Cross Society Rwanda E RWANDA RED CROSS SOCIETY 2014 Annual Report Annual Report 2014 1 Fundamental Principles Humanity The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavors, in its international and national capacity, to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose is to protect life and health and ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all people. Impartiality It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavors to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress. Neutrality In order to continue enjoying the confidence of all, the Movement may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature. Independence The Movement is Independent. The national Societies while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain their autonomy so that they are able at all time to act in accordance with the principles of the Movement. Voluntary Service It is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain. Unity There can be only one Red Cross or Red Crescent Society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory. Universality The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, in which all Societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other, is worldwide. 2 Annual Report 2014 Rwanda Red Cross Society Vision A healthy, self-sustained and resilient community Mission We are a national humanitarian organization aimed at preventing and alleviating human suffering for the most vulnerable people.

The objective of the abbreviated ESMA is to help ensure that activities will be in compliance with the national legislations of Rwanda and the World Bank’s E&S safeguards policies. Public Disclosure Authorized The document is the main due diligence instrument required by the World Bank as financer, and additionally covers and goes beyond the Rwandan national regulatory requirements for project- level environmental assessment and management. The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) will be the main resource for environmental management and monitoring for the Client and set the standards and practices that will guide environmental and social project performance. It will become part of the tender package and environmental management and compliance will constitute a subsection of line items in the bill of quantities (BoQ). The selected bidders will be required to accept E&S conditions and tasks upon contract signature, and the implementation of the ESMP will be an integral part of the construction contracts. The monitoring of E&S performance will, much as other quality criteria, be tied to contractual penalties and damage restoration requirements via appropriate contractual clauses.
