Ebola 2014: caring for affected people and preventing further spread in Sierra Leone The Sierra Leone Red Cross Society seeks to provide short and long-term assistance to those affected by Ebola through community engagement, safe and dignified burials, health and care, disaster risk reduction, food security and livelihood assistance, monitoring and contact tracing, case management, and strengthening the capacity of the Sierra Leone Red Cross Society's to respond to the needs of the affected. 2014's Ebola epidemic in West Africa is the largest to date, and the first outbreak ever in West Africa. The epidemic in the region began in Guinea and then spread to the neighbouring countries of Liberia and Sierra Leone. There were also outbreaks in Senegal, Nigeria, and Mali. As of 7 November 2015, Sierra Leone was declared Ebola-free, but only after the virus claimed nearly 4,000 lives. Creating awareness among communities is critical to helping contain and prevent future cases of the virus. Community-based activities include hygiene promotion, safe and dignified burials that allow relatives and others to mourn the deceased safely to prevent the spread of the virus, psychosocial support, and information-sharing with communities. Other work in communities includes ensuring safe water, increased sanitation, and food security and livelihood support to counter the negative economic effects the virus has on population movements. Another critical component is contact tracing towards effective mapping of the disease, which strengthens resilience in communities. This project targets high-risk groups and opinion leaders, such as: women's groups and associations, bike riders and drivers, schools, religious and traditional healer leaders, health workers, and Ebola patients. Special attention is given to women, since they are particularly vulnerable. This project operates nationwide.

Well prepared Red Cross/Red Crescent societies for disaster response: Uganda The response preparedness programme in Uganda seeks to reduce the impact of disaster by strengthening the capacities of Red Cross Uganda through: ensuring a well-functioning national and local response mechanism is in place, relief stocks are strategically positioned and logistically supported, developing human disaster management capacity, and ensuring Red Cross Uganda has sound operational disaster management plans. Uganda is among a number of countries throughout the world that is prone to both disaster and conflict, and its Red Cross/Red Crescent national society lacks the capacity to adequately respond to emergencies fueled by disaster and conflict. Response preparedness support will be given through training and equipping Red Cross staff, providing relief kits and building infrastructure, training exercises, and developing contingency plans to further aid disaster response. This programme seeks to provide support to Red Cross staff to help those affected by disaster. The programme in Uganda is implemented throughout the country.
PRCS/L Health in Crisis Phase III PRCS/L Health in Crisis Phase III Lebanon is being hit by crisis after crisis, with a state of emergency in place and the political freeze continuing. The nationwide economic collapse and the COVID-19 pandemic have a huge impact on the whole population and especially refugees. Due to the protracted crisis situation, PRCS/L has to respond to an increased demand on their life-saving services. Unfortunately trends in the humanitarian domain in Lebanon are giving a very worrisome prognosis for 2021 from a political, socio-economic, security, and public health perspective.

Due to the fact that PRCS/L does not have a formal legal status in Lebanon, PRCS/L cannot run income generation activities. In combination with the reduction of UNRWA funds and PRCS/L being a subcontractor of UNRWA, PRCS/L has suffered a huge dent in the availability of funds to sustain their ambulance and outreach services and to keep their hospitals running. This project aims to continue support to PRCS/L’s core activities building on NLRC’s support over the past years, as well as complement that of other RC/RC Movement and external partners, in providing medicine, medical supplies for patients and to 5 PRCS/L hospitals that all support PRCS/L’s overall mandate and mission. The operational strategy of the project is to improve the health of the most vulnerable Palestinian refugees, Syrians, Lebanese and other vulnerable communities in Lebanon by strengthening the health emergency response capacity of PRCS/L.

Haiti earthquake 2010: Water and sanitation facilities for affected families As part of an on-going response to the January 12, 2010 earthquake, the Canadian Red Cross Society (CRC) and the Netherlands Red Cross are undertaking a series of health projects in the Southeast department of Haiti. Among these projects is a community-based health and first aid in action project (CBHFA) which includes the construction of 5,000 latrines. The overall goal of building latrines is increased disease and injury-resilience. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Western hemisphere, and in 2010 experience a devastating earthquake that further weakened the country's already fragile health, water, and sanitation systems. Only 45% and 25% of Haiti's urban and rural populations respectively have access to improved sanitation, creating critical public health risk and high child morbidity. With disease and injury prevention at its core, the programme builds latrines to encourage positive health-related behaviour in communities. Additional community-based outreach includes improving water infrastructure and training in proper sanitation. Households in the communes of Musac, Ternier, Gaillard, and Macary are targeted. The project takes place in Haiti's Southeast department, specifically in the communes of Cayes-Jacmel, La Vallée and Marigot. Within these communes, the communal sections of Gaillard, Macary, Musac and Ternier contain the sections where latrines will be built.

Strengthening Local Community Resilience to climate change in Northern, River Nile and Kassala State, in Sudan The overall objective of the project is to increase local communities’ resilience to climate change funded under the GCCA+ initiative. 

The project will reverse the trend of environmental degradation and lack of resilience in the following ways:
•	Improve management of key natural resources including:  communal forests and rangelands
•	Increase people’s awareness of the need for protection of natural resources, and provide men and women with the knowledge and means to sustainably manage these resources. 
•	Train and equip small-scale farmers and (agro-) pastoralists to adapt their livelihood practices to the current and predicted climatic conditions and natural resources available
•	Create opportunities for value addition and livelihood diversification, with increased opportunities for men, women, and youth to contribute to the household income

At the end of the project, selected communities in El Golid, Shendi and Telkouk localities will be less vulnerable to desertification through a combined approach of sustainable natural resource management and strengthening of livelihoods. An expanded area in the target locality will be protected from sand dune encroachment and sand movement; agricultural and pastoralist production at household level will have increased and diversified livelihood options.

Syria-ICRC Septembre Campaign 2016 This project aims at implementing lifesaving interventions such as access and benefits from primary health care services, preventive and curative health Syria is suffering since 2011 from a (protracted) crisis and residents and displaced populations in conflict and or besieged areas are hard to reach with medical aid and supplies People in eight provinces had recourse to preventive and curative care at seven mobile health units and seven polyclinics run by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, with material, financial and technical ICRC support – for instance, the ICRC purchased refrigerated vehicles for the National Society, so as to enable the latter to better transport vaccines. Other National Society-run clinics, and health facilities in besieged and/or hard-to-reach areas, received basic 
medical materials, including drugs for acute and chronic diseases, and supplies for childbirth. Assistance to some of these facilities was delivered during operations coordinated with the National Society and the UN (see above). Local authorities, health professionals and National Society personnel continued to work, with ICRC technical, material and financial support, to curb leishmaniasis and other communicable diseases. People mitigated their risk from such diseases with the help of health-promotion and lice-treatment campaigns, and bed net distributions. 
The ICRC continued to develop activities for ensuring the referral of victims of sexual violence to providers of appropriate care Wounded and sick people lacking health care. The total number reached with health care in 2016 is 1.4 million people mostly in besieged areas
Venezuela - Health Emergency The planned response reflects the current situation which is evolving, and will be adjusted based on further assessments, contingencies and emerging issues. Due to the pressing need to expand the provision of health and WASH services, activities that have not been covered by the IFRC Venezuela Country Office Plan will be included under this Appeal, and the Country Office Plan will be reviewed to ensure full complementarity and avoid duplications. Medical equipment needs replacement and urgent maintenance to cover the high demand for medical services, throughout the wider public health care system, including VRC health network. Also, national power outages have caused the deterioration of the functioning conditions in the health facilities, which generates an immediate need to invest in a better operative integrity in case of presenting or prolonging the difficulties of having continuous electrical sources in public health installations. Medical equipment, including power generators, are particularly in demand.

Partners for Resilience: Indonesia 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 Indonesian 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 Indonesia.

Worldwide silent disasters 2016 The Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) provides immediate financial support to Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies, enabling them to act as first responders after a disaster. Projects in this programme are funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and provide monetary support for small, silent disasters around the world in 2016. The lack of visibility and media attention in the case of small-scale disasters means that international appeals or funding are not forthcoming to support any response, and few other sources are available to first-responders. DREF makes it possible to assist in case of these silent disaster. Each response supported by DREF may be different, depending on context, scope of needs, accessibility and security of the affected area, and the mandate and capacity of the National Society that is responding. Allocations may be made as start-up loans to meet the costs of responding to small-scale emergency relief operations, or for making preparations in the case of imminent disaster. All requests for DREF allocations are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. DREF appeals are initiated by IFRC and are implemented in cooperation with Host National Society. In 2015 NLRC contributed to DREF appeals in Bangladesh, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Vietnam and Yemen.
