Côte d'Ivoire. There will be a strengthening of the existing community feedback system with the identification and popularization of collection mechanisms within communities. CEA focal points in local branches will be identified in order to bring back in a very short time, community feedback through digital tablets for some. Sessions to update the registration matrix will provide a credible database that corresponds to the concerns and needs of the communities. The coordination team will have this database to refine their operational strategies but share it with the communication team of the Ministry of Health after treatment.

Forecast based Financing Response Preparedness Programme in Uganda Innovative approaches in response preparedness: Forecast-based financing, Data preparedness and Cash Transfer Programming in Uganda to reduce the impact of climate change on the most vulnerable people. Currently, many predictable extreme events result in disasters and suffering, which iscprojected to be aggravated by climate change. Using climate and weather forecasting, the impact of these events can be reduced and sometimes avoided if action is taken to prepare for disaster. Effective response preparedness has become even more critical, as in the last 10 years the number of people affected by crises has almost doubled, while the cost of international humanitarian aid has tripled. - Forecast-based Financing (FbF): By setting up an impact-based forecast system, which comprises Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that include prioritized actions for pre-identified forecast-based triggers coupled with committed funding, both a plan and funding are available for early action to save valuable time (and money) in response.
- Data Preparedness: The use of data strengthens FbF in various ways. It supports the determination of forecast-based triggers and enables unbiased, quick and relatively low-cost targeting for early action based on a risk map that is compiled from open data of various stakeholders. Also, analysis of data over the years enables to get the historical perspective and helps predicting the future.
Cash Transfer Programming (CTP): By building up CTP capacity to be instantly ready when early action is triggered by forecasts, then cash distribution could be a relevant, cost-efficient and fast early action to support those at risk. The proposed programme will target based on risk mapping. There is no pre-defined emphasis on gender, but gender and diversity guidelines will be mainstreamed into the programme. Special attention goes to refugee populations due to their increased vulnerability. The proposed programme will target areas based on risk mapping using the INFORM risk framework throughout Uganda.
Emergency aid for cholera affected communities in South Sudan This programme contributes to the procurement of Non-food-items and storage of these Non-food-intems in the contingency stock by South Sudan Red Cross Society, following the conflict that broke out in December 2013 the SSRCS depleted the contingency stock made available by the NLRC.
Guatemala Floods The amin objective of this operation is to implement a humanitarian aid operation aimed at addressing the urgent needs of 3,500 people (700 families) affected by the floods in the department of Alta Verapaz through livelihoods (CTP and food distribution), health and water, sanitation, hygiene promotion actions, as well as actions to reduce the prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases. Since the beginning of September 2017, heavy rainfall has affected Guatemala; nevertheless, despite the increased precipitation, soil saturation was gradually decreasing in some parts of the country. On 28 October 2017, the situation took a turn for the worse when Tropical Storm Selma dumped 250 mm of rainfall  on Guatemala, increasing  soil saturation and causing landslides and flooding, which have affected  the department of Alta Verapaz most severely;  the accumulated in rainfall in October, which peaked in the last week of October, has wreaked  havoc on towns such as  La Franja del Polochic, Tactic and Cobán in the department of Alta Verapaz, leaving them cut off and in dire need of humanitarian assistance.

Migration Operational Plan 2017 FYROM This operational plan outlines the results that the IFRC aims to achieve in collaboration with the Red Cross of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to respond efficiently and effectively to the migration crisis in 2017. In 2014, the number of migrants entering the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYR Macedonia) started rising, and then significantly increased in 2015. Following the closure of borders along the Balkan route in February 2016, people previously on the move became unable to continue their journeys. Initially there were 1,600 people stranded in FYR Macedonia, however the figure decreased to approximately 300 by the end of 2016 as migrants found alternative routes out of the country. In the second half of 2016, migrants started crossing the borders into FYR Macedonia from Greece and Serbia irregularly in their desperate attempts to continue their journey towards the Western European countries, often without success. Those entering the country in this way stay in the woods for days making them especially vulnerable. According to the data from the Red Cross (RC) of FYR Macedonia approximately 500 migrants cross the borders each month on average. For the people who remain stranded, provision of continuous assistance needs to be ensured and adapted to a longer-term approach. Given the uncertain political environment in the country as well as the withdrawal of other humanitarian agencies, the RC of FYR Macedonia is now the only humanitarian organization currently operational supporting migrants, and is in need of external support. The response of RC of FYR of Macedonia has been adapted to respond to the needs of migrants who may stay in the country throughout 2017, and to those who continue to arrive irregularly. In close coordination with the Crisis Management Centre of the government and other agencies, such as UNHCR and Save the Children, it has been agreed that RC of FYR of Macedonia continues with their operation both in the centres and the at the border areas as the lead humanitarian organization. Consequently, the RC of FYR Macedonia continues to be responsible for provision of food, hygiene parcels, clothes and first aid whenever needed. Red Cross teams provide hot meals twice a day and health assistance to people in the reception centres. Within the centres all sanitation services are carried out by the state institution "Institute for Public Health." Due to the increasing number of irregular migrants at the border areas, RC of FYR Macedonia has established a small unit with a warehouse and a mobile team in Lojane/Lipkovo region. With the help of the unit and the team the RC of FYR Macedonia is able to reach those staying in the woods. Migrants entering the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYR Macedonia).

Syria crisis: supporting refugees in Turkey Since Syrian refugees began coming over Turkey's borders in large numbers, the Turkish Red Crescent has been involved in mitigating the conflict's effects. Currently, long-term support and adaptation among the displaced and host communities are the focus, and help is given in terms of shelter and settlements, emergency relief, community services and outreach, and education support. The Turkish Red Crescent’s capacities are also built and operational support is given to further aid the delivery of services. The continued armed conflict in Syria has resulted in refugees spilling over it borders into neighbouring Turkey. Other regional conflicts have caused even more refugees and asylum seekers to seek refuge in Turkey. In 2015, the number of refugees and asylum seekers in Turkey is expected to reach close to 1.9 million, 1.7 million of whom come from Syria. This necessitates tremendous resources not only in terms of infrastructure, but human services as well. To provide the basic needs of hundreds of thousands of people in camps, food is distributed along with tents, and hygiene products and infrastructures are set up to improve conditions. Community services and outreach for both refugees and surrounding communities come in the form of psychosocial services and other activities that aim at building social integration and reducing stigmatisation. Since there are many children residing in camps, education and recreation activities are implemented alongside psychosocial programmes. In support of the above the Turkish Red Crescent Society's capacity is supported through increasing access to both human and materials sources to effectively respond to the needs of the displaced. This project assists Syrian refugees in camps. The projects assists Syrian refugees in camps in the following provinces: Hatay, Gaziantep, Kahramanmaras, Osmaniye, Adiyaman, Sanliurfa, and Kilis.

Green Pearls #2 - Corail (CBF project) Increased resilience of coastal communities to ecosystems’ degradation and disaster risk in the face of climate change, by restoring ecosystem services and enhancing local management of marine natural resources Part of the 4R4R Green Pearl Program in Haiti, the project JELEM, to be implemented in the Corail-Cayemites bay in 30 months, aspires to increase the resilience of coastal communities to ecosystems’ degradation and disaster risk in the face of climate change, by restoring ecosystem services and enhancing local management of marine natural resources. Aimed at mitigating storm surges and hurricanes in low-income rural areas, JELEM’s intervention will focus on coral reef and mangrove ecosystems and the fishing communities of Corail, Pestel and Cayemites communes of the Grand Anse Department living in a key biodiversity area. The projects’ approach, based on an integrated landscape restoration and management approach, encompasses seascape restoration drawing on provisioning and regulating ecosystem-services mainly related with coastal protection and fisheries maintenance. Biodiversity conservation in the face of climate change will be sustainably achieved by simultaneous integrated action with two other main dimensions of development in the Haitian context: sustainable livelihoods strengthening and disaster prevention and
preparedness. Cross-cutting elements mainstreamed into the project’s design are gender sensitivity, community participation and ownership, innovation and knowledge management. Corail, Grand'Anse department, Haiti

Improving food security in drought affected communities Malawi The priorities of the Project, complementary to the Malawi Government’s 2016-2017 Food Insecurity Response Plan (FIRP 2016-2017) are to augment existing cash-based interventions through the provision of cash transfers to enable the affected population to procure non-maize food items; rehabilitate communal sources of safe drinking water and conduct community based hygiene and sanitation campaigns; support farmers with small landholdings through training in sustainable agriculture and provision of initial farm inputs; and establishing information management systems to complement the effort of the government in surveillance and monitoring of natural hazards and health risks. Malawi is currently in the midst of a significant drought that has caused widespread food insecurity and a safe water crisis - a result of climate change and the El Niño phenomenon. The prolonged dry spell and erratic rainfall negatively affected crop production in much of the country during the 2015/16 agriculture season. The proposed intervention will form part of Malawi Red Cross Society (MRCS) overarching disaster risk management, climate-change adaptation and resilient livelihoods programming. The Project is complementary to the Food Insecurity Response Plan of 2016-2017 and will be a component of the over-all coordinated response of the national food cluster, co-chaired by WFP, and will be contributing towards the reduction of the overall funding shortfall. The intervention will allow support to direct beneficiaries during the first quarter of 2017, which is the peak of the response operations.
