Description 

The International Committee of the Red Cross’ (ICRC) primary mission is to help protect people’s lives and dignity affected by conflict and other violent situations. The ICRC assists and prevents further suffering by promoting and strengthening international humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles. With GAC’s support and other donors, the ICRC’s humanitarian operations aim to provide protection, emergency relief, and other essential services to people affected by armed conflict and other violent situations, and promote respect for international humanitarian law. This project supports the ICRC’s activities in key humanitarian contexts. The funding also supports a special initiative to strengthen ICRC's response to sexual violence to improve service delivery, prevent sexual violence, and improve its staff's capacity to respond. This grant supports a pilot initiative launched by the ICRC and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to strengthen the capacity of Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies, especially those in contexts with heightened humanitarian needs risks. Project activities include: (1) providing medical care, access to water and sanitation facilities, food assistance and livelihoods support; (2) providing Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies with technical expertise to strengthen their capacity in areas such as promoting international humanitarian law, restoring family links, and delivering relief in situations of armed conflict and violence; and (3) ensuring that international humanitarian law is respected in the treatment of detainees, and civilians not taking part in hostilities.

Expected results 

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved access to protection, food assistance, health services, livelihood support and other essential services to people affected by armed conflict and other situations of violence in affected countries; and (2) increased operational capacities of the Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
