| Contesto | According to OCHA, around 300 million people were dependent on humanitarian aid in 2024; the triggers for this were diverse, with the number of people in need rising steadily, while the funds needed to meet their needs are becoming increasingly scarce. |
| Obiettivi | Rapid liquidity for the SRC to enable it to implement emergency aid operations tailored to the needs of those affected in foreign countries in the event of emergencies. |
| Gruppi target | Individuals and population groups who are in urgent need of humanitarian aid due to natural disasters or man-made crises. |
| Effetti a medio termine | People affected by crises around the world receive rapid, professional and unbureaucratic assistance, either through contributions to IFRC appeals or through the SRC's own efforts (e.g. personnel and relief supplies). |
| Risultati |
Risultati principali attesi: The basic needs of people affected by crises are met in accordance with humanitarian principles, without delay and in consultation with the SDC. Risultati fasi precedenti: In 2024, thanks to the aforementioned contribution (amounting to CHF 2’500’000 for that year), 40 humanitarian projects were carried out in contexts such as: Lebanon, Sudan, Malawi, Bangladesh and other countries. The actions were partially or fully funded with SDC’s annual contribution implemented with the local Red Cross/Red Crescent societies, complementing SDC activities where applicable. |
