    II: RESULTS 4. Relevance While comparing the project objectives with the context (problem description) in the area of special state concern, the following observations can be noted: Objective: ..”Get an improved humanitarian situation for extremely vulnerable persons (EVI) in the areas of special state concern..” Context: - Slow reconstruction processes, unresolved property issues, poor job opportunities and citizenship rights in the area of return. - Too many persons where unable to cope with the prevailing social / economical situation. Humanitarian aid is being distributed and considered necessary for extremely vulnerable particularly in the remote areas. Also in cities like Knin, large quantities of food parcels are being distributed 3 times per week. It is hard to assess how dependent recipients are on food parcels. Calls for “teach me how to fish, rather than give me fish” have been heard during the evaluation mission, though particularly made by distributing agencies on behalf of beneficiaries. Food parcel distribution is an important complementary input in the nutritional basket, important for those who have little resources due to low or non-income, but it keeps on sustaining a dependency. The objective of the programme has undoubtedly been achieved through it’s implementation, realising though that the Red Cross, by nature, focuses on needs alleviating among the most vulnerable in the Society. Beneficiaries that require NGO support in income generating activities, and with that become more self-sustainable, are to a lesser extent beneficiaries of the Croatian Red Cross Community Support programme. The Red Cross, in this matter targets mainly, but not exclusively, beneficiaries who are too frail to qualify for income generating projects, as per the criteria agreed upon.
