Movement Governance and Strategic Partnerships This budget area covers the Movement Governance work of the International Directorate and Strategic Partnerships carried out by the Humanitarian Policy Department. These two areas can be separate in nature but are also often overlapping which is the reason that they are combined under one specific project. The Movement Governance aspect of this work relates to the formal role we play within the Movement relating to Statutory areas of work. This includes the British Red Cross role on the Governing Board of the IFRC and our contribution to statutory meetings including the General Assembly (every two years) the Council of Delegates (every two years) and the International Conference (every four years). The Strategic Partnerships side of this work is in relation to initiatives that we carry out with our Movement Partners in particular sister National Societies and also the IFRC and the ICRC. Specific partnerships on areas of humanitarian policy and substance will help us to achieve the pillars highlighted above in the Strategic Alignment section.

Guinea RHR project The Guinean Red Cross is a key player in the national system of response to emergencies in Guinea. In the response to the epidemic of Ebola the CRG provided leadership of the Hygiene and Sanitation Commission in addition to the services usually offered to communities in responding to emergencies. Community health is one of the three pillars of its strategic development plan 2015-2020. This project aims to increase the resilience of the communities in the region of Moyenne Guinée toward diseases with epidemic potential. The GRC are currently the best placed actor in Guinea to implement community-based health programs including community based surveillance through their network of volunteers trained in first aid disaster management and PHAST and their experience in social mobilization and management of several pillars of intervention against Ebola The project will support the development of a strong RC volunteer and health worker network to implement community-based surveillance systems The GRC approach is in line with the National Plan to strengthen epidemiological surveillance developed by the Ministry of Health in Guinea. This project is one of the components of a larger reproductive and sexual health programme implemented by the GRC and the Danish Red Cross since 2009 in Moyenne Guinée.

South Sudan - Internal Conflict Thousands of people have been killed in South Sudan following armed clashes between the government forces and opposition groups. The fighting which began in December 2013 in the capital Juba and quickly spread to neighboruing states seems to be fought along ethnic and tribal lines and comes as a major blow to a nation that only gained independence from Sudan in 2011 following decades of bitter fighting. As of February 2015 nearly 2 million of South Sudan s 11 million people are displaced inside and outside of the country. 2.5 million people are currently food insecure (IPC levels 3 and 4).
Bangladesh DEEPER Project The proposed action aims to enhance earthquake and emergency preparedness and reinforce de-centralised response capacities in Dhaka. It takes the results of the Dhaka Earthquake and Emergency Preparedness (DEEP) project as a foundation and seeks to consolidate and enhance urban disaster preparedness. Specifically DEEPER is designed to achieve four results of (1.) strengthened systems and volunteer capacities (2.) enhanced preparedness for response of target wards (3.) improved emergency preparedness of schools and health facilities and (4.) increased risk awareness and preparedness amongst the wider population of Dhaka. Considering Dhaka s high earthquake risk and structural vulnerabilities on the one hand and the city s centralised emergency response capacity on the other DEEPER s overarching rationale remains the same as that of its predecessor: that central systems be complemented by decentralised (ward-based) volunteer capacities to ensure swift and effective response to everyday emergencies (such as fires) and major earthquakes. It does not seek to replace existing systems but aims to enhance them and create better linkages between staff- and volunteer-based components. Yet DEEPER goes deeper: first it integrates a consolidated pool of volunteers into the city s emergency management system. Second it aligns the software-based DEEPER interventions with mainly hardware-based support of major development partners. Third it brings in digitalisation through 4 apps (to deploy manage volunteers and to raise awareness amongst Dhaka s population). DEEPER promotes a pragmatic approach to strengthen the agility to respond through a deeper focus on schools and health facilities and expands coverage to 18 wards. Note: DEEPER project will be implemented by the consortium of German Red Cross (Lead) British Red Cross Action Against Hunger and Christian Aid with BDRCS as an implementing partner.

Senegal RC OD The project will focus on the 3 main sectors identified in 2016 where BRC will provide technical support on loggistics and HR and ICRC will support the finance department. Proposal has been developed by the SRC with on-going consultations and technical advice from the BRC. The result-based approach and the progressive development of the project should ensure its achievement. Due to the low-start in the planning phase and the long-lasting process of the SRC restructure BRC has clearly stated that support will be conditional to results and strong commitments of the SRC to own and lead on the project. The constitution of a monitoring committee composed of SRC executive and governance ICR and BRC advisors is a key element to guarantee progress. SR will need technical advice and support from RCM components both in developing appropriate documents to strengthen effectiveness of support services and in developing key staff capacities. All RCM actors in country have committed to support the national societies according to needs and capacities.
Commonwealth The common language and legal tradition of the Commonwealth the shared values of commitment to dignity humanity the rule of law and mutual assistance provide an ideal basis for discussion of IHL the developing area of Disaster Laws and related humanitarian issues of common interest and concern. The Commonwealth spans most regions of the world and different cultures and religions. The friendly atmosphere mutual understanding and constructive outcomes of Commonwealth meetings make them a model of partnership and a safe testing ground for new ideas and proposals.
Lesotho Food Insecurity 2016 On 21 st December 2015 the Government of Lesotho declared a drought emergency and appealed for support to address the food insecurity situation. An estimated 15- 30 percent of Lesotho s population are in need of humanitarian assistance to help them cope with this acute drought situation. The IFRC launched the Lesotho Food Insecurity Appeal in 22/1/2016. The BRC are supporting this appeal with 200 000 from the Disaster Fund. In December 2016 the BRC released an additional CHF 68 431.00 of G funds to the IFRC appeal to enable LRCS to carry out the fourth and final scheduled cash transfer to 1800 households.
Principled Humanitarian Action The Principled Humanitarian Action project underpins how HP will lead and support enhanced BRC representation in the UK and in International policy forums and high level meetings.

Emergency Obstetrics Clinic Hajjah - Yemen Since the escalation of violence in March 2015 the healthcare sector in Yemen has been unable to respond to the rising needs. Hajjah has the second highest recorded number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Yemen hosting over 377 000 individuals. IDP households living within host communities are placing a strain on limited resources and it is likely that Hajjah will continue to show high levels of vulnerability. The YRCS Health Centre in Hajjah has been severely impacted experiencing severe capacity constraints due to lack of staff and medical supplies. GRC began supporting the YRCS Health Centre in December 2015 through the provision of drugs/medical supplies and supporting with operating and staff costs. The support provided by GRC saw a two-fold increase in the number of patient treatments from 776 in December 2015 to 1 482 in February 2016. Recognising that pregnant and lactating women and infants are especially vulnerable and are in need of specialized medical services but that appropriate facilities were not available; an Emergency Obstetrics Care (EmOC)unit was established. The specific objective of the unit was to reduce maternal and child morbidity and mortality and to increase the utilization of health services at the YRCS health centre. The EmOC unit comprises delivery and new born units and is also offering emergency obstetric care as per governmental standards. Since April 2016 the British Red Cross (BRC) has been successful in funding the EmOC unit; securing 30 000 from the Jersey Overseas Aid Committee (JOAC) in 2016 and 140 000 from the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) (Feb- Dec 2018). Both contributions have supplemented BRC s own appeal funds. In 2019 BRC has committed to continuing its support to EmOC with 480 000 for a further 24 months until Feb 2021.This is a mixture of restricted funds secured from the Isle of Man government ( 81 989) and Volant ( 100 000) supplemented bv BRC s own Emergency Appeal funds.
