Drought campaign May 2016 Malawi A minimum of 6.5 million people will not be able to meet their annual food requirements during the 2016/17 consumption period (from July 2016 to March 2017). The food shortage is largely a result of the El Nino climatic episode experienced across the country during the 2015/16 agricultural reason. The government have developed a food Insecurity Response Plan through the humanitarian cluster. The plan identifies food security, nutrition, agriculture, health, education and WASH. The Project seeks to ensure that disaster (dry spells) affected population’s food and nutrition needs will be met through a cash Transfer programme.
Refugee crisis 2015: support to refugees in Slovenia This project seeks to address the immediate nutrition and hygiene needs of 10,000 migrants at 12 registration/ accommodation centres, with a special focus on the hygienic needs of women and infants in addition to providing protection activities, including restoring family links services, and provision of psychosocial first aid. Migration routes in Europe are rapidly changing, particularly those in Central Europe, home to Slovenia. Slovenia has become another transit country for migrants seeking other Western and Northern European destinations, with late-2015 marking increasing numbers of migrants entering Slovenia through the border it shares with Croatia. Between 18 and 22 September 2015, the Ministry of Interior of Republic of Slovenia registered 3,300 migrants, and they predict that these numbers will only grow in the coming months. To accomplish the overall objective, the Slovenian Red Cross is aiming at building contingency relief item stocks in its warehouses to be able to support the needs of the expected arrivals of migrants. Red Cross staff and volunteers will focus on the improved access to sanitation with hygiene kits and hygiene promotion for men, women and children, taking into consideration the size of the family. Food is also distributed, and families are reunited through mobile communications units with Wi-Fi and cell-phone charging bays and distributions of posters and leaflets in reception areas. This project seeks to address the immediate nutrition and hygiene needs of 10,000 individuals (6,000 adult males, 3,000 adult females, 1,000 children) at 12 registration/accommodation centres, with a special focus on the hygienic needs of women and infants. This project takes place at 12 registration/accommodation centres spread across the following locations: Dolga and Lendava, near the Hungarian border, Gornja Radgona, Lenart, Gruskovjc, Brezice, Rigonce, and Obrezje, near the Croatian border, Slovenj Gradec, Celje, Ljubljana, Vrhinka, Logatec, Postonja, and Maribor.
Kenya - Drought To meet immediate urgent needs of 114,620 drought-affected persons in five priority counties namely; Garissa, Tana River, Kwale, Kilifi, and Makueni counties, by improving their health, WASH, nutrition and food security conditions. March – May 2016: During the seasonal rains, heavy flooding of River Tana washes away crops and delays planting amongst the communities living along the river in Garissa and Tana River, resulting in reduced household level food security and dietary intake. During the same period, parts of arid and semi-arid (ASAL) counties starts experiencing some level of drought stress due to poor performance of the long rainy season. 
June 2016: The Government early warning system starts signalling drought stress in some counties of the coastal region.  
September 2016: The early warning information indicates most drought affected counties as Kilifi, Kwale, Tana River and Taita Taveta. Other affected counties are Wajir, Mandera, Marsabit, Makueni, Kitui and Samburu. The drought and food security situation in these counties ranges from moderate to severe 1.

Building disaster response capacity in Malawi Enhancing resilience of vulnerable communities and building institutional disaster response capacity in Phalombe, Thyolo, Chikwawa and Nsanje (Malawi). Selected group village heads (GVHs) have very low capacity to cope with natural threats and epidemics and withstand shocks. Data collected during the field assessment shows that the level of awareness on general DRR issues among the target population is very deficient. Through this action communities will be aware of the self-protection measures that they can undertake to protect their assets and resources in time of emergency. Safer houses, protection of assets and resources, protection of water systems and other risk reduction measures will be taken. Authorities will gain greater awareness on DRR, building their contingency plans and linking up to organization like RC. Contribute strongly to the National Disaster Risk Management Policy of the Malawi Gov is central to this intervention. 37 GVHs in Malawi have become aware of their vulnerabilities and capacities and increased their ability to organise effective disaster response. Early Warning / Early Action capacity is strengthened and institutionalised in 28 GVH located along the most flooding rivers in Phalombe, Thyolo, Chikwawa, Nsanje and along lake Chilwa. 37 GVHs in Malawi have adopted resilient livelihood strategies. Institutional capacity on Disaster Risk Management in the 4 target district is established and coordination amongst stakeholders has improved. The project will take place in group village heads of Phalombe, Thyolo, Chikwawa and Nsanje (Malawi)

•	IM position: EUR 32.000 
We can confirm that out of the pledge EUR 32.000 will be utilized for the IM position. 
We have however been in intensive discussion with our colleagues in ROE and Geneva regarding the IM work and how to ensure continuity and sustainability.
We have taken into consideration (1) previous experience and related challenges in terms of ensuring funding for IM (including the cost for position and activities), (2) practice in other regions and (3) potential opportunity for the regional IM colleague to support global initiatives as well (specifically mobile data collection work) and concluded that, in order to ensure sustainability of the ongoing work and have longer term commitment to the IM file,  we should try and  switch from delegate position to locally recruited one. We believe that this solution of having a local staff member contributing not only to the regional strategy but also to global priorities, would be more sustainable and cost-efficient.
In light of this we would like to propose to use the EUR 32,000 to cover a 2-month extension of Federica’s contract (CHF 21,000 = EUR 18,500) and in the meantime with Federica’s support to recruit and train a local IM colleague, and use the remaining funds to cover partly his/her activities and salary costs for four initial months.

South Sudan operation 2017 The ICRC continues to implement a cross-cutting response that combines emergency activities with efforts to help people strengthen their resilience to the effects of violence. Having managed to expand its presence in the field in 2016, the ICRC is seeking to increase its proximity to vulnerable people. Years of devastating violence has crippled South Sudan’s structures and basic services, undermining its people’s capacities to provide for themselves. There are an estimated 2 million internally displaced people, and over a million more who have been forced to seek refuge in neighbouring countries. Earlier this year, the level of food insecurity was alarming, and many people were at significant risk of malnutrition and disease – one in three households was reportedly in urgent need of food. However, security and logistical constraints hamper humanitarian agencies’ ability to assist vulnerable communities, especially in remote rural areas. It uses aircrafts to transport staff and supplies, while also attempting to increase aid delivery by land, when security allows, so as to reach as many people as possible in remote and difficult-to-access areas. The South Sudan Red Cross, as the ICRC’s main partner, receives support for capacity development. This project supports those affected by violence. This project takes place in South Sudan.

IFRC EA Ukraine and impacted countries Response to the Ukraine confict in Ukraine and impacted countries Population movement and armed conflict This Emergency Appeal aims to increase the reach of the Red Cross National Societies to scale up assistance to 3.6 million people in the immediate term and in their transition to long-term recovery. This will be achieved by supporting people within Ukraine and providing assistance and care to displaced people and host communities in all affected locations. The priorities of immediate and mid-term response identified are assistance through cash-related interventions, emergency shelter and health. The operation will ensure that National Societies, with strong focus at strengthening at branch level, are able to adequately address these needs and be ready to respond to future shocks in a rapidly changing context. The dignity, access, participation and safety of vulnerable people is paramount and will be central to the operation. 
Sectors: multi-purpose cash; shelter; health; national society capacity strengthening; livelihoods; PGI; migration; CEA; WASH; 3.6 million people (IFRC Emergency Appeal MGR65002). Three categories:
1. People in Ukraine
2. People on both sides of the borders, attempting to cross to safety
3. People in neighboring countries and beyond Ukraine and neigboring countries
HIV prevention and support of vulnerable groups in South Sudan The overall goal of the project is to contribute to the government’s efforts in improving the health status of target communities and reduce the impact of HIV by 2015. The project aims to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality of children under the age of five and of women in childbearing age, as well as in vulnerable communities, and to confine the prevalence of HIV to less than 5% and mitigate its impact in the target areas. Another objective of the project is to enhance the operational development in HIV/AIDS interventions for the branch. The AIDS epidemic is a major challenge for South Sudan with an HIV prevalence of 3,04%. However, unawareness of HIV status, increased repatriation from countries with higher HIV prevalence, as well as cultural norms and institutionalised powerlessness among women and girls, are factors that are likely to contribute to a rising prevalence of HIV in coming years. Furthermore, there are unaddressed stigma and discrimination issues regarding HIV, as well as an increasing population of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). The project objectives will be met by enhancing good hygiene and advocating behavioural change, increasing school attendance for orphans and vulnerable children, community sensitisation and mobilisation to create HIV/AIDS awareness and reduce stigma for people living with HIV, advocacy for HIV/AIDS preventive methods, condom promotion and distribution, increasing knowledge about and - accessibility to - treatment, providing peer education, and training volunteers, providing workshop materials, nutritional support, training materials. The HIV AIDS programme in South Sudan targets 171 000 of the most vulnerable persons. The project aims to improve the health status of 83 391 men and 88 127 women, and to reach 230 vulnerable children annually. 16 000 young people are targeted for HIV awareness raising. Peer education reaches 26 000 people. The South Sudan Red Cross Society (SSRCS) will continue in collaboration with the Netherlands Red Cross (NLRC) and the IFRC. Target Areas: South Sudan, Central Equatoria State, Juba, Lainya & Terakeka Counties. South Sudan is one of the poorest countries with one of the worst health situations in the world.

PRCS Emergency Appeal supporting Humanitarian and Emergency Medical Services Contribution to the PRCS Emergency Appeal which is supporting Humanitarian and Emergency Medical Services oPt The major drivers of humanitarian vulnerability in the oPt are the protracted occupation (now in place for more than 50 years), and the continuing conflict, punctuated by frequent outbreaks of violence. In the West Bank settler violence continues as does demolition of Palestinian property, despite the pandemic, and those living in Area C are particularly vulnerable to settler attacks, destruction of their homes and assets and displacement. The blockade of the Gaza Strip has had a significant impact on peoples’ freedom of movement, access to health care, water and sanitation and other basic needs. Tensions in East Jerusalem have been escalating in recent weeks (since the start of Ramadan on 13th April), after the Israeli authorities installed metal barriers outside the Damascus Gate, blocking access to a public area for Palestinians. Although a relative calm was restored with the removal of the obstacles on 25 April, tensions were further heightened by the Israeli authorities’ imminent eviction of four extended Palestinian former refugee families from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem. Since 28 April, Palestinians have been holding daily protests in Sheikh Jarrah area in solidarity with the families at risk of eviction, triggering confrontations with Israeli settlers and Israeli security forces. Confrontations which were initially centered on Sheikh Jarrah and the Old City have spread to other parts of the city and in recent days to mixed communities in Israel. Confrontations have worsened substantially since 7 May, and on 11 May there was a “day of rage” with
protests across West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as well as some in Palestinian communities in Israel. The goal of this Project is: (1) Enhanced readiness and response capacity of emergency medical services in Gaza, including hospital capacity, (2) EMS and field hospital operation in East Jerusalem (3) Response readiness for the rest of the West Bank. Community members in Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem oPt
PRCS/L Health in Crisis This project supports PRCS/L in treating the patients that are not covered by UNRWA against low fees or for free. PRCS/L patients and contractors of beds (mainly UNRWA) are not able to pay fees that cover the full costs of treatment.
At the same time, PRCS/L is working on improving the quality of services provided to the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon (PRL), Palestinian refugees from Syria (PRS), Syrians, as well as Lebanese and other nationalities. The Palestinian refugees in Lebanon are facing a difficult situation. According to a survey carried out in 2015 by the American University of Beirut, 67% of the Palestinians in Lebanon is living in poverty, 7% in extreme poverty. Palestinians in Lebanon suffer from harsh living conditions, face social exclusion, lack many social and civil rights and are excluded from many social and civil rights. The situation of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon is increasingly difficult to improve without major changes taking place at the political level, either locally in Lebanon or internationally. Access to health care is insufficient. UNRWA has the mandate for health care for Palestinians in Lebanon but is not able to cover all treatments and all groups of Palestinian refugees. The Palestine Red Crescent Society- Lebanon Branch (PRCS/L) is a main provider of secondary health care services for Palestinians in Lebanon and is contracted by UNRWA for secondary health care. PRCS/L is able to deliver quality health services for low fees and can therefore release the financial constraints of the refugees and complement UNRWA’s activities. PRCS/L assists refugees who have no means of paying and/or who are not supported by other agencies, such as UNRWA. The medical services offered by PRCS/L are of adequate quality, as has been shown by several studies. PRCS/L staff originates from the same communities as most of its patients and thus has a good understanding of the needs of this vulnerable group living in a very specific context. PRCS/L hospitals are located in or near the biggest Palestinian camps and thus are easily accessible for the local community. PRCS/L is, as the Nahr el Bared conflict has shown, the only major provider of health care services that is able to continue providing crucial and life-saving medical care to the refugees in times of conflict. PRCS/L continuously works on improving its infrastructure and capacities in order to give vulnerable Palestinian refugees the best care possible. Procurement of medical supplies, training of hospital staff, as well as installing a nursing call system and fire alarm system.

Colombia - dengue outbreak As part of the current dengue outbreak in the Americas, Colombia
has reported 84,664 cases of dengue and 919 cases of severe
dengue. As of Epidemiological Week (EW) 35
2
(25 to 31 August
2019), the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) indicated that
Colombia has the second highest incidence in this new cycle of the
epidemic. The cases have been centred in the departments of Meta,
Tolima, Huila, Santander, Norte de Santander, Casanare, Cesar and
Antioquia, which represent 66.2% of cases nationwide. This outbreak
has caused 169 deaths in 2019 according to Colombia’s National
Institute of Health’s EW 35 Epidemiological Report. At the national
level, from EW 8 of 2019 onwards, the epidemic curve is above the
upper limit for expected cases compared to what has been historically
observed (2011 to 2018), placing the country in a new epidemic cycle.
In terms of the epidemic profile 4.4% are male; 25.6% with severe
dengue are children under five years of age; and 1.3% are Indigenous
and 1.5% are Afro-Colombians. Dengue is endemic in Colombia transmission commonly occurring in
778 municipalities, a historical circulation of the four serotypes of the virus and epidemiological peaks every three years
(2010-2013-2016). In response to the increase in cases from EW 42 in 2018 to EW 35 in 2019, reported as of the 31
August, Colombia is in a state of alert with higher than expected cases in the departments of Meta (Villavicencio), Huila

Democratic Republic of Congo - Emergency Response in Kwilu, Central Kongo and Kwango provinces This project supports the populations of targeted provinces to anticipate, cope and reduce the impact of the disasters they suffer, especially Population movements, natural disasters, epidemics, assess to water, sanitation and health services. Specific objective: Contribute to the fight and response to disasters and epidemics in the provinces of Kongo Central, Kwango and Kwilu. This specific objective is articulated around 3 axes of intervention. The first axis aims to meet the curative health needs of populations. Indeed, as explained above, the resources of the health centres from areas concerned by population movements have been strongly solicited for more than one year. Today, these resources, particularly in medicine, are reaching their limit and these health centres fall short in providing basic services not only to local populations but also to arriving populations. In the provinces of Kongo Central and Kwango, health facilities are very precarious too, especially in terms of access to water and sanitation.
The second axis will be to respond to the needs of those affected and displaced in Kwango and/or Kwilu province (depending on how the situation evolves, the response may be redirected to another neighbouring province). This axis will also make it possible to reinforce DRCRC's capacities, particularly in cash transfer.
Finally, the third axis will focus on the prevention of epidemics, and in particular water-borne epidemics, in Kongo Central and Kwango. The most vulnerable communities and displaced people in the target regions. In Kwilu Province, Bulungu/Kikwit, Idiofa and Gungu territories
