This action will enable local communities to design and utilise responsible, adaptable and accountable responses to crises. This action is designed to equip local civil society organisations and community-based front-line emergency responders, and self-help groups with the resources to prepare for, and respond to crises. Protracted conflicts require a new, women-led approach to shift power to local populations so they can move from short-term humanitarian ways of working to integrated approaches involving localisation, capacity building, humanitarian interventions, development and security, with the aim to leave no one behind. First Line Emergency Response system in Myanmar: This programme is implemented by a consortium of international and local non-governmental organisations (NGOs) cooperating with local authorities. DIZA combines humanitarian assistance with development cooperation. The DIZA programme (Programme de développement inclusif dans les zones d’accueil) is a nexus programme that aims to help the most vulnerable people in Chad – refugees, returnees, internally displaced people, and host communities – by increasing access to basic social services, generating employment opportunities, and strengthening local governance and resilience. Recent EU-funded actions include: The DIZA programme in Chad: The EU places resilience, through a nexus approach, as a central objective in its development and humanitarian assistance. The EU also launched the Resilience Compendium, a collection of 29 practical examples of disaster risk reduction and resilience activities carried out by the EU, other donors, organisations, and vulnerable communities. Helping individuals and communities be better prepared for, withstand, and cope with the immediate aftermath of a disaster or other crises is vital in reducing the impact of such crises and avoiding loss of life and livelihoods.Īll humanitarian projects funded by the European Union have to apply the Resilience Marker which ensures that the interventions reduce risks and strengthens people's coping capacities so as to minimise humanitarian needs. This approach ensures that humanitarians can focus on acute needs and those in development can focus on long term resilience, promoting peaceful and robust communities. The humanitarian-development-peace nexus approach is a shared vision in the EU, which puts into effect the synergies between members of the humanitarian, development, and peace community. As such, the EU places importance on finding more durable and sustainable solutions for these people Building communities’ resilience is critical to minimise the impact of disasters and prevent future humanitarian crises. A person’s resilience depends on many factors such as their economic well-being, education, gender, health, and age as these define their capacity to cope and adjust. Crises are becoming increasingly recurring and protracted.ĭisasters and humanitarian crises affect people differently. The impact of such disasters and the complexity of humanitarian crises is growing, as climate change results in more severe and frequent weather-related events, coupled with population growth, rapid urbanisation, depleted eco-systems, and conflicts. Disasters caused by natural hazards and conflicts pose a major threat to sustainable development and peace.
