Guinea Organisational Development Support Through this project, BRC is supporting general organisational development activities as requested and agreed with Guinea Red Cross. This could be small, ad hoc grants for workshops etc. which do not comprise a full project or programme in itself. Among other things, a project to update their physical and digital archiving systems has been implemented.
Aviva Partnership: FbA in Indonesia Â 
Â 
Forecast-based Financing (FbF) releases humanitarian funding based on forecasts for pre-agreed activities in anticipation of the occurrence of a disaster. In many cases this action in advance of rather than after a disaster, could reduce suffering, enhance preparedness and response, and contributes to a strengthened community resilience.Â 
Â 
The vision for FbA in Indonesia is to shift the current disaster management mindset of response to a disaster, to one that is â€˜response to a forecastâ€™-a shift that leverages current capacities and strengths and applies them to anticipatory approaches.
Â 
Support from AVIVA is helping PMI to realise this vision through funding to develop an Early Action Protocol to access funding for imminent threat in advance of a disaster occurring, based on a set of triggers, and pre-defined actions to be taken.

WISER MENA - Istibak This project aims to build up the climate resilience of Internally Displaced People (IDPs), refugee populations, and host communities in Iraq, Yemen, Palestine, and Syria by enhancing and promoting the co-production of forecast-based action with local, national and regional coordination mechanisms. These mechanisms range from community led coordination committees to Anticipatory Action regional dialogue platforms promoting the collaboration at country level to enhance the National Disaster Risk Management coordination mechanism. In so doing, the project aims to strengthen and accelerate operational anticipatory and early action initiatives in the MENA region. In addition to generating wider collaboration and learning on anticipatory action (AA) for refugees and IDPs to increase resilience, this project fills a wider research and operational gap by focusing explicitly on conflict-affected areas.
Libya Community Based Protection and PMEAL Project A multi-year protection program aimed at increasing the response and coping capacities of at-risk communities in Libya to the external risks that threaten their physical and psychological welfare. The program will consist of three main phases: 
1. phase one (6-12 months): mapping, building trust, identifying communities/branches.Â 
2. phase two: trainings and National Society Development
3. phase three: tailoredÂ protection activities.Â
PRCS CASH for Migration with CAR The government of Pakistan initiated a cash assistance programme (Ehsaas) to provide financial relief to the neediest members of society. However, refugees, undocumented migrants and stateless people are ineligible for this relief, despite being amongst the most vulnerable. Afghan refugees in Pakistan tend to be daily wage earners, and therefore lost all income sources with the advent of both the general lockdown as well as Pakistan's "smartlockdown". Unable to provide for themselves, and excluded from government and UNHCR assistance, Afghan refugees face serious livelihoods impacts and food insecurity.Â 
Pakistan Red Crescent Society has been requested by the Commissionerate for Afghan Refugees (CAR) to provide both cash and material assistance to this extremely vulnerable population. Cash would provide refugee families with immediate relief, allowing them to make their own decisions as to how best to support themselves.Â This is the first opportunity for PRCS to work together with the government of Pakistan to support migrants in any meaningful way, and if successful, opens the door to becoming a primary partner for future refugee and migrant interventions.
The project is part of a bigger engagement in the country. The project aims to address the financial needs of the Afghan refugee community, and in anticipation of a likely second wave of infections, PRCS proposes to provide 1,300 households with 12,000 rupees, in line with the government Ehsaas programme amount.Â

Kenya and Uganda Handwashing facilities 2021 Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises (R2HC)
Study title: Effectiveness study of the Jengu Handwashing Unit to increase handwashing with soap among crisis-affected populations.
Focus of this research: This research aims to assess whether providing crisis-affected populations with increased access to desirable and durable handwashing facilities will lead to increases in handwashing behaviour. The research will also build evidence on the acceptability, usability, durability, cost-benefits, maintenance and sustainable local production of the facility.
While our research will focus on evaluating the Jengu handwashing facility, it will also generate insights about handwashing infrastructure and behaviour that are useful for other actors, given current gaps in the literature. This includes:
Whether investing in more robust and behaviour-centric infrastructure will result in improved behaviour and whether behavioural changes are sustained over time.
The relative effectiveness of different operational and maintenance modalities for handwashing infrastructure in crisis settings.
The rate of soap and water consumption from shared handwashing facilities and the longevity of handwashing infrastructure.Â 
The requirements for, and impact of, a sustainable local supply chain for manufacturing and distributing handwashing facilities.
Â
Sahel Hunger Prevention Programme In order to contribute to tackle food insecurity in the Sahel, this 3-year intervention will work along several complementary workstreams - FSL surveillance, Mothers' Clubs, social protection, climate smart livelihoods, and a rapid response mechanism. At the regional level, BRC will continue to provide support to the Sahel+ Platform, ensuring collaboration and sharing among RC National Societies in the region.Â 
Â 
NSD, CEA, PSEA and PGI will be mainstreamed into the different components. The intervention will act in complementarity with existing projects supported by the BRC and being run by NSs within the Sahel, namely Cash Preparedness, Forecast-based Financing and Migration programming.
Â 
This programme builds upon the achievements of the Sahel Livelihoods Programme (phase 1 in 2016-2018 and phase 2 in 2019-2021).Â
MPCA/WASH/SGBV in Sinjar (Iraq) This project in partnership with French RC and Iraqi RC provides multipurpose cash assistance to GBV survivors and at-risk population in Sinjar to allow them to cover their basic needs while encouraging income generating activities and providing referrals to other livelihoods initiatives. BRC supports capacity building in GBV concepts to IRCS and partnering case management agencies' staff and volunteers.
The project started in December 2020 with the rehabilitation of a borehole and cash assistance to recently displaced populations, including GBV survivors.Â
Europe Refugee Crisis National Societies across Europe and the IFRC are at the forefront of the response to irregular migration into Europe, mainly of people seeking asylum. Almost every Red Cross Society in Europe is engaged in activities to prevent and alleviate the suffering faced by people on the migratory trail. In 2015 the domestic capacities of Red Cross Societies in some countries have been overwhelmed, leading other National Societies to provide financial, personnel, material, and moral support. BRC contributed to the appeals in Turkey, Greece, Italy, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Serbia, Hungary, Â Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as the IFRC Europe Regional Office appeal.
Furthermore, BRC has been responding to the refugee crisis since 2015 by supporting Red Cross work across Europe with personnel, funds and other practical support. While the rapid movement of people through Greece has stopped, BRC continued to respond to the refugees situated in camps across Greece - with a focus on Northern Greece. As many camps are closing, BRC is now providing support to HRC and IFRC in Thessaloniki with the aim of reaching urban migrants in the city (see UGSR project page). Also, currently supporting in Italy where large number of people continue to arrive on boats (please see MMPAT project page for more information).
Syria Floods 2019 Heavy rains starting on 31 March, has resulted in serious flooding in the Al Hasakeh Governorate of Syria, leaving 235,000 people affected in towns and villages in the North East of Syria. Many are living in camps for people internally displaced, displaced because of recent military activity. Serious damage to homes and agricultural lands has been reported in Quamishli, Jawadiyeh, Taâ€™robiyah, Tal Hamis, Qahtaniyyeh, Al Hasakeh and the IDP camp in Areesheh, as well as IDP Al Hol Camp. BRC will support SARC on the emergency flood response through Protection, Shelter and PMEAL Number of beneficiaries: â€¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Protection: 25,000 individuals â€¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Shelter: 5,000 individuals â€¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  PMEAL: SARC staff and volunteers/All RC Movement will be benefited from the PMEAL components of the project
Lebanon LRC DM Capacity Building PPL 2021-2022 This project aims to conduct capacity building trainings and workshops for both LRC-DMâ€™s staff and volunteers in order to improve the efficacy and quality of DM interventions and field approaches. Furthermore, as part of DMSâ€™s new strategy, this project will contribute to implement the general strategy, by meeting the minimum training standards set for DM centers. The project will specifically assist in filling gaps existing in teams through equipping and training DM volunteers on various skills and technicalities thus, empowering them to lead field interventions both efficiently and effectively. Therefore, LRC administered trainings will ensure a unified approach to activity implementation on the field, across Lebanon.
SGBV Prevention and Response in Disasters - Asia This project aims to prevent and reduce the occurrence of sexual and gender based violence at the community level, particularly in times of crisis. As gender based violence is closely linked to harmful gender based norms and beliefs, it will also seek to change attitudes toward violence in order to decrease the tolerance of sexual and gender based violence. Â  In the Philippines the project will be piloted in between four to six communities, in Tacloban city and Aklan province. The chosen communities will be confirmed, based on planning mission reports, and agreed to once at the inception workshop at the start of the project. Â  In Indonesia, the project will be piloted in between three to six communities in Aceh province and Bima City. If successful and dependant on the level of funding available the project could then be scaled-up, rolled out to other communities, and potentially implemented in other countries in the region. Â  This project will primarily work with women and girls as they are disproportionally affected by SGBV. However, we know from experience that exclusion of men and boys in such programmes distorts household dynamics and results in more violence towards women and girls and as such men and boys will also be engaged as key participants in this project. Â
ELISSA ELISSA - Enhancing Livelihoods In Sub-Saharan Africa
Through this 3-year programme, BRC will work to enhance food and nutrition security of selected communities in the Sahel, Sierra Leone, Namibia and Eswatini. Focus will be on improving resilience, climate change adaptation, increasing and diversifying incomes and reducing exposure to SGBV. Strengthening RC National Societies as well as promoting the IFRC Pan Africa Zero Hunger Initiative are also main components of this programme.Â
Uganda Population Movement 2018 (DRC) There has been anÂ increasing influx of refugees from DRC into west Uganda in recent months. Uganda RC have been part of the response to this, initially with support from a DREF and now an emergency appeal for CHF 1.8m
Â 
IFRC appeal -Â MDRUG040
Â 
BRC pledge - BRC only gave 50k of the 100k pledged originally, as the Uganda RC did not have international delegates on the ground for the response, as BRC requested for the second payment of 50k. IFRC extended the response to February 2020, therefore the final report has not come out yet.Â 
Â
Afghanistan La Nina 2021 Afghanistan has been experiencing an exceptional food insecurity condition in 2020 and 2021. Â A report by the Afghanistan National Statistics and Information Authority and Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock indicates that 16 provinces are experiencing severe negative impacts of La NiÃ±a events and below average precipitation on the agriculture sector.Â  According to the IPC (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification) report, between November 2020 and March 2021, around 13.15 million people (42% of the total population) have been experiencing high levels of acute food insecurity. Â Â In addition to the chronic underlying factors (including armed conflicts and unemployment/underemployment) of food insecurity, COVID-19 has further exacerbated the situation and escalated the level of food insecurity in Afghanistan.
Â In view of the humanitarian situation, IFRC has allocated 500,000 Swiss francs from DREF to enable the Afghan Red Crescent Society to initiate a response operation, through provision of emergency food security assistance to 3,500 drought affected households for four monthsÂ 
To scale up the response and incorporating the flood response, IFRC has launched an Emergency Appeal seeking around 15 million Swiss francs to support the Afghan Red Crescent Society, to reach 280,000 people over the next 15 months with the focus on food assistance, livelihood protection and restoration, and community-based sanitation and hygiene promotion

Contribution to MENA Regional CVA initiatives The MENA region has been dominated by a number of protracted and on-going conflicts, contributing to, along with other factors such as food insecurity, large scale displacement, a growing migrant population and over-stretched host communities. Social and political upheaval has degraded the existing safety nets and impeded further development, leaving many without access to essential services and reducing resilience to external risks. It is key that the Movement in MENA is supported to continue developing and innovating in terms of disaster management, including CVA which is essential to assist people affected by crisis. In such, there a clear recognition of the on-going investments and effort to enhance the capacities to deliver CVA by Movement partners in the MENA region.
Cash & Vouchers Based Assistance (CVA)1 is well-recognized as an appropriate way of providing humanitarian assistance. The recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the use of CVA, from 2015 to 2016 the amount of cash disbursed globally increased 40%. At the World Humanitarian Summit in 2016, many of the largest humanitarian agencies made a set of commitments, as part of the â€œGrand Bargainâ€, including commitments to increase the use of CVA.
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (RCM) is also committed to scaling up CVA. In 2017 a Movement Strategic Framework as well as an ambitious Roadmap was developed.
BRC is looking to provide funding towards two specific outputs of the MENA Regional Cash Plan, as well as a general contribution to the revised Plan of Action (as of Sept. 2020):
- Regional Cash Coordinator position (under Output 1.2 Enhanced Regional Cash Coordination)
- Regional Cash Centre of Excellence (CoE (under Output 2.1: Enhanced Regional Cash Capacity).
