DPR Korea: Drought and Food Insecurity DPRK is suffering from droughts that have occurred consecutively in recent years. In 2014, a dry spell that persisted for over 18 months caused drought, affecting agricultural production and access to water, and left 18 million public distribution system (PDS) dependents at risk of food insecurity, malnutrition and illness. In June 2017, the Government declared a national emergency following a dry spell that affected key food producing provinces in the south-west of the country. The 2017 dry spell stressed the early season crops and constrained planting and early growth of main season crops. The Government mobilized communities and resources to provide irrigation, to reduce any impact from the dry spell. In 2018, emergency response was declared due to unusual high temperature and drought. The response of the Government and Red Cross Society of DPRK was focused on preserving the crops from the heatwave and drought like weather conditions.

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 Livelihoods and Basic Needs, Health, WASH and PG&I. 57064 people (9510 households) Zambia
Chronic - Drought and Food Insecurity in Kayes, Mali This project has been designed build on the achievements and lessons learnt of the Climate Smart Livelihoods (CSL) project that recently finished in Kayes Region. The capacities created by this project at Branch level will be instrumental for the implementation of this action as well as networks and relations established at community level and with external partners and line authorities. Most urgent needs are first of all related to the decrease in food production that has resulted in significantly low access to food in the area which requires emergency food assistance, so farmers and rural people can survive and function normally at least this year despites these overall losses. Impact of chronic drought on decrease in food productivity, loss of livelihoods, deforestation, soil erosion and depletion of water sources. This project proposes to study different response options with cash based programming or food in-kind distributions, depending on the results from market assessment to be done during project implementation. To tackle mortality & morbidity associated to malnutrition and diseases in children under 5, this project proposes to combine the increase of access to food with increased access to water at community level by rehabilitating water points and setting up water management structures.

Turkiye and Syria Earthquake PRCS-Syria branch deployment to Syria On February 6th 2023, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake occurred in southern Turkey near the northern border of Syria. This quake was followed approximately nine hours later by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake located around 59 miles (95 kilometers) to the Southwest. The earthquake was the most devastating to hit earthquake-prone Turkey in more than 20 years and was as strong as the one in 1939, the most powerful recorded there.  Syria’s current complex humanitarian emergency is among the largest humanitarian crises in the world and the earthquake will only exacerbate the situation for the most vulnerable populations. In northwestern Syria, 4.1 million people already depend on humanitarian assistance, the majority of whom are women and children. However, getting aid to injured and affected people in the Syrian areas is likely to pose a major challenge, considering that Syria is not controlled by one authority. PRCS branch in Syria, and as agreed with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC), serves Palestinian Refugees in the Syria Refugee Camps. Since the first moments of the onset of the earthquake, PRCS initiated a disaster response operation on various levels: from health and medical interventions, to relief with food and non-food items, as well as mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services among others. In addition, PRCS is deploying teams from Palestine to support the effective and efficient ongoing operations of its teams in Syria, with experienced staff and volunteers in the fields of Emergency Medical Services, Disaster Management and Response and MHPSS. In light of the above, PRCS has launched a Call for Support, that is specified to the Response Operations of PRCS-Syria branch serving Palestinian Refugees in Syria. Palestinian refugees living in the affected areas Affected areas in Syria, including the refugee camps in Latakia, Aleppo and Hama
Burundi elections crisis: Complex Emergency Response (Bila) 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. In total, at least 50,000 families (250,000 people) will be assisted as a result of the Complex EA. The partners relevant to this operation, e.g. WFP, IOM, UNFPA, UNICEF, they provide financial support cost for their specific agreement with the BRCS. This project aims at reinfocement of BRCS and therefor applied to the whole of Burundi.
2020 IFRC MENA Operational Plan Support to the International Federation: preparedness for emergency response, information management and surge related activities
Dutch Surge Support facility for WASH in emergencies The Dutch Surge Support (DSS) sends Dutch water and sanitation experts to water-related disasters around the world to contribute to better international response and increased knowledge management in water-related disasters. A growing number of countries face severe water related issues caused by climate change, enveronmental degradation causing water stress, water scarcity and pollution. This has an impact on drinking water, food supplies, infrastucture and economic development, and on vulnerable ecosystems and the stability of societies. Safe drinking water is one of the most urgent needs in emergency situations and lack of clean water and sanitation leads to disease and child mortality and increase of the workload of vulnerability of women and girls in developing countries. Water scarcity is a potential source of conflict, while floods often cause serious damage and claim many victims. This project aims to create a Dutch facility for surge support related to water to support humanitian organisations working in water related emergency response by identification and secondment of specialist staff that can be deployed during humanitarian response to crisis. The facility will cover emergency water related fields when appropiate. Besides WASH and water management there will also be a particular focus on thos capacity gaps identified within the United Nations clusters, such as expertise in urban WASH, (complex) sanitation or hydrogeology. The DSS is an initiative started by the Dutch government, the Netherlands Red Cross, and the Dutch water sector. The facility shall draw upon expertise available in the Netherlands. It will also contribute to raise interest among Netherlands water sector partners. Experts will be deployed aroud the world in emergency situations.
Partners for Resilience: Philippines The Strategic Partnership of Partners for Resilience (PfR) is aimed at promoting and improving (attention for) Integrated Risk Management (IRM) in policies, investments and practices of key stakeholders. The ultimate aim is to improve resilience of vulnerable communities who are confronted with disaster risks though better laws and regulations, IRM-proof investments (including screening), and enhanced practices that take better account of their potential to reduce risks. This project focuses on improving resilience in Philippine communities. People world-wide live in disaster-prone areas. Disasters damage the eco-systems they live in and upon which their livelihoods depend. Their vulnerability to disasters is aggrevated by climate change, which increases the frequency, scale and inpredictability of disasters. Eco-systems, if protected and managed well, can play an important role in mitigating the impact of disasters (holding more excess water, sheltering form storms). Partners for Resilience strengthens community resilience by working with civil society organisations on reducing risks and strengthening livelihoods of vulnerable communities, with specific attention for marginalized groups and women. The Integrated Risk Management (IRM) approach bridges time- and spatial scales. It integrates the urgent attention needed for changing risks due to changes in hazards, exposure and vulnerability. IRM includes a specific focus on ecosystem degradation, locally and in the wider landscape, as well as changes in hazards due to climate change (in relation to current risks, nearterm changes and longer-term shifts in climate patterns). IRM thus integrates elements from disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate change adaptation (CCA) and ecosystem management and restoration (EMR). Actions relate to different actors. Four groups are distinguished: Communities, Civil Society organisations (Red Cross, plus PfR partners, other CSOs, organised communities), Government (at various levels), and the private sector. Beneficiaries of the programme are vulnerable communities in disaster-prone conditions. This project focuses on vulnerable communities in the Philippines.

Sustainable water supply: Ridge to Coast, Rain to Tap This project is to provide a sustainable water supply to flood resettlement areas and vulnerable communities by increasing the resilience of the river catchment, water distribution network and the communities themselves to heavy rainfall, flooding and power outage events. This greater resilience will have a major impact on achieving the long-term objectives and purposes of the FDW programme, including:  Poverty alleviation and improved well-being/health; via reduced flood victims, provision of safe water and WASH practices to 40,000 vulnerable people, continuous city water supply during disasters and reduction in water borne / poor sanitation diseases  Enhanced self-reliance; via capacity building of COWD to improve operational and financial sustainability, future proofing the water distribution system, training and equipping vulnerable communities on disaster response, and enabling gender transformation  Continuing economic growth; via 24/7 supply of safe and reliable water to CDO city with reduced flood disruption to businesses, generating sustainable employment to IPs, and increased income generation of CDO population due to reduction of water-borne disease
Addressing Vulnerabilities of Refugees and Host Communities Affected by the Syria Crisis (LRCS), Lebanon This project will provide a coherent and coordinated response to the crisis following the Syria conflict. The Madad-funded initiative is implemented in multiple contexts with various institutional challenges and varying needs of vulnerable persons from Syria as well as in the host communities, as is also evident in the Response Plans of Lebanon and Jordan and the 3RP country chapters of Turkey, Egypt and Iraq. This project covers assistence to the Libanese Red Cross Society. This project consists of a range of plans in different countries around Syria. All these countries have a strong presence of national RCRC societies. For this reason a consortium is formed to act more effective and flexible in the region. The action will provide economic opportunities to refugees and community people in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Turkey. Communities will have improved knowledge and health as they are able to manage the health risks facing them and have access to a sustainable sanitation system. Because of the protracted nature of the crisis considered, the long-term duration need to be supported which is best be done in a sustainable manner through national and community based organizations with a strong presence in the targeted areas. In case of improved health and psychosocial well-being, targeted populations consists of women, men, girls and boys of Syrian refugees and of host community. Capacity building is directed towards Host National Society. The project takes place in Lebanon (country wide)
