RP 2022-2026: Côte d'Ivoire Bilateral RP project in Côte d'Ivoire to strengthen the response preparedness capacity of the Croix-Rouge Côte d'Ivoire (CRCI). As a result, the impact of disasters on people living in vulnerable conditions is reduced. Faced with the unpredictability of disasters and the varied needs of the affected populations, the CRCI, with its limited material and logistical capacities, could increase its ability to offer a prompt and appropriate response. Structure the logistics, supply and distribution chain; improving the CRCI's multi-hazard/epidemic response in an emergency; position the CRCI as the reference organization through the establishment of a formal money transfer system that meets national and international standards; strengthening the auxiliary role, mandate and legislation of the CRCI; design and implement Disaster Risk Management policy. CRCI headquarters and branches Côte d'Ivoire. Main areas of focus:
- Areas impacted by epidemic/endemic diseases (Lagunes, Sud Comoé)
- Areas impacted by the conflicts in the North (Boukani, Tchologo)
- Areas impacted by flooding (Bas sasandra, Agneby Tiassa, lagoons)
- Areas impacted by inter-community conflicts (Cavally, Guemon, Kbadougou, Folon, Poro, Boukani, Marahoué)
2019 - Zambia - Drought (Food Insecurity) The 2018/2019 rain season was characterized by low rainfall and prolonged dry spells which negatively affected the agriculture sector, particularly crop and livestock production. The government of Zambia through the ZVAC undertook an assessment of the impact of the drought situation on different sectors during the month of May 2019. The food security situation is estimated to likely deteriorate during the lean season. The official report highlights that 1.7 million people are currently food insecure and this figure is projected to increase to 2.3 million between October 2019 and the end of the current consumption period, March 2020. Of the total population, 1,840,000 people are in crises (phase 3) and 410,000 people are in emergency (phase 4). Southern, Western, North western and parts of Eastern provinces are the most severely affected.

Iran - Floods Severe rainfalls and flash floods hit most of the Iranian provinces affecting thousands of people on 16 March 2019, a widespread flooding began with flash floods and landslides in Golestan Province, subsequently spreading further north and east, causing extensive damage to people, livelihoods and infrastructure. At least 23 out of 31 provinces across Iran are affected. While the exact impact is still to be assessed, it is already apparent that the floods have caused extensive damages and suffering in villages, urban and rural areas. Further heavy rain is expected over the coming days which will likely worsen the situation.

COVID-19 Preparedness and Response in Kassala and West Darfur, Sudan This action will support Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS) to implement their preparedness and response plan for COVID-19 in Kassala and West Darfur Branches, Sudan. The overall goal of SRCS is to contribute to the response to the COVID 19 outbreak by preventing human-to-human transmission of the virus caring for those affected in Sudan. The world is facing an unprecedented situation with the onset of the COVID-19 epidemic. In the global south, which already has poor public health outcomes, the potential impact on communities is catastrophic. People in Sudan have limited knowledge of COVID-19 and misconceptions and false information are being shared widely, including through social media. Severe restrictions, such as a full lockdown of movement outside of the home is challenging in Sudan as the economy is reliant on daily workers. Although placing extensive limitation of movement may assist to prevent the spread of COVID-19, it will likely mean food insecurity for a large proportion of the population and other high risk scenarios and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Preparing and responding to COVID-19 epidemic is further complicated in Sudan due to a declining economic and unstable political situation in-country, including ongoing protests, a new government, lack of basic commodities such as fuel and bread and increasing inflation. Supported activities include health and hygiene promotion, community surveillance, communication and community engagement and small scale wash hardware. The overall targeted beneficiaries for both states is 591,757. Kassala and West Darfur, Sudan
Myanmar- Civil Unrest response Civil Unrest Operation in Myanmar. Since 1 February 2021, Myanmar has been undergoing a political crisis with civil unrest precipitating a humanitarian crisis affecting populations across many parts of the country. The ongoing Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) includes the critical sectors, of banking, health and transport. Banking limitations and a disrupted supply chain activity have added to increased food prices and limited access to cash at a national level. Economic impacts include job loss, particularly in peri-urban areas with already vulnerable populations facing food insecurity. Myanmar’s Public health system is also severely disrupted, reducing access for medical services, particularly for people with less income and access challenges.
Sudan Floods Sudan The overall objective of this operation is to deliver assistance to 12,900 flood affected households in 5 states to meet their needs in health, water, sanitation, hygiene promotion, shelter and NFIs.

Burundi elections crisis: Complex Emergency 2016 The project intends to support the provision of immediate life-saving support to populations that have been affected by the emergency situation in Burundi, such as shelter and NFI distributions, but also by strengthening the capacity of the NS to manage the response, including those being carried out by the NS in its own right or those in collaboration with partner organizations. Since April 2015, the political and security situation in Burundi has been tense with violence continuing in the capital of Bujumbura and some provinces. As of 8 March 2016, an estimated 249,078 people (UNCHR 2016) have fled from Burundi to neighbouring countries, while increasing numbers of people have been internally displaced within the country. Apart from civil unrest, the population is also being affected by multiple emergencies, the impact of which has been exacerbated by the political and security situation. These include the El Niño phenomena, internal displacement, food insecurity, and increased risk of infections and water borne diseases (E.g. cholera and malaria). Furthermore, the current situation with political instability and violence has also had implications on the economy, which is slowly collapsing. The project provides in immediate shelter and settlement needs of the population affected by the emergency situation in Burundi for a period of six months. Meanwhile project invests in capacity building of the Burundi Red Cross Society to respond to the emergency situation in Burundi and needs of the affected population is strengthened. This project aims at reinfocement of BRCS and therefor applied to the whole of Burundi.

Contribution to the Sahel Cluster Operational Plans of 2021 and 2022 Contribution to the Sahel Cluster Operational Plans of 2021 and 2022
NLRC funding source: Block Grant 2018-2021 - Chronic Crises The rapid deterioration of the Sahel crisis has driven humanitarian needs across the region to unprecedented levels. In 2020 a new record high of 24 million Sahelians in need of life-saving assistance and protection due to conflicts, climate shocks, chronic vulnerabilities, and endemic poverty1. This situation led more people than ever before to flee their homes. In the Sahel, climate change, food insecurity, poverty, conflict, and violence have converged and are overwhelming the lives of millions of people. Mounting humanitarian need is the most visible symptom of the triple peril of severe-weather related disasters, poverty and insecurity plaguing the region. COVID-19 has made the situation even worse.

Ebola 2014: caring for affected people and preventing further spread in Liberia Controlling Ebola and containing its spread is key to preventing new infections, and towards this end the Liberian National Red Cross Society delivers operations in the following areas: health and care, disaster management and risk reduction, food security and livelihoods, safe and dignified burials, and organisational development. As the country has been declared Ebola-free as of 3 September 2015, the focus has changed to long-term recovery activities that take into account the broader impacts of the Ebola outbreak. 2014's Ebola epidemic in West Africa is the largest to date, and the first outbreak ever 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. Although Liberia has been declared Ebola-free as of 3 September 2015, Ebola has taken the lives of almost 5,000 people in the country. Community engagement is key to controlling and preventing further infections of the Ebola virus. Creating communications that raise virus awareness, and carrying out health promotion campaigns, including psychosocial support, both improve community-based health for affected populations in Liberia. Virus surveillance mechanisms are also implemented as well as ensuring safe and clean drinking water. Additionally, since the virus reduces food security in affected areas due to populations moving less, reducing economic activity, food assistance is given. In the long-term, vocational programmes for women and youth are put into place to aid recovery. The target for the project remains the entire population of Liberia across all 15 counties, as everyone is potentially at risk of contracting Ebola. In the recovery phase, specific focus will be on Ebola survivors, orphans and vulnerable children, affected families and communities. The target for the project remains the entire population of Liberia across all 15 counties, as everyone is potentially at risk of contracting Ebola.
Ebola crisis 2018 Ebola Outbreak.  The affected area is very remote with limited mobile telephone networks and difficult road conditions. The estimated distance from the epicentre to the capital of the Equateur province, Mbandaka, is 280km by road and can also be accessed via an airstrip that is 8km away from Bikoro, and the distance between the airstrip and Ikoko Impenge is approximately 30 km. This area of DRC has not suffered previous documented EVD outbreaks before the current outbreak. The outbreak is currently affecting the Equateur province with a population of approximately 2.5 million. 3 Health Zones of Bikoro, Iboko and Wangata in Equateur province have reported suspected cases. Wangata Health Zone, Mbandaka city, is an urban area with population over 1 million, and a transport hub of the River Congo. The spread of the disease to an urban area, with limited safe treatment and isolation facilities, brings additional risks.
