Building resilience of the elderly on Bonaire Supporting the elderly in increasing their resilience through creating a safer living environment and increasing their social networks Elderly people are often lacking a social network as family members migrate away from Bonaire, and loneliness is a big issue on the islands. With an increased social network, they can alert others of their situation, and social activities increase the well-being of individuals. Volunteers will also assess the safety in the homes of beneficiaries with the aim to improve their living situations. Through social activities, courses and home visits, elderly people will increase their social networks and safety in their immediate surroundings. 20-30 elderly Bonaire
Floods in DPR Korea 2016 From 29 August to 31 August, heavy rainfall in North Hamgyong Province caused the Tumen River and its tributaries to flood around the Chinese-DPRK border and other areas in the province. In all, 138 deaths have been reported with a further 400 people missing, and at least 140,000 people have been severely affected across six counties in the province. Over 30,000 houses have been damaged, submerged or completely destroyed and close to 70,000 people remain displaced.
Yemen operation 2017 Thus, the ICRC is in the process to scale up its efforts to help people meet their immediate needs in Hodeida and Taiz. Armed conflicts and other situations of violence persist throughout Yemen, notably in parts of Al-Jawf, Sa’ada, Sana’a and Taiz. The fighting has caused thousands of civilian casualties, displaced millions and led to severe shortages of essential medicines and other supplies. Few humanitarian organizations remain in the country – over 160 health-care facilities and several offices of humanitarian organizations have been directly attacked in the last two years. The situation is expected to worsen: in early 2017, the Saudi Arabia-led military coalition, active in the country since 2015, launched an offensive aiming to take control of Hodeida, Yemen’s largest port city. To help vulnerable households meet their immediate needs, the Yemen Red Crescent Society and the ICRC is distributing emergency relief in the form of food, nutritional supplements, household essentials and cash; tens of thousands of households are expected to benefit from such assistance in 2017. Several thousand households will receive food or cash in exchange for working on community-based projects. The ICRC will also continue supporting local authorities in minimizing disruptions to the water supply for an estimated 3.55 million people in urban and rural areas, by repairing facilities or donating spare parts and other supplies. Where security conditions permit, the ICRC will help households resume or improve their livelihoods, through veterinary services and by distributing farming and fishing tools. An intense battle for control of Taiz has placed both the city and its people in a state of siege, leaving communities completely cut off from supplies. Water levels are critically low, while food prices are soaring. In March 2017, our teams were able to enter Taiz, bringing desperately-needed food, hygiene items and blankets for over 7,000 people. This was the first delivery of aid in Taiz since September 2016. People in Hodeida and Taiz Hodeida and Taiz
LRC ICT support The aim of this project is to revise the ICT Unit’s strategy for the upcoming 5 years in order to improve its alignment with digital transformation and to be able to efficiently use LRC’s existing resources. In its quest to strengthen its information, digital, and cybersecurity strategy, the Lebanese Red Cross took a strategic decision to assess its information security risks, update its ICT strategy, define a roadmap to implement an Information Security Management System (ISMS) and ultimately get ISO certified. Getting the ISO certification would allow LRC to become compliant with GDPR standards, as well as enhance data sharing agreements and ensure that the data sharing processes safeguard the information shared by having the proper policies and procedures in place. Improve LRC’s ICT compliance with Data Protection and Data Responsibility Movement Standards. The main objective is to improve the governance and management of the ICT systems and to embed an information security culture which aims to protect the data of the people LRC serves, and prevent doing harm to these people by the use of data and information systems while relying on standards and well-known best practices.

Food and Hygiene in Iraq, 2014 In response to the some 2.4 million displaced, the Red Cross has put in place measures to improve the most pressing needs: water, sanitation, and hygiene, shelter and household items, and food security, nutrition, and livelihoods. In addition, it has strengthened the disaster response and risk reduction capacity of the Iraq Red Cross. The Netherlands Red Cross supplied funding for hygiene kits, jerrycans, food parcels, and non-food items. The surge in violence between armed groups and government forces has resulted in over 2.4 million internally displaced people across 2,744 locations in Iraq and left hundreds of thousands of people in need of assistance. The majority of displaced are in private settings, which place strain on strain on local communites and basic services. Critical shelter arragements house some 700,000 people, compirsing unfiished or abandoned buildings not fit for living, with the remainder living in camps. To furthur strain facilities and resources, Syrian refugees place addtional strain on infrastructures. Water, sanitation and hygiene were promoted through the distribution of hygiene kits and related items alongside constructing water and sanitation facilities. 9,306 people were reached with hygiene kits and related items. The most essential shelter and household needs were met through distributions of non-food items such as kitchen sets, clothing vouchers, stoves, mattresses, and blankets, and rehabilitation of unfinished buildings. Non-food items reached 20,219 people. Food parcels were distributed, reaching 10,408 households. Over 150,000 people were reached with food and non-food Items. 36,000 internally displaced families were provided with hygiene items. The project was located in Iraqi Kurdistan in the Erbil governorate, Duhok governorate, and Zakho district within the Duhok governorate.
Well prepared Red Cross/Red Crescent societies for disaster response: Palestinian Red Crescent in Lebanon The goal of the Lebanon programme is to reduce the impact of disasters through improving the response preparedness and capacities of the Lebanese Red Cross and the Palestinian Red Crescent/Lebanon Branch. The Netherlands Red Cross will work with both the Lebanese Red Cross and Plaestinian Red Cross towards: improving the functioning of local and national response mechanisms, strengthening human disaster-management capacity, improving disaster management and contingency plans: creating strategically positioned and logistically supported relief stocks, and strengthening human capacity for disaster management. Lebanon is prone to floods, landslides, earthquakes, storms, and forest fires alongside complex internal and regional conflict, with the latter resulting in large numbers of Palestinan refugees residing in the country. Due to the large numbers of Palestinian refugees, Lebanon has the presence of both Lebanese and Palestinian Red Cross societies, being the only country in the world where two national Red Cross societies permanently reside. Thus, owing to the highly sensitive issues surrounding the Palestinian minority and its rights, it is of paramount important that the two Red Cross societies continue to collaborate effectively in times of emergencies. The above objectives will be carried out by providing both material, training, additional staff where needed, and development and assisatance with contingency plans. Material supports will include items such as communications equipment, medicines, ambulances, and renovation of storage warehouses, while training will include prepairing staff in Red Cross Palestinian hosptials hospitals in disaster response. This programme seeks to provide support to Red Cross staff to help those affected by disaster, and specifically Palestinians in refugee camps in Lebanon. Stakeholders involved in this programme include: the Swiss Red cross: the German Red Cross, IFRC, UNRWA, and UNHCR. Additionally, both the Palestinian and Lebanese authorities provide critical coordination and information exchange, and communities are also consulted and involved. This is particularly the case in Palestinian camps, where populations can be represented by popular committees. The programme in Lebanon is implemented throughout the country.

3FM Serious Request 2012: Reducing infant mortality in Zambia The goal of the project is to contribute towards the reduction of maternal, neonatal, and child mortality rates in Zambia, with particular focus on the rural Limulunga district, located in the Western province. The project centres on strengthening community participation in maternal, new-born and child health services, improving community knowledge of safe motherhood, and scaling-up the use of available reproductive health facilities and services by communities. Despite being one of Africa's most peaceful and politically stable countries, and making significant progress on maternal, new-born, and child health over the past ten years in adopting related Millennium Development Goals, Zambia has some of the world's highest maternal, neonatal, and child mortality rates. In particular, the rural Limluluga district has some of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country, high poverty levels, a lack of health facilities and qualified workers, high incidences of HIV, AIDS, and malaria and a host of other issues that contribute to these mortality rates. The project reduces infant and maternal mortality through establishment of small maternal motherhood action groups and public awareness education, both of which foster community responses to mortality by discussing issues such as family planning, male roles in safe motherhood, and disease awareness and prevention. Care infrastructures will also be built to both establish gaps in the provision of maternal health services and increase access to maternal care in Limulunga district's dispersed population setting. All work involves local health facilities and relevant governmental departments. Women of child-bearing ages, including adolescents, and new-borns are direct beneficiaries of the project, while health workers, community leaders, and males will all benefit from the various educational opportunities presented. This is based in Zambia, with particular focus on the rural Limulunga district, located in its Western province.

Somalia - Drought Emergency 2021 This Emergency Appeal seeks a total of 8.7 million Swiss francs to enable the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to support Somalia Red Crescent Society (SRCS) to deliver humanitarian assistance to 563,808 people (93,968 households) over 18 months to address the current hunger crisis in Somaliland and Puntland. Poor rains and extended drought over multiple seasons have had a major impact on rural livelihoods and food security in Somalia. The Gu’ rain season1 April to June has ended early with a poor rainfall performance in many parts of Somalia even though there were heavy rains and flooding in parts of the country in late April and early May. The combined impact of drought and floods are likely to exacerbate the already critical food security situation in Somalia. Out of a population of 12.3 million in Somalia, 5.6 million people are food insecure and a fifth of the population, 2.8 million people, cannot meet their daily food requirements2. It’s reported that approximately 840,000 children under the age of five are likely to be acutely malnourished, including nearly 143,000 children who are likely to be severely malnourished. 563,808 people Somalia
Ebola 2014: caring for affected people and preventing further spread in Guinea The Red Cross Society of Guinea works to contribute to the reduction of Ebola-related morbidity and death. Operations focus on emergency response, recovery of health and care, disaster preparedness and risk reduction, food security and livelihoods, and developing Guinea’s Red Cross Society. Since the virus has persisted, operations also include long-term recovery planning to help manage the broader impacts of the outbreak. 2014's Ebola epidemic in West Africa is the largest to date, and the first ever outbreak 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. Guinea is the only country, in West Africa or otherwise, where the virus persists. Since the goal of the project is to completely stop the spread of the virus to where there are no new cases, control of the virus is key. Here, health activities, awareness messaging and psychosocial support for communities, especially those that are hotspots for the virus, are provided along with other means of increasing communities' understanding of the virus. Health infrastructures are also improved to be able to more effectively trace and monitor potential outbreaks and increase resilience. Food-for-work assistance is given because the virus restricts movement, having negative economic effects. The target for the appeal remains the entire population of Guinea, given that everyone is potentially at risk of contracting Ebola. Interventions will be particularly targeted at women and children, as well as people with disabilities. This project takes place throughout the country, since everyone is potentially at risk for contracting Ebola. However, focus is give to areas where active transmission occurs and areas with highly vulnerable populations.

DPR Korea - Floods (DREF) The overall objective is to ensure the humanitarian needs of up to 330,000 people in Hoeryong City, Musan County, Yonsa County, Onsong County, Kyonghung County and Kyongwon County in North Hamgyong Province affected by the floods are met in a timely, effective and efficient way. From 29 August  to 31 August 2016, heavy rainfall occurred in North Hamgyong Province of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) – in some areas more than 300 mm of rain were recorded within two-day period, resulted in the flooding of the Tuman River and its tributaries around the China-DPRK border and other neighbouring areas in the province. The floods were intensified due to Typhoon Lionrock which hit the coast and prevented the rainfall from flowing down the river. Therefore the water was locked in the riverbed, and the surrounding areas were flash-flooded. This project delivers assistance to flood-affected populations through providing shelter and non food items, water, sanitation, and hygiene help, health assistance, disaster risk reduction, and national society capacity building. This project reaches 330,00 people (82,500 households). This project takes place in Hoeryong City, Musan County, Yonsa County, Onsong County, Kyonghung County and Kyongwon County in North Hamgyong Province.
