Migration crisis - Greece This project supports Hellenic Red Cross Society to cover the immediate needs of the 10,000 migrants arriving in the Greece islands and are met in addition to providing complementary services inside and outside the registration/reception premises through the provision of basic food and non-food items, search and rescue services, medical and psychosocial support as well as a Restoring Family Links (RFL) service. In 2015, Greece continued to experience a huge increase of migrant arrivals in its territory primarily on its sea borders with Turkey. Authorities are reporting at least a three-fold increase in arrivals in Greece this year compared to the same period in 2014, which means that since 1 January 2015 more than 36,000 migrants have been registered by Greek authorities in the territory of Greece. The project focus on search and rescue operations, first aid and medical assistance, food distribution, basic shelter needs, psychosocial support (PSS) and awareness raising and promotion materials. Both migrants/asylum seekers inside and outside the registration/reception premises will be targeted during this operation. Within the framework of this operation, the target groups will be prioritized to receive assistance. Target groups are people rescued from the sea in need of urgent assistance and medical care, women and children, people in need of basic survival essentials (food, water, hygiene) and people in need of psychosocial support (PSS). As the Greek-Turkish land border has become more difficult to access for migrants, the frontline for the increase in migration has been primarily on the sea borders between the two countries in 2015. This involves the North Aegean and Dodecanese Islands. Focus will be on the islands of Chios, Lesvos, Samos, Rhodes, Kos and Crete.

Food insecurity in Zimbabwe This Emergency Appeal supports the Zimbabwe Red Cross Society (ZRCS) to reach 10,830 people with a focus on interventions on the sectors of water, health hygiene promotion, food security, nutrition, and livelihoods (carried out through cash distributions). A slow onset of the rainy season was followed by severe flooding that destroyed crops in 2015. This situation was followed, and exacerbated, by a long dry spell, resulting in a crop yield below the 5 year average. Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZIMVAC) report estimated 16% of Zimbabwe’s rural population are food insecure and 1,490,024 people will be in need of food assistance at the peak of the hunger period. Coping mechanisms are severely strained, and social safety-net interventions by the Government and partners are limited. The ZIMVAC report highlights the need to scale-up nutrition-specific interventions to promote crop production. Malnutrition remains a challenge especially in children under five. The challenge of food insecurity is exacerbated by the continued poor storage of crops, and hence there is a continued need for promotion of improved food storage. While the immediate needs of these households is food assistance, ZRCS proposes that any food assistance provided should be complemented by livelihoods recovery interventions such as seed support, training in climate-smart agriculture practices, and water and sanitation activities. Beneficiary selection will be informed by a community based selection approach which will be participatory in nature and community-led. ZRCS will ensure that the selection of beneficiaries will be consistent with IFRC’s commitment to strive for gender equality and diversity, and to ensure non-discrimination in provision of services to the most vulnerable. The Ministries of Social Services and Agriculture, supported by District Civil Protection Units and drought relief committees will be involved in informing the development of the selection criteria. The ZRCS selection criteria will emphasize the needs of vulnerable groups (women headedhouseholds, pregnant and lactating women, the disabled, the elderly and orphans or vulnerable children). The ZRCS will target two of the affected districts, Mudzi and Muzarabani.

Nepal - Monsoon Floods and Landslides 2017 IFRC appeal Nepal Floods and Landslides to meet the immediate humanitarian and early recovery needs of a total of 16,200 families (81,000 people) affected by floods and landslides in 31 districts of Nepal. Several districts of Nepal have experienced an increase of monsoon precipitations since the last weeks of July. The torrential rains continued between 11 and 14 August 2017 causing massive floods and several landslides. These are the worst rains Nepal has experienced in last 15 years – for many areas such as Biratnagar and Monrang this flooding is unusual. Provision of early emergency shelter assistance (tarpaulins, ropes, blankets) to 7,000 displaced families living in community centres/schools or with their relatives across 31 districts will be provided. Whereas, NFRIs full sets, shelter repair assistance, WASH, emergency health, livelihood and progressive shelter support as a part of early recovery assistance will be provided to 9,200 families – of which 8,000 families, whose houses have been destroyed will receive NFRIs and 1,200 families whose houses have been partially damaged will receive support to repair – in 11 worst affected districts. The targeted population is primarily those displaced by, and secondarily those affected by, floods and landslides according to the beneficiary selection criteria outlined above. The districts are; Lalitpur, Palpa, Jhapa, Morang, Sunsari, Saptari, Baridya, Dang, Banke, Siraha, Sarlai, Bara, Sindhuli, Panchhthar, Rasuwa, Rupendehi, Baglung, Nawalparasi, Kailali, Kalikot, Doti, Dhading, Ramechhap, Syangia, Parbat, Pyuthan, Kaski, Terathum, Dolakha, Surkhet and Rautahat.
Covid-19 response in Benin The overall objective of this operation is to contribute to the prevention and reduction of the immediate risks associated with the spread of COVID-19 in Benin by mobilizing the Benin Red Cross volunteer network. Benin recorded its first case of COVID-19 on March 16, 2020 in Cotonou. Since then, despite the state’s measures to halt the spread of the pandemic, new confirmed cases have been recorded. The vast majority of cases are concentrated in the southern and most populous part of the country. The government is aware of the gravity of this pandemic and of the importance of the WHO directives concerning containment and mass screening. However, the government lacks the means to implement all the WHO recommendations and relies on the responsibility of the populations to respect and abide by the government measures. Yet, despite awareness campaigns carried out by the government, compliance with the measures remains problematic because of language barriers, the lack of access to conventional media (TV and radio) and social networks. In addition, understanding and abiding to the measures is often very challenging for a population reliant on the informal sector to ensure their livelihoods.

Many challenges lie ahead in terms of epidemiological surveillance of the virus within the communities; stigma, non-compliance with the government measures, fear of the population, rumors, and disinformation. Gender may impact the way in which health messaging can be distributed and be taken up. This needs to be addressed with dissemination of health information of the authorities to the population and psychosocial support to the first responders, volunteers, and vulnerable groups. Communication at the community level must be reinforced, as well as community-based surveillance. And because of the existing teams for contact monitoring and psychosocial support of the Benin Red Cross, the government requested specific expertise in these areas. The project is aimed at achieving the following results: 

Result area 1: Community based surveillance systems vis-à-vis COVID-19 are strengthened by the Benin Red Cross
1) The population adopts preventive hygiene practices to control the rate of covid-19 infections and rumors are minimized
2) The community-based monitoring of the local health system is reinforced by volunteers of the Benin Red Cross

Result area 2: Benin Red Cross provides relevant response activities for those affected by COVID-19 
1) Contaminated spaces identified are effectively disinfected
2) Benin Red Cross assists with safe burial practices 
3) Benin Red Cross is ready to provide psychosocial support to people infected and affected by COVID-19 

Result area 3: Reinforcement of the intervention capacity of Benin Red Cross in prevention and response to COVID-19
1) Appropriate measures are taken to protect staff and volunteers 
2) Benin Red Cross has adequate human and material resources for operations management
3) The response is continuously monitored and evaluated Benin Red Cross and Netherlands Red Cross Benin
RP 2022-2026: CAR It is necessary for the Croix-Rouge centrafricaine (CRCA) to conduct a self-assessment based on the Preparedness for Effective Response (PER) methodology (in French: "Préparation pour une Intervention Efficace (PIE)". The PIE is a cyclical approach allowing the Société Nationale (SN) to systematically evaluate, measure and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of its intervention system in order to take corrective measures. It is this PIE process that will be the heart of the conception phase of the RP 3 project, followed by an implementation phase. There is a need to reform National Disaster Response Teams and Community Disaster Response Teams while readapting the training approach with more in (on-site) actions and enhanced monitoring from headquarters to branches through regular visits and supervision during their activities in the field. The PER approach which will be put in place during the conception phase, which consists of assessing the full capacities of the National Society to prepare and respond to disasters, identifying the priority areas of focus to be strengthened and establishing a plan of action with detailed activities. To achieve this, the work will be organised in 5 phases: the orientation phase (already done under RPII but a new one is needed to refresh minds and rebuild a momentum), the assessment phase, the prioritization and analysis phase, the work plan phase and the action and accountability phase. The project to be implemented with this funding will mainly be designed as a contribution to the PER workplan. Therefore, the PER process will enable the CRCA to determine the focus of this project, once the PER 3rd and 4th phases are completed. The priorities that came out of the PER approach are: Rôle auxiliaire, mandat et législation de la CR; Qualité et responsabilité; Procédures d'intervention d'urgence (SOPs); Premiers secours; Santé à base communautaire; Evaluation des besoins d'urgence. In addition, and to ensure that the CRCA has minimum capacities for the coming rainy seasons, some basic floods preparedness activities will be carried out as early as possible. 

Lastly, this project will also be an opportunity to contribute to developing the capacities of the CRCA to implement cash-based programming. To ensure that enough time is allocated to this effort, cash-based programming strengthening activities will start as soon as possible, potentially in collaboration with the IFRC.

Lebanese Red Cross' response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Lebanon Response of the Lebanese Red Cross to the COVID-19 pandemic 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a virus identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China. Early on, many of the patients in the outbreak in Wuhan, China reportedly had some link to a large seafood and animal market, suggesting animal-to-person spread. However, a growing number of patients reportedly have not had exposure to animal markets, indicating person-to-person spread is occurring. At this time, it’s unclear how easily or sustainably this virus is spreading between people. Following the outbreak of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak as a global emergency on January 31, 2020, national and international efforts has been made to ensure proper preparedness and response. Strategic Objectives:  1. Support in risk communication, community engagement and public awareness;  2. Support in case detection and identification at level dispatch; 3. Ensure safe and efficient transportation of suspected  and confirmed cases; 4. Maintain provision of LRCS services to beneficiaries in a safe and effective manner while ensuring the safety of LRCS staff and volunteers Lebanese Red Cross and Netherlands Red Cross Lebanon
