Zambia - Cholera Outbreak Contribute to the reduction of mortality and morbidity linked to cholera disease outbreak within the affected communities of Lusaka province, through the provision of health services, clean and safe water supply, sanitation and hygiene activities. The Zambian government declared the current cholera outbreak on 6th October 2017 after laboratory confirmation of two initial cases that presented to Chipata Level One Hospital on 4th October 2017. This year the outbreak happened just before the rainy season which is unusual, but it followed a period of inadequate water supply during the summer period. With inadequate water supply more people resorted to the use of unsafe water supplies. This was likely a direct cause of the recent outbreak. The outbreak has since spread to other parts of Lusaka namely; Garden Chilulu, Kabanana, Ngombe, Chipata, Kanyama, Chibolya, Bauleni, Matero, Mazyopa, John Laing, Makeni villa, Chazanga, Jack, Mandevu, Kuomboka, Zingalume, Twikatane, Chunga, and Zanimuwone with Chipata being the most affected. By 21st October 2017, 50% of the cases reported were children aged between 0 and 24 months.

Currently, new cases are being recorded on a daily basis in the affected areas and in view of the coming rainy season, this poses a threat as the situation might deteriorate as in the previous years. There is therefore a need for intensified efforts to control the spread of the disease to neighbouring locations and to reduce the incidences of occurrence in the affected areas. Bearing this in mind, the ZRCS is seeking support from the DREF to intensify public awareness activities and to support safer access to water to stop further contamination and spread of the disease.

Indonesia - Earthquake & Tsunami (revision appeal) October: Revised Emergency Appeal, incorporating the Sulawesi earthquake and tsunami, is issued, seeking CHF 22 million to enable PMI to deliver assistance to 40,000 households – 20,000 in Lombok and 20,000 in Central Sulawesi. According to the latest information from Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Authority (Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana – BNPB), over 800 people have been confirmed dead, mostly in Palu which is about 80km from the quake's epicentre. Most of the deaths reported occurred along the coastal areas, as a result of the tsunami. The number of casualties remains unknown since emergency responders are still digging through rubble and are yet to reach all affected populated areas, especially Donggala. Reports also indicate that thousands of homes and structures in commercial centres and public buildings have been damaged and, in some areas, flattened. There has been damage as well to infrastructure, including roads and bridges, with communication lines still paralyzed, further hampering access and rescue and relief efforts. Conditions at night are pitch darkness while operations at the main airport in Palu have been hampered by quake damages. Shelter,  Livelihoods and basic needs,  Health,  Water , sanitation and hygiëne. This operation aims to support the needs of up to 160,000 people (increased from 80,000 people) from the affected rural and urban communities in Lombok and Central Sulawesi with appropriate immediate, medium-term and recovery assistance in a timely, effective, and efficient manner, as well as accompany them to recover from the impact of the earthquakes and tsunamis and increase their resilience to future shocks.

Suppliers of underwear and sanitary pads have been located in Kampala and Nairobi. Branded chilanje is planned to be purchased locally in Malawi. From the 5th till the 10th of March 2019 Malawi experienced heavy rains accompanied by strong winds. The heavy rain resulted in extreme flooding and from that structural damage of houses and sanitation facilities across 14 districts in the Southern Region. NLRC will financially support the Danish Red Cross (lead organisation within this operation) to procure the dignity kits
2021 Afghanistan drought Contribution to the IFRC Drought Emergency Appeal MDRAF007 Hunger and malnutrition have spiked in Afghanistan amid the ongoing conflict and economic downturn, with food insecurity now on par with the 2018-2019 drought, leaving the country with the second-highest number of people in emergency food insecurity in the world1. This comes in the backdrop of over 40 years of conflict, recurrent natural disasters, increasing poverty, and COVID-19 which are also devastating the people of Afghanistan
During the second half of 2020, a moderate to strong La Niña phenomenon was registered that is causing extreme weather conditions in various parts of the world. This phenomenon, which affects temperatures, precipitation, and storm patterns, is expected to continue at least until spring 2021, according to the World Meteorological Organization. In Afghanistan, this commonly results in below-average rainfall and snowfall across the country. The timing of this La Niña event coincides with the main wheat season with harvests in May-July 2021, which are critical following the lean season (January-April). The Afghan Red Crescent Society (ARCS), with support from the IFRC’s Country Delegation for Afghanistan, is closely coordinating and consulting with the Government of Afghanistan, UN agencies, and other (inter)national humanitarian actors both at national and subnational levels. ARCS is a member of the Early Action Committee (EAC) established by the Government of Afghanistan to work on current drought issues. The EAC undertook an assessment and has produced a report specifying the provinces affected severely and those with medium impacts. ARCS and IFRC are also part of Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) and the Inter Cluster Coordination Team (ICCT). Following deteriorating humanitarian conditions because of the drought conditions, in mid-March 2021 ARCS launched an emergency operation, with funding support from the IFRC Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF). The DREF Operation aims to provide emergency food security assistance to 3,500 drought affected households in Badghis, Baghlan, and Faryab provinces – which are amongst drought hotspot provinces – utilizing unconditional cash as a modality. In addition, with financial assistance from various donors such as USAID, Red Cross Society of China, etc., ARCS has also been providing short-term emergency food security assistance (using CVA modalities) to multiple shocks affected households in four provinces including Faryab, Ghor, Sar-i-Pul, and Kandahar. 210,000 people Afghanistan

Early action funding for silent disasters The IFRC introduced Forecast-based Action by the Disaster Relief Emergency Fund in early 2018. The FbA will allow for funding of pre-agreed actions to a specific disaster to be automatically allocated based on scientific triggers. It is initially established as a separate financial pool ‘fenced’ from the current DREF, but financial contributions with a flexibility to support both mechanisms are being accepted. The FbA is expected to have a turnover of approx. CHF 1M in 2018 with a steady increase in the coming years. The IFRC introduced Forecast-based Action by the DREF in early 2018.

COVID-19 Khartoum II - Response & Capacity Strengthening The overall objective is to contribute to the prevention of COVID-19 and address the needs of the South Sudanese population and host community living in assembly points and host communities in Khartoum. Access to communal latrines and hand hygiene stations for South Sudanese refugees and host communities are available in public places, such as mosques and community centers. However, most of the sanitation facilities are damaged and not properly equipped with water or soap posing a great risk of COVID-19 transmission, among other diseases. Similarly, some schools in the area have infrastructural problems, including lack of water tanks, damaged water pipelines, inadequate or blocked latrines, shortage of cleaning staff or insufficient budget to purchase PPEs and cleaning supplies. 1. WASH-Health support to 9 Health facilities and population in the catchment areas.
2. Sustaining WASH services in selected vulnerable locations 
3. Strengthening adherence of prevention practices through engaging the community and establishing a behavior change strategy South Sudanese population living in assembly points and host communities - 15,000 people. This proposal will focus in three localities: Jabal Awlya, Sharq El Nile and Um Badda.

Nigeria - Election Preparedness Nigeria - Election Preparedness. It is anticipated based on the previous five elections (1999, 2003, 2007, 2011, and 2015) a total number of two million (2,000,000) people are likely to be affected from 26 states (out of 36) classified as medium to high risk, these are: Sokoto, Niger, Kwara, Imo, Akwa Ibom, Lagos, Katsina, Jigawa, Kogi, Osun, Oyo, Edo, Ekiti, Zamfara, Ogun, Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Kano, Benue, Rivers, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Plateau, Abia, and Bauchi. There are two main lessons learnt from the previous 2015 election: One lesson learnt is that more geographic divisions were impacted by election violence then were planned for (5 divisions). Consequently, the number of target divisions has increased by one. In addition, there were funding constraints to accommodate the additional divisions as NRCS was not aware that there is a possibility to receive a second allocation for the DREF. In the event there is a need to scale up, NRCS will request for a second allocation. According to the latest risk analysis, 2,000,000 are projected to be at-risk of violence. The NRCS caseload they can cover is 300,000 of these projected to be at-risk. The DREF operation is expected to support up to 300,000 people. Many of the affected people are likely to be those attending rallies during the campaign period and those participating in the voting process on the polling days. After the elections, if there is dissatisfaction among people with the outcome of the election results, violence may affect many people (including women, children, residents, security officers, electoral officers) and the affected will be provided with assistance by the NRCS volunteers and staff. The NRCS will target the most vulnerable populations, such as; women, children, disabled, and elderly (amongst others). Health, 300,000 - Particularly the most vulnerable groups; women, children, disabled, and elderly (amongst others). 15 states which include Sokoto, Niger, Kwara, Imo, Akwa, Ibom, Lagos, Katsina, Jigawa, Kogi, Osun, Oyo, Edo, Ekiti, Zamfara, and Ogun
Uganda - Population Movement from South Sudan 2016 The funds will support the IFRC Emergency Appeal operation in the West Nile region of Uganda (MDRUG038). The conflict in South Sudan, which began in December 2013, has affected every single household in the country. Renewed conflict in July 2016, led to a new influx of refugees. In April 2017 a total 816,041 South Sudanese have sought refuge in Uganda. The influx shows little sign of abating. Refugee influx from South Sudan to Uganda WatSan The support aims to reach 20.000 persons with hygiene promotion and 500 households (1000 persons) with access to household latrines. Activities will be implemented in Imvepi settlement, which is receiving the new influx of South Sudanese refugees. Please see map below for geographical location.

Election Preparedness & Contingency plan Burundi 2015 The project aims to mitigate and limit the risks of (pre-) electional violence and to prepare for humanitarian assistence during and after the election. 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 preparation has a special focus on training volunteers, staff and partners on different areas of intervention in Emergency, such as simulation exercises, the arrangement of stocks, both at headquarters and regional level, etc. The project assisted 4,000 benificiaries, during 7 months. The project is a collaboration between Burundi Red Cross Society, Netherlands Red Cross, Beligian Red Cross (Francophone), Luxembourg Red Cross and Finnish Red Cros. The project took place in 8 different provinces in Burundi
Americas Population Movement This Regional Emergency Appeal seeks a total of 7.4 million Swiss francs to enable the IFRC to support National Societies on the scaling up of their response to the increasing population movement in the Americas, supporting initially Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Guyana, Panama, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago and Uruguay to deliver assistance to 200,000 people (including host communities) for 12 months, with a focus on the following areas: shelter, livelihoods and basic need, health, water and sanitation, protection, gender and inclusion (PGI) and migration. This appeal will increase its scope to other affected countries based on the evolution of the situation and new migratory routes, regional coordination and response and preparedness actions; it will also support the current country-level actions and the Movement operations that are not covered by IFRC programmatic funding (such as the Monarch programme). The aim of this appeal is to strengthen and scale-up operational support, coordination, communication, capacity development and preparedness for affected regional countries and to prepare for potential new population movement crises in other countries in the Americas.

Syria Complex Emergency (NPL) The Syrian Arab Red Crescent works to respond to the needs of the most vulnerable people affected by the Syrian crisis, including food and non-food aid, health, livelihoods and food security, and building capacity to more effectively respond to the needs of those affected by conflict. Often, Red Cross staff and volunteers operate in risky and life-threatening conditions. Since 2011, the unrest in Syrian has grown, with violence spreading throughout the country. It is estimated that 12.2 million people within Syria need humanitarian assistance, with more than half the pre-crisis population being displaced internally and or as refugees in neighbouring countries. Often, Syrians are displaced multiple times. Four out of five Syrians are living in poverty, and two-thirds live in extreme poverty. Every aspect of life is affected, and there are overloads in basic health care services and decreased access to food and water. The on-going crisis in Syria presents many challenges to those living in its borders, from food, to shelter, to health. 600,000 people have been reached with food distributions, and 175,000 people in 2015 (January-July) have received winterisation support, with 35,000 families receiving items to prepare them for the winter, such as blankets, mats, and mattresses. The Netherlands Red Cross contributes to efforts with food parcels, winterisation items, and hygiene kits. 106,000 people have accessed improved water. Those in need of medical care are supported by mobile health units and health points in clinics, the latter of which are critical for rural areas. During the first four months of 2015, the Syrian Arab Red Crescent facilities provided treatment and consultations to 187,000 people. This project assists those affected by the on-going crisis in Syria. This project operates throughout the country, having current activities in the following governorates: Quneitra, Rural Damascus: Homs, Al-Hasakeh, Idleb, Hama, and Tartous.
