DRC NRC IRC 2022-2027: Motståndskraft, Fred and Ekonomisk återhämtning DRC NRC IRC 2022-2027: Resilience, Peace and Economic Recovery Programme De tre internationella icke-statliga organisationerna arbetar tillsammans och med det civila samhällets organisationer i bräckliga och konfliktdrabbade länder för att främja varaktiga lösningar för fördrivningsdrabbade samhällen. De är organisationer med dubbla mandat som arbetar med både humanitära program och utvecklingsprogram i bräckliga och krisdrabbade miljöer. 

Projektet kommer att genomföras av konsortiet, som leds av Danish Refugee Council i samarbete med IRC, NRC samt lokala aktörer och tekniska nationella rådgivare. Danish Refugee Council är därför avtalspartner.

Det föreslagna 3RCs-programmet syftar till att mildra effekterna av och förebygga konflikter genom att stärka den flerdimensionella motståndskraften hos samhällen som står inför konflikter, fattigdom, miljöförstöring och klimatförändringar. Projektet har tre delmål:

1. Stärka motståndskraften mot konflikter, 
2. Stärka den ekonomiska motståndskraften och förbättra livsmedels- och näringstryggheten. 
3.Stärka resiliens mot klimatförändringar och förbättra förvaltningen av naturresurser.

För att uppnå dessa resultat kommer  Danish Refugee Council och partners att genomföra en trefaldig åtgärd som tar en koppling mellan humanitärt bistånd, utveckling och fredsbyggande (HDP) för att bygga upp individers och samhällens motståndskraft mot flerdimensionella chocker på kort, medellång och lång sikt genom en integrerad och sektorsövergripande strategi som 1) tillgodoser befolkningarnas grundläggande behov för att minska konfliktens effekter,  2) förebygger framtida konflikter kopplade till naturresursförvaltning och 3) främjar en hållbar utveckling som respekterar miljön och är motståndskraftig mot klimatförändringar. The 3RC’s programme will be implemented by a consortium, led by DRC, who will also be the agreement partner. DRC, NRC, and IRC are all three international non-governmental organisations working together and with civil society organisations to promote lasting solutions for displacement affected communities. They are double-mandated organisations, working with both lifesaving and longer-term development programmes, particularly in fragile and crises affected settings. Since 2022, all three organisations are global humanitarian partners to Sida. They are also supported from development strategies, such as the global peace and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo strategies.

The 3RC's programme aims at mitigating the effects of and preventing conflicts by strengthening the multidimensional resilience of communities facing conflict, poverty, environmental degradation, and climate change.

The project has three sub-goals:

1. Strengthen communities’ resilience to conflict.

2. Strengthen economic resilience and improve food and nutrition security, including for internally displaced people.

3. Strengthen resilience to climate change and improve management of natural resources. The main objective of the 3RCs programme is to mitigate the effects of and prevent conflicts by strengthening the multidimensional resilience of communities facing conflict, poverty, environmental degradation & climate change.

The programme has the following three main components and results areas contributing to the overall objective:

Result 1: Strengthen communities resilience to conflict.

Result 2:  Strengthen economic resilience and improve food and nutrition security, including for internally displaced people, and

Result 3: Strengthen resilience to climate change and improve management of natural resources.

To achieve these results, DRC and partners, will implement a triple-action that takes a HDP nexus approach to build resilience of individuals and communities to multidimensional shocks in the short, medium and long-term through an integrated and multisectoral approach that 1) meets the basic needs of populations in order to reduce the impact of conflict, 2) prevents future conflicts linked to natural resource management and 3) promotes sustainable development respectful of the environment and resilient to climate change.

The project will aim to strengthen community systems for conflict management/prevention, increase access to judicial services and civil documentation, increased access to land, increased access to natural resources and income-generating activities.

The programme builds on DRCs, IRCs, and NRCs joint experiences with strengthening community resilience in Mali but also in the broader sub-region. More so, in combining the  technical and operational expertise of the three organisations, the project will support: the prevention of conflicts around agricultural resources (DRC technical lead), more inclusive processes for management of natural resources through the rule of law,  increased equitable access to income-generating  activities (NRC technical lead), particularly for women and young people in the target areas and increased access to water and improved nutrition (IRC technical lead).

The programme will have a strong integration of the three cross-cutting perspectives of environment and climate, protection and gender, to take into account the challenging context in which the programme will be implemented and increased risks of protection facing target populations. Strong integration of conflict sensitivity will be included throughout the duration of the project. 

The project will focus on 15 municipalities in the 2 regions of Nara and Segou regions. These locations have been selected due to either opportunities to prevent an escalation of conflict and/or large influx of displaced people. In Segou for example, the number of IDPs fleeing from large scale hostilities continue to increase. In Nara, at the proximity to the border with Mauretania, there are increased cross-border flows, especially of pastoralists seeking pastures for their cattle. 

To strengthen communities resilience to various shocks and prevent a further escalation of the conflicts in these regions, IRC will support 5 municipalities in the Nara region (Fallou, Njamana, Guire, Nara and Guenebe) and in the region of Segou, DRC will cover 5 municipalities (Niono, Siribala, Sebougou, Segou, Pelengana) and NRC 5 others (Markala, Cinzana, Sakoiba, Massala, Konodimini).In all the selected areas, the project will  implement a standardized package of activities composed of activities related to prevention and management of conflict, food and nutrition security, information, counselling and legal affairs, water and sanitation and economic recovery.

The programmes target the poorest and most vulnerable rural population and will reach at least 32, 580 people (20, 851 women, including 2632 girls and 11,729 men, including 1709 boys).
