Description 

The International Committee of the Red Cross’ (ICRC) primary mission is to help protect the lives and dignity of people affected by conflict and other violent situations. The ICRC assists and works to prevent further suffering by promoting and strengthening international humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles. The ICRC works with local Red Cross and Red Crescent national society staff and volunteers to implement its protection and assistance programmes worldwide. With the support of GAC 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 situations of violence, as well as to promote respect for international humanitarian law. Project activities include: (1) protecting and assisting people affected by conflict and violence through providing medical care, income support, and food assistance; (2) ensuring the respect of international humanitarian law in the treatment of civilians not taking part in hostilities and detainees; (3) promoting humanitarian principles (neutrality, impartiality and independence) among all stakeholders; and (4) participating with all stakeholders in negotiating safe access to populations in need.

Expected results 

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) improved access to protection, food assistance, health services, livelihoods support and other essential services for people affected by armed conflict and other violent situations; (2) increased awareness of all parties, from affected persons to combatants to better understanding international humanitarian law (IHL) and humanitarian principles; and (3) 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.
