Help the Helpers, Medical Aid during COVID-19 crises in Zambia Contribution of the 3FM SR 2020 and 2021 COVID Campaign to ZRCS for COVID-19 intervention, and to the health care system in Zambia. Under the main focus of “Help the Helpers”,  the main strategy will be to support health care workers, Red Cross volunteers/staff, within the COVID-19 response under the protection, care and support e.g. IPC knowledge, PPEs; but also, PSS. Necessary tools will be provided to ensure good care and support such as medical Supplies & equipment, IPC and related training.
Besides prevention work will be built in to support the overall aim of decreasing morbidity and mortality due to COVID-19. This includes more prevention at a community level, better access to care and higher healthcare-seeking behavior (e.g. reducing barriers such as stigma, fears addressing PSS and RCCE); and better care at Health facilities. 
Overall support to National Society Development (NSD) is important for continuity/sustainability.  The National Society will implement the project around three (3) pillars, building on what has been set up and areas that capacity and expertise exists already; The 4 target districts Solwezi, Kitwe, Livingstone and Chirundu are at-risk districts because of the geographical location and the state of infrastructure, the recent health update showed that the cases of covid-19 in the four districts were steadily rising, posing a huge risk of affecting many people The project target will include; heath staff, volunteers, covid patients and families, people with chronic diseases and the general public. The project will target the 4 districts which have the following population
1.	Kitwe 517543
2.	Livingstone 139509
3.	Chirundu 47 344
4.	Solwezi 254 470
Total  958,866  people
Based on resources available and capacity ZRCS will target 40% as direct beneficiaries = 383.546 people, whereas the remaining 60% will be targeted as the indirect population of 575,320 people. Of those, the project will target 50% females and 50%, males. 
The project will target at least 80 volunteers, 20 from each district.
Beneficiaries will be selected in line with set criteria including age brackets. The beneficiary’s selection will include health staff, community leaders, branches and CBOs. Gender mainstreaming and consideration will be included at all levels of the project implementation. A needs assessment with a gender and inclusion lens is the first step in providing humanitarian assistance that is effective, safe and restores dignity The project will be implemented within the communities of Solwezi district (North-western province), Kitwe district  (Copperbelt), Chirundu district  (Lusaka province) and Livingstone (Southern province). Solwezi and Kitwe are more mining and en route border towns linking Zambia to the DRC with the heavy traffic flow of goods (imports and exports) while Chirundu and Livingstone are more on crop agriculture, tourism, fishing and are also border towns with heavy traffic flows to neighbouring Zimbabwe.  The location of the target districts possesses a huge risk of covid-19 transmission.
Chronic Crisis Case for Support People on the Move Africa The Migration Case for Support is IFRC's Global Route Based Migration Programme. Every day, people make the decision to undertake dangerous and arduous journeys in search of safety or better opportunities. During their travel, migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and other displaced people face extraordinary challenges. Their lives, dignity and human rights are at risk and they are often confronted with constrained access to food and water, shelter, information, healthcare and communication. In the Africa region, the Global Route Based Migration Programme will be in implemented by 15 National Societies in West and Central Africa, East Africa, and the Sahel regions (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, the Gambia, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan, and Togo). The programme is designed to be scaled up and extended as routes and needs evolve.
Combatting ebola in Guinea 2014 The Red Cross Society of Guinea works to contribute to the reduction of Ebola-related morbidity and death. Operations focus on emergency response, recovery of health and care, disaster preparedness and risk reduction, food security and livelihoods, and developing Guinea’s Red Cross Society. Since the virus has persisted, operations also include long-term recovery planning to help manage the broader impacts of the outbreak. 2014's Ebola epidemic in West Africa is the largest to date, and the first ever outbreak in West Africa. The epidemic in the region began in Guinea and then spread to the neighbouring countries of Liberia and Sierra Leone. There were also outbreaks in Senegal, Nigeria, and Mali. Guinea is the only country, in West Africa or otherwise, where the virus persists. Since the goal of the project is to completely stop the spread of the virus to where there are no new cases, control of the virus is key. Here, health activities, awareness messaging and psychosocial support for communities, especially those that are hotspots for the virus, are provided along with other means of increasing communities' understanding of the virus. Health infrastructures are also improved to be able to more effectively trace and monitor potential outbreaks and increase resilience. Food-for-work assistance is given because the virus restricts movement, having negative economic effects. The target for the appeal remains the entire population of Guinea, given that everyone is potentially at risk of contracting Ebola. Interventions will be particularly targeted at women and children, as well as people with disabilities. This project takes place throughout the country, since everyone is potentially at risk for contracting Ebola. However, focus is give to areas where active transmission occurs and areas with highly vulnerable populations.
Mongolia - Air Pollution and Influenza A On 15 January 2019, due to the outbreak of Influenza A (H1N1) virus in Mongolia, the State Emergency Commission meeting was called. The Ministry of Health stated that Influenza A cases were confirmed to be H1N1 in the end of December 2018 and since then it had rapidly spread within a short period of time. By January 2019, 9 districts of Ulaanbaatar city and 11 provinces have been spread to outbreak, ranging from 11-23.5 per cent with a national average of 10.6 per cent of total outpatient examinations. From the total number of Influenza cases, 30.9 per cent are children aged 0-1 year, 26.5 per cent children aged 2-4 years and 14.1 per cent children aged 5-9 years. As of 3 January, the outbreak became higher than three years’ average and four deaths have been registered in January. The situation has worsened, and the risk of outbreak rapid increase is high in urban areas due to several factors including air pollution, high population density, extremely cold temperatures dropping lower than -40oC and socioeconomic situation of households. It must be emphasized that due to poor air conditions in Ulaanbaatar2, the infants and children in the city are most exposed and vulnerable to the outbreak3. The air pollution is mainly caused by coal combustion of individual households which mainly emits PM10, PM2.5 pollution that increases during the cold season that continues from October to April. The fatality risk is high due to the Ulaanbaatar City air quality is 133 times worse than WHO standard level. For the last 10 years, incidences of respiratory diseases increased 2.7-fold in respiratory infections per 10,000 population. Children aged 0-5 years are the most vulnerable, pneumonia becoming the second leading cause of death of children aged 0-5 years. In 2018, the pneumonia death among children increased by 40 Health. The operation aims to directly reach 30,935 (10 per cent of the total number of elementary school children, ages 6 to 10 years) through Influenza and pneumonia prevention and health promotion activities and 9000 parents of under 5 and kinder garden children will be reached through public awareness campaign. The indirect reach will be 111,366 parents and family members of the elementary school children. Mongolia - 21 provinces and 9 districts

The epidemic in the region began in Guinea and then spread to the neighbouring countries of Liberia and Sierra Leone. These three countries comprised the heart of the outbreak, having more than 11,000 deaths and over 28,000 cases between them. There were also smaller outbreaks in Senegal, Nigeria, and Mali. This programme facilitates coordination and support, to avoid and mitigate an outbreak like in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Nigeria, and Mali This project supports HRCS in Benin, Cote d'ivoire and Guinea This project supports HRCS in Benin, Cote d'ivoire and Guinea
Shelter for refugees from DRC into Zambia 2017-2018 Response to refugee influx, coming from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The objective of the refugee shelter project is to reduce vulnerability due to a forecasted above normal rainfall in the Northern part of Zambia in the upcoming rainy season. Violence and repeated armed clashes in several provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are causing alarming levels of human suffering resulting in large scale displacement. As a result, there is currently an influx of about 4,000 refugees into Zambia, the number is increasing by the day.  Stakeholders; UNHCR contingency plan predicts an increase of up to 20,000 people by the end of the year.  ZRCS with support of IFRC / DREF, NLRC / DRU, UNHCR and UNICEF will cover an estimated 7000 people (35% coverage). Therefore, this fund is foreseen to be a top up on the available resources to cover up to 20,000 people. The project aims to provide access to adequeate shelter and sanitation 10.000 people Zambia, the project will run in 6 border reception centres including the established longer-term settlement

Project Open Studio Gaza III Open Studio is an after-school recreational center located in PRCS’s Khan Younis Branch “Center of Ability” where both disabled and non-disabled children participate in a variety of activities designed to encourage creativity, self-expression, and exploration. Open Studio was first started in 1997 when PRCS invited a group of Dutch artists to work with local children in Khan Younis, Southern Gaza Strip, and it has since grown into a vital hub for children in the Khan Younis community. Open Studio has various activity areas, including: a studio for visual arts & puppetry, an art room, a music and dance room, a drama area, a computer room, a general activity and training room, a library, a toy library, and a sports hall/physical activity room. A multidisciplinary team of specialists from the PRCS Rehabilitation Center including a psychologist, social workers, a physiotherapist, and a speech therapist, together with PRCS’s Psychosocial Center staff, support Open Studio staff to work with the children. Across the oPt, 2.4 million Palestinians are in need of some form of humanitarian assistance, around three-quarters of whom live in Gaza. The most vulnerable families urgently need support to cope with the protracted humanitarian crisis. Within these families, the disabled remain among the most hidden, neglected, and socially excluded of all displaced people today. In particular, children with disabilities are one of the most marginalized and excluded groups in society. Facing daily discrimination in the form of negative attitudes, lack of adequate policies and legislation, they are effectively barred from realizing their rights to healthcare, education, and even survival During this third project period, Open Studio staff will continue to support disabled and non-disabled children in the local community to play together and express themselves creatively in a safe and fun environment. The focus will be on increasing the children’s skills such as art, drama, creative writing, sports, and music. Children (both disabled and non-disabled) living in Gaza Open Studio, Gaza

Conflict in Syria: supporting Syrian refugees in Jordan The Jordanian Red Crescent provides support to Syrian refugees and works on strengthening its capacity to better respond to and support refugees’ needs in health, relief, and shelter. The armed conflict in Syria has spilled over its borders into neighbouring Jordan, where there are over 627,000 registered refugees while an estimated 100,000-200,000 remain unregistered. Continuing armed conflict in Syria, which also sends already displaced Palestinians from the country spilling into Jordan, and Iraq ensures a consistent stream of individuals fleeing into Jordan needing services and shelter to survive. Since Syrian refugees and surrounding communities require a number of services, this project provides both food and non-food items, psychological support, shelter, assists in reuniting families, and provides hygiene-related items such as baby and hygiene kits. Over 35,000 people have been reached with psychological support, 31,203 Syrians and Jordanians have been reached with community health programmes, 1,170,000 kg of bread has been distributed, and medical treatments for over 1,000 patients have been financed. The Jordanian Red Cross' capacity continues to be increased through trainings. The project assists Syrian refugees in Jordan. The project takes place throughout Jordan.
Zimbabwe - Cyclone This project sees that the immediate shelter and water, sanitation, and hygiene, and health needs of 2,500 flood-affected individuals are met through the provision of essential emergency relief assistance. Between January and March 2017, Zimbabwe experienced severe flooding across 37 districts of the country, which damaged local infrastructure, livelihoods, transportation routes, and homes. The above average precipitation during this period was exacerbated by the rains brought about by tropical depression “Ex-Dineo”, which caused significant flooding particularly in the southern parts of Zimbabwe. Originating from the Mozambique Channel, Tropical Cyclone Dineo (CAT I) made landfall in Mozambique on 15 February 2017 near Inhambane, southern Mozambique bringing with it strong winds exceeding 100km/hr, torrential rain, and very rough seas. The project covers the immediate needs of affected populations through water, sanitation, and hygiene promotion, providing health and care programming and emergency shelter and household items, along with carrying out multi-sectorial needs assessments. This project reaches 2,500 flood-affected individuals. This project takes place in the following provinces: Matebeleland South; Midlands; Mashonaland West; Masvingo; and Matebeleland North.
3FM Serious Request 2013: Reducing child mortality due to diarrhoea in Malawi The programme in Malawi aims at reducing under-five child morality through decreasing incidences of diarrhoeal diseases in targeted communities in Phalombe. In carrying out this outcome, improving access to safe water supplies, household sanitation facilities, knowledge of hygiene practices, and increasing capacity of Malawi's Red Cross staff and volunteers to manage projects, and gender and HIV and AIDS issues is also carried out. Malawi's Phalombe district has high child mortality rates, at 87 deaths per 1000 live births, soaring above the national average of 53 deaths per 1000 live births. Phalombe also has a history of cholera, and bloody diarrhoea and dysentery are endemic, with rates rising, signalling poor personal and food-related hygienic practices. Diarrhoea hits children the hardest, and is one of the leading causes of death in the district. To compound these factors, 36% of households in the district are food insecure. Improving water, sanitation, and hygiene is approached using community-based and infrastructural improvement work. Community members and leaders are trained in key hygiene practices, and latrines and household hand-washing facilities are constructed alongside other improvements, such as water treatments, training of volunteers, awareness campaigns and project planning support. Red Cross partners and targeted communities are also included in developing effective monitoring and evaluation systems, and surveys are used to gather local attitudes and knowledge on sanitation. Children, both those under and over five years old, are targeted, totalling some 215,000 individuals. Vulnerable populations, such as the chronically ill, individuals with HIV and AIDS, the elderly, and the ultra poor are also targeted. The project takes place in the Phalombe district of Malawi.
