Madagascar - Plague 2017 The overall objective of the operation is to contribute to the reduction in mortality and morbidity due to theplague in 22 priority regions through effective prevention and response activates for both bubonic and pneumonic forms of transmission to support some 2 million people affected or at risk. Outbreaks of pneumonic plague are very rare and require specific expertise to ensure adequate response. Limited knowledge of the pneumonic plague within the community is fuelling rumours, fear and panic and this has the potential to limit the impact of social mobilization activities and the access of MRCS and local authorities to respond if community engagement is not managed effectively. As mentioned above, the MRCS is working on a plan to scale the response according to the levels of plague cases and risk. Initial districts will receive support according to the six pillars of the response to respond to the outbreak of the plague and to arrest the spread. In the other districts, the focus will be more on information and sensitization to ensure communities are informed of the risks and take appropriate actions and make behavioural change to prevent the spread of the disease.

Improving food security in drought affected communities Malawi Malawi is currently in the midst of a significant drought that has caused widespread food insecurity and a safe water crisis - a result of climate change and the El Niño phenomenon. The prolonged dry spell and erratic rainfall negatively affected crop production in much of the country during the 2015/16 agriculture season. The priorities of the Project, complementary to the Malawi Government’s 2016-2017 Food Insecurity Response Plan (FIRP 2016-2017) are to augment existing cash-based interventions through the provision of cash transfers to enable the affected population to procure non-maize food items; rehabilitate communal sources of safe drinking water and conduct community based hygiene and sanitation campaigns; support farmers with small landholdings through training in sustainable agriculture and provision of initial farm inputs; and establishing information management systems to complement the effort of the government in surveillance and monitoring of natural hazards and health risks.
3FM Serious Request 2015: The Next Generation, technical assistance The programme This Next Generation, Supporting the development of young people in war and conflict. The theme focusses on children and young adults who live in the most extreme circumstances and therefore have little chance on schooling and development. They are the silent victims of war. The funding of this programme is made possible by 3FM fundraising activity. The aim of the programme is to make young people who have to cope with conflict and that are part of ‘this next generation’ more resilient to the consequences of conflict. The Red Cross supports the development of young people in war and conflict by focussing on four different area's: education and personal development, psychosocial support, food and income for families, and emergency assistance. This project contains the technical support and advisors for implementing the programme. Technical support is offered from NLRC HQ in The Hague.

Pakistan - Balochistan Floods/Snowfall 2017 This project saw that the immediate needs of flood and heavy snowfall affected populations were met through the provision of emergency health services, improved access to clean drinking water and emergency food items. Continuous, heavy rain and snowfall broke long-standing precipitation records in Pakistan's Baluchistan province, and caused widespread flooding across 3 districts of Baluchistan from 17 to 22 January 2017. The government declared an emergency in the 3 most affected districts and called for assistance for 60,000 families that were affected by onset of disaster situation in Baluchistan. This program met the immediate needs of affected populations though providing emergency health services and improved access to clean drinking water, hygiene promotion activities, and by delivering short-term food assistance in the form of cash grants. This project assisted  10,500 people (1,500 families). This project was located in Pakistan's Baluchistan province.
2022 South Africa Floods and Landslides A National State of Disaster has been declared after three days of pounding rain that has caused one of the deadliest natural disasters in South Africa´s recent history Over 30,000 people have been evacuated to 28 evacuation centres, but as the number of people arriving increases, more centres are being prepared. These crowded spaces lack safe water, sanitation and hygiene, hence there are serious risks of proliferation of diseases. Protection risks, particularly Sexual Gender Based Violence (SGBV) cannot be ruled out So far, SARCS has provided food, blankets, and other household items to over 2,000 people in evacuation centres, as well as first aid and psychosocial support to victims. The strategy of the IFRC supported response focuses on attention to urgent needs of people in the evacuation centres, supporting risk reduction and early recovery in communities when appropriate, noting that safe housing solutions must be found as return to informal and hazardous settlements is not an option. Presently, priority areas at this stage are the following: 1) Integrated Household Assistance (household items, food, and multi-purpose cash); 2) Health (including PSS) and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), and 3) Protection and Prevention According to national authorities, at least 123,808 people were affected, 448 people died and over 30,000 are displaced, mostly in collective evacuation centres.

3FM Serious Request Lifeline 2019: Human Trafficking Annual campaign with 3FM Serious Request. This year's topic: Human trafficking
3FM Serious Request 2010: HIV prevention & treatment in Mozambique The purpose of the project is to contribute to the building of community and family resilience to HIV by improving the care and support for children and their families who are affected by HIV, by preventing new infections and reducing consequences related to HIV/AIDS, including stigmatisation and discrimination, and by improving the capacity of the Mozambique Red Cross Society in project/ programme management at the local and national level. In 2009 the national prevalence of HIV in adults was 15%. Tuberculosis (TB), and TB and HIV coinfection, are major public health problems. Despite a decrease in the number of HIV/AIDS related deaths – which is largely due to a greater access to counselling and testing services - the rates of noncompliance with treatment are too high and a better monitoring of patients at community level is necessary. The growing number of new HIV infections and AIDS among adolescents and young people is believed to be caused mainly by high levels of poverty, limited access to information, and low education. The community based approach will reach community members through sensitisation campaigns and peer education. Traditional healers and other gatekeepers in the communities will be sensitised to sexual health issues. The kids' club approach aims at integrating children in recreational, educational and psychosocial support activities in their communities. Through volunteer supported training people living with HIV will be involved in the care of vulnerable children, as well as in HIV prevention. Socioeconomic development and income generating activities will be promoted. The local and implementing partner of the Netherlands Red Cross (NLRC) is the Cruz Vermelha de Mozambique. The direct beneficiaries of the project are 1 120 children, 283 families of people living with HIV/AIDS, and 1 600 youth in and out of schools. Indirect beneficiaries who are expected to be reached by community mobilisation activities include all members (14 519) of the project sites. The project is carried out in three areas in the Sofala Province: Beira City, Nhamatanda District, Buzi District. Some areas are more difficult to reach due to poor road conditions. The Province forms a corridor that is vital, and economically and politically strategic, connecting the south and the north of the country, as well as other countries in the region.

Ethiopia - Epidemics According to EPHI, the latest report on Cholera outbreak response, indicate that the transmission of Cholera outbreak
is likely to continue across Ethiopia due to poor awareness, low level of sanitation facilities and less improvement on
positive behavioural change towards the control of diarrheal diseases. The same report indicated that provision of
water purification chemicals, Social mobilization to create awareness and Ambulance service for early case treatment
at the nearby health facilities will be priority concerns in Cholera outbreak response. Safe water and sanitation coverage is still a concern in many parts of the targeted regions. To control the Cholera
outbreak transmission that the affected population still needs, the provision of drinking water, water purification
chemicals, social mobilization activities for awareness creation. According to UNICEF in Ethiopia 60 to 80% of
communicable diseases are attributed to limited safe water and inadequate sanitation and hygiene services. Diarrhoea
is a leading cause of under-five mortality in Ethiopia with at least 70,000 deaths a year i.e. 23% of under-five deaths1 Health, WASH 350,000 people. (70,000 households) The most affected of all seven regions in Ethiopia:
iOromia (360 cases, 41%), followed by Amhara (202 cases, 23%), Afar (131 cases, 15%), Addis Ababa (125 cases,

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.
Vanuatu -  Ambae Volcano Eruption This project seeks to assist the most affected population on the island of Ambae. On 23 September 2017, the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-hazards Department (VMGD) increased the activity level for Monaro volcano on Ambae island, Penama province to Level 4: a moderate eruption state. A new volcanic cone has formed within one of the two crater lakes (Manaro Vui). 
 
This alert level indicates that flying rocks and volcanic gas will affect the Red Zone – a 6.5 km radius around the volcano crater. Villages located further from the volcano’s crater can expect volcanic hazards, including explosions and ash rain.  There is also an increased likelihood that ash falls around the island, especially in villages exposed to the prevailing trade winds direction. . As a result of the volcano’s increased activity over the past few weeks, many of the island’s water sources have been contaminated through ash fall and acid rain. Acid rain may cause damage to food crops and contribute to food insecurity for people living on the island. At this level of activity, the VMGD has advised that the volcano’s activity may increase or decrease at any time without warning. This project will assist the most vulnerable populations on the island of Ambae through emergency shelter, the distribution of water, sanitation, and hygiene non-food items, providing support to the government response, increasing awareness of preparedness measures and evacuation procedures, and replenishing stores of non food items for future disaster preparedness. This project reaches  5,500 people. This project takes place on the island of Ambae.

NPL food security support to Syria SARC is the main humanitarian actor in Syria, working closely with the local communities providing humanitarian assistance to more than 5 million internally displaced people, affected communities and returnees every month. This assistance is based around the provision of food security. Provision of food assistance remains the main life-saving intervention in-country, although the start-up of food security and livelihoods initiatives is consistently growing and having meaningful impact at small-scale. According to assessments from WFP, food production has dropped to an all-time low in Syria. Many farmers have had to abandon their land, unable to afford the soaring costs of seeds, fertilizers and tractor fuel. There is a growing need to provide food to displaced people, affected communities, and people living in hard-to-reach (HTR) areas and areas under siege, in order to save lives and prevent severely damaging coping mechanisms.
Food prices have soared, with particularly grave consequences for the poorest and most vulnerable people. During market assessments conducted in Kafr Batna (in eastern Ghouta) at the end of last year, results pointed towards very limited food stocks, with severe shortages of staple foods such as rice, pulses, sugar and oil. The same situation translates to other areas experiencing escalation of the conflict, such as Rural Damascus and Rural Homs and Hama. For Livelihoods and food-security related initiatives, specific beneficiary selection criteria may slightly vary depending on particularities of each project, for example, one project may consider access to land; while other projects may prioritize access to functioning markets, or previous experience with agriculture and livestock. However, the core criteria, shared by all projects includes key vulnerability insights such as: ▪ Families headed by women. ▪ Families with no source of income. ▪ Families with disabled children. ▪ Families with big number of children (5 and more). ▪ One of the family members at least should be under the age of 60. See above IFRC approach is to continue providing food parcels as priority items for dispatch on short notice, for sudden onset internal displacement and new isolated locations opening for humanitarian relief, and overall emergency situations. IFRC items will be used by SARC in a flexible manner in emergency situations.

Other DRR measures
- Formulating community based disaster risk reduction plans
- Strengthening capacity of communities to assess, anticipate and respond to water mediated disaster risks
- Implementing disaster risk reduction actions by leveraging resources from ongoing development programmes of the government 
- Establishing community based early warning systems As a result of the improved intitutional frameworks for disaster management, recent extreme events (such as the aftermath of Phailin, 2013) have resulted in fewer losses of human lives, and increased calls from various parts of society to  increase investments in disaster risk reduction (DRR) measures that also result in lowering community vulnerability. - Through drafting and dissemination of a policy brief on Eco-DRR approaches for reducing water-induced disaster risks in urban and peri-urban spaces
- Through guidelines and policy prescriptions for prioritizing wetlands from DRR and CCA perspective
- Through participatory community scale risk reduction planning.

It will allow to:
- Prove the concept of enhanced resilience for the three case studies (60,000 people) to water-mediated risks through increased capability to assess, anticipate and respond to risks.
- Increase investment in Eco-DRR actions for addressing  water-mediated risks
- Increase investment in wetland restoration as an Eco-DRR action for building disaster resilience
- Build capacity of policy planners and CSOs on designing Eco-DRR actions 12,000 households (appr. 60,000 people) living in the targeted area

Target groups for the project include: 
–	Panchayati Raj Institutions which will have the capacity to identify and implement Eco-DRR actions for reducing water-mediated disaster risks within the pilot landscapes; 
–	PfR: SP partners and CSOs working in the two pilot basins who will be trained in landscape risk assessment ; 
–	Wetlands Programme of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, and the Smart City Mission of Ministry of Urban Development which will receive a policy brief and the required evidence base to promote wetlands restoration as an Eco-DRR and climate change adaptation approach;

Food insecurity in Burundi The intervention will target 2.000 household which is the equivalent of approximatively 10,000 direct beneficiaries. We are aiming for 500 households per province. For the provinces of Bubanza and Bujumbura Rural, beneficiaries will be selected according to the list of beneficiaries of a food distribution by the WFT in February 2017. Households who have been selected on vulnerability criteria of the WTF will receive assistance of the BRCS. For the provinces of Cibitoke and Rumonge, the food security assessment conducted by the BRCS with support of the NLRC will allow us to select the most vulnerable hill units. Within the selected hill units, the following criteria will be used to select beneficiaries; households who have lost the last season’s crops and households who have land in the wetland basins. With a history of prolonged conflict, political instability and natural and man-made disasters, chronic and acute food insecurity and malnutrition have been worsening over the years. The Burundi Integrated Context Analysis conducted in 2014 concluded that most provinces are affected by the long-term concurrent occurrence of shocks, chronic food insecurity, poverty and chronic malnutrition. The average national stunting prevalence is as high as 49.6 percent, and most provinces in the north and east of the country have even higher rates ranging between 50 and 60 percent. At the same time, acute food insecurity and acute malnutrition continue to worsen - the situation has deteriorated dramatically in the last year with the latest Food Security and Monitoring Survey from December 2016 showing nearly 3 million people food insecure, up from 31% in December 2015 and 28% in August 2016. Activities:
•	Certified seeds distribution, certified by the Office National de Certification des Semences (ONCS), 
•	Distribution of small agricultural material,
•	Composting training to BRCS volunteers who will monitor the beneficiaries,
•	Technical monitoring by the Direction Provinciale de l’Agriculture et de l’Élevage (D.P.A.E), The intervention will target 2.000 household which is the equivalent of approximately 10,000 direct beneficiaries. We are aiming for 500 households per province. The intervention will take place in 4 of the 18 provinces of Burundi. The four selected provinces are Cibitoke, Rumonge, Bubanza and Bujumbura Rurale, covering mostly the western provinces.
