Strengthening IFRC Disaster and Crisis Management (HEOps) This contribution to Heads of Emergency Operations (HEOps) of IFRC increases the share of consistent and reliable Red Cross Red Crescent action in support of communities affected by disasters and crises. The IFRC is in need for high level strategic leadership, particularly for large esponse operations. The rationale for the creation of the HEOps pool and roster has been supported by the findings and recommendations of operational reviews and evaluations. The increasing frequency and complexity of major disasters require more sophisticated strategic leadership and coordination roles and the need for greater predictability and continuity in providing quality operational leadership support to National Societies affected. This project reinforces the IFRC Secretariat’s capacity in operational leadership through the deployment of qualified and experienced emergency responders at the onset of crises in the field; capacity building of the National Societies Zones leadership response capacities; coordination; training support, planning, monitoring and evaluation in relation to disaster and crisis management. The HEOps project was developed by the Geneva IFRC Surge Senior Officers and British, Canadian and American Red Cross representatives. The HEOps program operates globally

Refugee crisis 2015: support to refugees in Hungary The Hungarian Red Cross aims at protecting migrants at entry points and their journeys throughout the country. The project focuses on: the distribution of bottled water and basic non-food items, prepositioning of food and non-food relief items, health care, including first aid, screening, psychosocial support, hygiene promotion, restoring family links, and building the Hungarian Red Cross' capacity. Europe has seen a marked rise in migration in 2015, and Hungary is seen as a transit country for travelling to other European Union countries. The number of migrants registered in Hungary has risen over 2015, with 5,809 being the most recorded on a single day on 13 September. As of mid-September 2015, more than 196,300 persons have been registered, with 170,076 asylum applications received as of 13 September 2015. The immediate needs of migrants, such as food, water, first aid, and basic health screening services, are supported upon arrival, and food and non-food items and distributed. Non-food items include blankets, raincoats, and hygiene kits. Since many become separated from their families, the Hungarian Red Cross commits resources to reuniting families. Migrants also often lack adequate information on rights and other basic information to make healthy decisions for the future, thus a critical component is also listening to their voices and understanding what their real needs and plans are. Psychosocial support is also given to migrants and Red Cross staff, and the Hungarian Red Cross' capacity to manage the heavy influxes of migrants is increased through increasing warehouse and fleet capabilities. The project focuses on those accommodated at reception and pre-registration centres, collection points, transit locations, and on the border between Serbia and Hungary. A priority is on assisting pregnant women and new-born babies, single parent households, and persons with acute or serious health conditions. This project expects to address the needs of up to 120,000 people. The project takes place in asylum facilities in Debrecen, Bicske, Vamossabad, and Kormend (temporary facility), alongside a pre-registration centre in Roszke and a border-crossing point at Szentgotthard.

Nigeria operation 2017 It seeks to protect and assist the people affected by emergencies throughout the country, paying particular attention to those caught up in the conflict in the northeast. Skirmishes and bombings in Nigeria’s north-eastern states (mainly Adamawa, Borno and Yobe) have had dire humanitarian consequences. Parts of the north-east have been secured, and people have attempted to return home; some communities with urgent, unmet needs have become accessible to humanitarian actors. However, security constraints still limit access to other areas, and most people remain displaced. Reportedly, there are over 2.3 million IDPs in Nigeria – mostly in host communities – and hundreds of thousands of Nigerian refugees in neighbouring countries. People affected by conflict/other violence will meet their urgent needs with the help of food  distributed by the National Society/ICRC, including in areas that are
challenging to reach. People affected by conflict/other violence, focus on remote/underserved communities and other vulnerable groups. Northeastern Nigeria, Middle Belt and southern Nigeria.

WWF Making Disaster Management sustainable This project aims to integrate NbS with common Climate Risk Management (CRM) approaches applied  by humanitarian- and conservation actors into a combined CRM framework that is aligned with the  cooperation agreement between WWF and the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red  Crescent (IFRC). The NLRC together with Zambia Red Cross Society and WWF NL alongside WWF Zambia, proposes to implement a 1.5 years ‘proof of concept’ project to contribute to the following programme-wide objective: Immediate and long-term climate resilience of communities and their natural environment, through a more sustainable relationship between people and nature Zambia is in clear need of longer-term climate adaptation measures to respond to disaster risk and to build greater climate resilience for vulnerable communities. Now is the opportune moment to explore systematically how the natural system can play a role in building this climate resilience in comparison to grey infrastructure methods which have often failed in the past. This can be the foundation for  ownership on collective decision making towards NbS and catalyze on 
the increased political will  around NbS in Zambia and across the globe. Catalysing this momentum by building a flagship  programme under the Red Cross and WWF partnership can show extreme value of not only this unique  collaboration, but by building a proof of concept that can demonstrate the value of NbS in Zambia and  beyond.
