We use modern scientific findings and methods and simultaneously respect the knowledge, experience and traditions of people in the respective countries. Our work is therefore characterised by creativity and constant willingness to learn and innovate.

We treat others with respect and appreciation. We enable our staff to achieve a work-life balance. This is particularly true of members of staff who overcome special challenges and take personal risks, for example, in crisis regions.

We keep our promises. Transparency and reliability are important cornerstones of our work – with regards to partners, the general public, donors and providers of public grants. We know that without our supporters, we would not be able to work successfully. It is to them that we owe our special thanks.

aily activities – committed and professional

We work in partnership with others. Our activities are geared towards the goals and needs of people in the South and D towards the desire for global justice. We encourage our partners to assert their rights. We help them reconstruct their skills and abilities.

We work in a requirement-oriented and situation-appropriate way. We help people in acute need, when regions are affected by hunger or other disasters. When their most immediate requirements are satisfied, we help them rehabilitate and develop their region in a sustainable way.

Effective and motivating PR is important for our work. It enables us to make our work transparent and bring together more closely people in Germany and developing countries.

We are politically independent and non-denominational and we cooperate in strategic alliances. We work all over the world with players who have similar goals. This enables us to pool our resources, but also achieve a greater impact with the means that are available to us. We ensure maximum (financial) independence from external dictates for our work. We take advantage of this independence by engaging in a constructive dialogue with politicians and businesses.

Important partners whose trust we value, are our public donors. We welcome the close programmatic cooperation of governmental and non-governmental organisations whenever they share the same goals.

We raise our voice wherever we can help remedy situations on the basis of our project work and experience, our history and convictions. We see ourselves as the advocates of those whose rights and dignity are compromised.

These experiences confirm that food of the projects which was developed at that time and which is security and crisis prevention will also remain Welthungerhilfe’s still operationable today. focus over the next few years.

India is also a particularly good place to study the future of Sincerely, development cooperation. Welthungerhilfe’s Country Director in India is an Indian lady. It was never correct to assume that Europeans or Americans were planning and implementing development projects alone. Success requires local “ownership”; the active role of local civil society organisations and partners. Local staff are also playing an increasing role in assuming positions of responsibility, right up to the highest management levels.

India is at the forefront as far as “advocacy” is concerned, i.e. Dr. Wolfgang Jamann speaking up for the poor. Local organisations participate in shap- Secretary General ing policy; in this, they are supported by international aid agen- Chief Executive Board cies such as Welthungerhilfe. Similarly, the population in the project areas can also demand their rights from local administrative bodies. For example, India has a government programme for the establishment of health centres for malnourished children. Welthungerhilfe and its local partner organisations put pressure on government agencies to put this programme into action.

On another continent, a disaster was successfully prevented during the course of the past year. Unfortunately such good news rarely makes its way into media reports. As early as 1968, Niger’s president Hamani Diori said: “Rich countries are not bothered by their conscience until they read horror reports about us.” That was the case in East Africa in 2011: The international community only reacted once they saw pictures of starving children and dying animals. By that time, between 50,000 and 100,000 people had already died; more than half of them children under the age of five. Luckily, things were different in the Sahel zone last year.

5 2012 ANNIVERSARY We look Ahead

2012 saw Welthungerhilfe celebrate its 50th birthday. Great numbers of people have invested their hearts and souls into the organisation and its work over these five decades. This has not changed. Along with our supporters, we continue to fight for a common goal: the right for people to lead their lives autonomously in dignity and justice – free from hunger and poverty

Our anniversary year ended in December 2012 with a day of cel- On the occasion of our birthday, we asked lots of people for their ebrations in Berlin.

Because and to win over new supporters for the common goal of a world we know: it is possible!” Driven by the desire to meet this objec- without hunger and poverty; in our field, in other areas, and tive long before our 100th anniversary, we took the opportunity particularly with the young generation. of this anniversary to focus on fundamental issues rather than to celebrate the successes of our work to date. Orientation for this was provided by the vision which drives us: a world in which We can’t do it without our partners all people can exercise their right to lead a self-determined life Whether it concerns the development of new ideas for our work in dignity and justice – free from hunger and poverty. Our focus abroad, or finding ways to create excitement among more people was on the future: What can we do better? What are the new for development cooperation: We could not do it without direct challenges? How can the gap between the rich and the poor be communication with our partners in Germany and abroad. After overcome? What type of spirit is needed in our society to bring fifty years, we know more than ever that we must work together about fundamental change in the search for ways to abolish to achieve great things. Meeting others was one of the guiding hunger and poverty? How can we enthuse people about develop- themes during our anniversary year. ment work? In this context, the international seminar “Move! United for Sus- tainable Development”, which was held in the spring, became a meeting place for outstanding international experts on sustainable development, together with more than 40 representatives from our local partner organisations. The seminar consisted of a civil society dialogue, supported by the City of Bonn with a grant from the European Fund for Regional Development. The driving issue was how social justice and sustainable development can really be achieved. What types of political activities are required here in the North to achieve this objective? And how can it be achieved in our projects in the South in cooperation with our international partners? The year 2012 was also an anniversary year for many of our international partners, and they used this occasion to reflect on a common future.

The illustrated book “Es ist möglich! Vor- bilder für eine bessere Welt – 27 Porträts“ (It is possible! Role models for a better world – 27 portraits), which was published in autumn in cooperation with the Knesebeck publishers, shows with the stories of people in Africa, Asia and Latin America connected with Welthungerhilfe, the very spirit which we share: Together we can do it.

It is fun to fight for a common goal! Our birthday wish was to bring the fight against poverty and hunger to the heart of society. The newly-formed think tank event series “Searchers Unlimited” brought new synergies and ideas for a sustainable future. At the beginning of the year, globally- lished “Searchers”, thinking, inspiring and committed personalities from industry, who share our conviction science, culture and society discussed ideas that can be used to that it makes sense to adapt these make Welthungerhilfe’s activities even more effective.

7 Reconstruction in Haiti Persistence is Paying off

Haiti is the poorest country on the American continent. People are fighting for their livelihoods, as the country is repeatedly hit by disasters such as earthquakes, floods and droughts. In addition, the country has also been torn apart by internal political and social conflict. Welthungerhilfe has been supporting people in Haiti since 1974, mainly in the areas of rural development, construction of basic infrastructure and disaster protection. The 2010 earthquake was a traumatic experience for the people in Haiti, and its subsequent effects are still noticeable today. Right after the earthquake, Welthungerhilfe reorganised its activities in the entire country and began a five-year reconstruction programme that includes both the earthquake areas in the South and the project regions in the North.

Initial situation The project region in northwest Haiti is difficult to access and is characterised by considerable dryness and bare hillsides. Many farmer families still live in great poverty. There are repeated occurrences of natural disasters, such as the 2012 drought. The rainy season started very late, putting the entire Ha- itian harvest at risk. In the South, the situation was made more difficult by the two hurricanes Isaac and Sandy, which caused considerable damage. This was particularly devastating for those affected, as most of them are still dealing with the effects of the earthquake.

Measures and impact Long-term oriented activities are required to achieve a sustainable impact in this difficult situation. In Jean Rabel, the work of past years in the areas of irrigation systems and resource protection was continued in 2012. The great progress achieved in this area is confirmed by a study that evaluates Welthungerhilfe‘s work on location during the last ten years. Just a few years ago, people in Jean Rabel regularly had to deal with periods of hunger after droughts, hurricanes and floods. Now, those that are part of the programme are doing better: The agricultural yields of these farmers have increased greatly. They now harvest up to 200 percent more vegetables as well as basic food- stuffs, such as maize, bananas and beans. This was accomplished as a result of the new irrigation systems: They make it possible to farm the fields even during dry periods, meaning that crops can now be planted throughout the year. In addition, in past years Welthungerhilfe also repeatedly provided immediate aid after disasters. This helped farmer families to manage through a crisis without losing what they had already built before. This combination of long-term support and immediate aid has resulted in better food security for these families, which has subsequently benefitted the entire northwest region. Most people used to leave the region because they were not able to earn a living in Jean Rabel; but now many are staying because the situation has improved. Things are even looking up in the regions in the South of the country, which were hit by the earthquake. More houses, roads and schools were reconstructed in 2012. Now many earthquake victims finally have a roof over their heads again, children have returned to school and the way to the next market is not as difficult as before. Houses and schools have been built to resist earthquakes and

In addition, people are also prepared for the next disasters. The rescue units, which were formed in 2011, received additional training last year in cooperation with the Haitian Disaster Protec- tion Organisation. Emergency plans were also developed with the communities. The disaster protection committees in the South were already put into action during the 2012 hurricane season. Thanks to the newly developed hurricane early warning system, the committees were able to recognise the danger posed by Hurricane Isaac, and subsequently warned the population and evacuated vulnerable areas. This saved many lives.

Planning and Risks In the North, there are still many farmers whose fields are not yet irrigated. As a result, Welthunger- hilfe will continue its programme that includes the expansion of smaller irrigation systems. In the South, reconstruction activities continue. Special emergency aid programmes support the farmer families affected by the hurricanes to manage the hunger period and secure the next harvest. Of particular concern to Welthungerhilfe is the ability to work jointly with Haitians to find solutions that are suited to improve their living conditions over the long term. Therefore Welthungerhilfe strongly advocates the strengthening of civil society. In this vein, both Haitian non-governmental organisations as well as cooperatives will be supported in the future. The strengthening of people‘s self-initiative plays a role in ensuring that Haitians become stakeholders in their own development beyond the scope of permanent disasters.

How dry earth was turned into fertile soil Lesperence Fedner (49), Welthungerhilfe Head of Project, has good memories of the year 2012. It was a good year for the people in Jean Rabel in north-western Haiti. As happens almost every year, there was another extended dry period in 2012. Not a drop of rain in six months. “People still managed quite well during this time. They were able to feed themselves,” says Fedner. He has been working in Jean Rabel on behalf of Welt- hungerhilfe since 1989. There are few jobs in this remote part of the country, and most men and women live off agriculture. This sparse region is often referred to as “Haiti’s poor house”. Through his work for Welthungerhilfe, the 49-year-old now plays a role in ensuring that the people here are doing a little better every year. Fedner has specialised in the technical areas of economy and rural development. Together with his colleagues, he has been working on several small refined irrigation systems for ten years – this work is completed gradually, throughout the entire region. In this context, spring water that emerges at the upper end of the hillsides is transported down to the valley via channels in the fields. “Now fields can be irrigated throughout the entire year,” explains Fedner. A great step: Before the irrigation systems, water made its way down the valley in small creeks and subsequently entered the sea without being used, while dust was building up on the fields during the dry months. “People had nothing to eat, there was great hunger. Welthungerhilfe had to repeatedly distribute food to the hungry,” Fedner remembers. This situation has improved over the past few years; and because there is enough water, it is also possible to grow vegetables and fruits even during dry periods. The small farmers can live off these products and also supply them to local markets. “Now you even see carrots and tomatoes in Jean Rabel,” says a pleased Fedner. This was inconceivable even just a few years ago, as these vegetable varieties cannot thrive in dry soil without regular irrigation.

It`s a question of impact To ensure that the projects achieve the desired outcome and impact, Welthungerhilfe works together with local people to develop so-called “results chains”. The excerpt shown below provides a simplified, example illustration of the connection between agricultural support and the improvement in the food situation, for example. Welthungerhilfe supports this results chain during the monitoring process. In addition to the question “Are we doing things well and efficiently?”, outcome and impact-oriented monitoring also demon- strates at an early stage whether the measures that are being implemented are really contributing to improving the living situation of local people. (Additional details regarding the issue “outcome and impact” can be found on pages 30/31)

This is the fourth time in ten years that the Sahel region has been hit by a severe drought. The example of Mali can be used to highlight the challenges faced by people during and after the drought, and how Welthungerhilfe worked in the region during that time.

Initial situation As a result of months of drought in the previous year, fields in Mali did not produce any fruit, vegetables or grain in 2012. People were forced to use almost all of their stocks and savings, and farmers had to kill their animals. More than four million people in Mali, along with 7.5 million people in neighbouring Sahel states, were affected, and more than 660,000 children are still malnourished today. In addition, Mali has been the scene of fighting since the beginning of 2012: Armed rebels occupied the northern part of the country and attempted to push into the country‘s interior. More than 410,000 people fled the drought and armed conflict.

Measures and impact Welthungerhilfe has a good local network and it really proved its worth during the last drought period: Welthungerhilfe‘s partner organisations advised of the coming drought as early as in autumn 2011. Together with other organisations, Welthungerhilfe informed the Mali government, along with German and international donors, of the drought; and with success, as additional funds were made available for the drought victims. This enabled Welthungerhilfe to help almost a million people with food, agricultural implements and seed. Hence the existing early warning systems, which were implemented by Welthungerhilfe with its partners, proved effective in 2012: The worst effects were mitigated and lives were saved within a short time period, because relief items were able to reach people in a timely manner.

Planning and risks The drought of 2012 will not be the last. Welthungerhilfe will support the population in preparing for the next dry season. The strengthening of the population‘s resistance is of particular importance in this regard. To this end, small animals such as chickens will be given to selected families and village committees. In the future, many people will be able to live off the breeding and marketing

In addition, the farmers will also receive more robust seed, which does not spoil in high temperatures; and they will receive training on how to farm their fields with as little water as possible. The drought victims of 2012 still require support this year. Many of them are malnourished. Children receive nutritional supplements, and mothers will have access to nutritional counselling. There, they can learn how to feed healthy food to their children over the long term. At the same time, Welthungerhilfe‘s success will depend on the development of the political situation. There may be additional unrest due to the international military presence or in connection with the elec- tions that are planned for mid-2013.

Just twenty years ago, Zimbabwe was an up-and-coming state, but since 2000 the country has been decli- ning as a result of mismanagement. Water supply networks are breaking down, and the government healthcare system has collapsed. This development has had dramatic effects: One sad highlight was a cholera epidemic in 2008 and 2009. More than 130,000 people were infected at that time, and over 6,000 died. Welthunger- hilfe has been active in Zimbabwe since 1980, mainly in the areas of agriculture and the water sector, which also includes the fight against cholera.

Initial situation Clean water was hard to come by in Zimbabwe in 2008 and 2009, as the city‘s waste water systems were defective and there were hardly any latrines – perfect conditions for the cholera bacteria. In 2012, some three years later, the lesson has been learnt. Health programmes that raise awareness of cholera have been created. Public toilets have been built and defective water and waste water lines have been repaired. Now there are basic sanitary services, certain hygiene standards, and the experts in the health system know how to treat cholera. Thanks to the new structures for fighting cholera, there are fewer cases. Still, the disease rears its ugly head every now and then.

Measures and impact The most important objective is to identify cholera outbreaks early and to fight them rigorously. To support the people in Zimbabwe in this endeavour, the „Environment Health Alliance“ (EHA) was created in 2011 under the leadership of Welthungerhilfe. This emergency unit consists of an alliance between eight organisations and national partners. In 2012, the alliance supported the Zimbabwean government in the development of crisis and disaster plans and in the setting up of early warning systems. The EHA repairs and establishes water supply systems in schools and clinics, and builds toilets and wash basins across the entire country. As part of the awareness-raising campaigns, people can find out how they can prevent cholera – for example by washing their hands and by drinking dis- infected water. In 2012, the EHA’s measures covered around 230,000 people at risk. Cholera cases declined in all regions in which the EHA is active. Across the country, Welthungerhilfe contributes to basic sanitary supplies. Now Zimbabwe is much better equipped to address future cholera outbreaks.

Planning and risks It is too early to give the all-clear on cholera: It will still be years until Zimbabwe will have sufficient clean water, sanitary infrastructure and hygiene facilities throughout the country. Until that time, and afterwards, it is important that the emergency unit EHA continues its work. However, the EHA‘s work is increasingly being taken over by national institutions. Zimbabwe must be able to win the war against cholera with its own resources. On the other hand, Welthungerhilfe will continue its commitment to the reconstruction and establishment of water and sanitary infrastructure. Welthunger- hilfe plans to secure the provision of sanitary supplies in approximately 1,000 villages and 150 schools by 2016 as part of a multi-year programme.

An almost 50-year period of military dictatorship and civil war has prevented progress being made in Myanmar. Things have only been improving since March 2011 following the government‘s change in policy. There is much to do: Thirty-two percent of the population lives in absolute poverty. Welthungerhilfe supports the people of the county of Htan Tabin on their way to a better future.

Initial situation Htan Tabin is located in southern Myanmar, only 20 km from the metropolis of Yangon. Despite its proximity to the metropolis, this region, which is home to 140,000 people, is not very developed: The road and street network is poor and there are few opportunities to earn a living outside of agriculture. Most of the population makes its income from rice cultivation; but only a third of the population owns their own rice fields. The remainder work as helpers in agriculture, as casual labourers or as travelling hawkers. These jobs are often underpaid, causing many families to take out loans from local lenders at excessive interest rates. Bad harvests, an inability to work and illness frequently make it impossible to repay the loans. It is a cycle of poverty.

Measures and impact All of Welthungerhilfe‘s activities in Htan Tabin focus on increasing the capacity of the people to help themselves; mainly through the establishment of village committees. In 23 committees, people plan how their communities should develop and what should be built where. For example, numerous repairs have made many roads and bridges around Htan Tabin accessible throughout the year again. Training courses help to ensure that there is more work for everyone – women are learning to sew; men are training as mechanics and electricians. The village committees are also addressing the issue of massive debt. They form village development funds that are used to build up capital on a cooperative basis. In 2012, 27 newly created savings and loan groups provided competitive loans to approximately 400 members. Family savings are no longer lining the pockets of loan sharks, and the financial situation of many families has improved. The construction of schools and roads has contributed to more children going to school, as routes are now shorter and safer. The self-help approach is also bearing fruit as people in Htan Tabin are now developing creative ideas to improve their situation. Lots of small shops are being opened, for example. Either way, the training courses and more favourable loan terms have given people the courage to try new things.

Planning and risks The commitment of the people in Htan Tabin is also needed in 2013. A new school is to be built, and roads and irrigation channels are to be constructed over several kilometres. This will benefit a total of 3,000 people. It will then be up to the people to maintain their newly found self-help capacity. Thanks to their newly created village and administration structures, the people in Htan Tabin will have a permanent way to make their voices heard – and thus will contribute to the further democratisation of Myanmar.

1,503 small loans were approved.

Village stores instead of debt trap Khin Aye has seen a lot in her life. The mother of four is 57 years old and a widow, after her husband passed away suddenly three years ago. With the grief came financial worries: ”I was not able to do much, and had to take out a EUR 100 loan at 20 percent interest per month from money lenders,“ says the petite woman. She sold cooked beans in the village to provide the most urgently needed food for her family. Instead of studying to be an electrician, her youngest son Than Zin Oo had to work as an unskilled labourer for EUR 30 a month. ”I could hardly sleep at the time, because my situation seemed so hopeless,“ says the 57 year old. A short time afterwards, Welthungerhilfe came to the village and offered vocational training courses. This gave Zin Oo the opportunity to learn how to maintain industrial sewing machines and to get a better paid position; now he makes EUR 80 a month. In the meantime, his mother obtained another loan for EUR 30 through the village fund for income-generating measures, which was set up by Welthungerhilfe. This has allowed her to expand her cooked beans business. Working together, they managed to pay off the high-interest debt from the money lender within one year. Khin Aye has been saving one euro a week since becoming a member of the self-help group. Now she receives a loan at favourable interest rates from the group. „I want to use it to fix the roof of my hut before the rainy season,“ she says proudly. She is no longer worried about the loan as the terms have been adjusted to her situation. And she has yet more plans: ”I would like to have a small store.“ It is a long and slow journey, but Khin Aye can smile again; the beginning for a life full of plans has been made.

www.welthungerhilfe.de/myanmar 17 Political work tHe poor are paying the price for our biofuels

Welthungerhilfe is working for a world without hunger and poverty – and not just in its project countries. The organisation also raises its voice when political decisions have a negative impact on the rights of the poor. The problematic connection between biofuels and hunger is one example of how Welthungerhilfe is continuing to raise awareness of a problem amongst politicians as well as to suggest adaptation measures over a period of many years. Numerous discussions with politicians, discussion rounds and pleas have resulted in initial successes.

It is the end of April in Germany: Everywhere you look there are yellow fields full of blooming rapeseed, which is now grown on more than ten percent of the cultivated area. Over the last 20 years, rapeseed has become Germany’s most important oilseed crop. Rapeseed is used to make food products, cooking oils, oils for technical use and, of course, biodiesel. The fact that our agricultural areas are increasingly characterised by monocultures such as rapeseed and maize is mainly due to the decision made by the European Union (EU) to generate more energy from renewable sources in the future. The aim is to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and to protect the climate. In principle, such energy policies are a welcome development from the point of view of development politics and aid agencies such as Welthungerhilfe. The production of bio-energy can have positive side effects on developing countries. For one, the EU has a smaller agricultural surplus, which is sold to poorer countries at dumping prices, making small local agricultural operations unprofitable. In addition, these farmers can also be included in the production of energy plants and thus develop new income options. Similarly, the contribution to climate protection also helps the poor – they are particularly hard hit by the effects of climate change, even though they themselves did not cause it. However, these positive effects have been rarely seen to date. Instead, the increasing use of biofuels has led to a situation where rapidly rising prices mean that the poor can hardly afford to buy food; where small farmers are displaced from their land; and where climate change is promoted rather than reduced thanks to the inappropriate cultivation methods for energy plants. This is the reason why Welthungerhilfe was particularly active in this political field in 2012, as the causes behind this situation can also be found in political decisions that do not take global consequences into account: The introduction of high blending rates means that our domestic agricultural sector is no longer able to meet the demand for biofuels. Every second litre of bio-ethanol which is added to our E10 fuel must be imported.

Political demands During the course of the food price crisis in 2008, the number of people going hungry increased from less than 850 million to more than 1 billion people in a short space of time. Even then, Welthunger- hilfe and other non-governmental organisations, along with scientists, advised of the effects that the biofuel policies of industrial and emerging economies have on the poor: At that time, biofuel targets also contributed to the explosion in food prices, in addition to other factors. As a result, Welthungerhilfe also asked for a moratorium on the blending of biofuels as part of a ten point plan. In addition, the organisation has for years pointed to the necessity of more political coher-

This amount of maize is enough to feed one person for one year.

Rapeseed is Germany’s most important oilseed plant, and is grown on 10 percent of the cultivated area.

ence between the development cooperation, energy, environment and agricultural sectors. Partner organisations from the Welthungerhilfe project regions, such as Sierra Leone, held discussions with members of the Bundestag and ministry representatives about the related land use amendments and land seizures. It is clear that, in many locations, the cultivation of energy crops undermines the United Nation’s objectives for the fight against poverty and hunger.

Global responsibility Step by step, more and more political actors have become increasingly aware that Germany and the EU must take responsibility for the impact that their policies have beyond their own borders if they want to maintain the human right to food: A duty of care exists particularly with regard to the use of land and water in hunger regions. The debate surrounding biofuel policies gained steam in September 2012: In view of high food prices and a difficult global food situation, the Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development demanded a stop to the sale of E10 biofuel. Welthungerhilfe used this situation to make its position heard. It called for immediate action by politicians in its own publications, in discussions with members of the Bundestag, in interviews and at a press conference in Berlin. Four years after the food price crisis, the political tide has shifted: The EU wants to limit the proportion of food crops in fuel production to five percent – a clear signal to EU countries that the right to food takes precedence over the use of biomass. Similarly, actors in private industry have also recognised that their investments will only be successful in the long term if they produce and procure biomass in accordance with social sustainability criteria; a partial success of Welthungerhilfe’s demand of “Erst der Teller, dann der Tank!” (First the plate, then the tank). The biofuel policy is one of the building blocks that industrial nations require to manage the transition from a fossil fuel age to an environmentally sound and bio-based economy. In the future, more and more renewable resources will be used for transportation, for heating and electricity, and for material usage. This increases the pressure on globally available agricultural and forest areas, which must also produce sufficient amounts of food and feed. Hence the following applies: Climate protection and energy transition cannot be undertaken at the expense of the poor. What is required is the best possible balance between food security, poverty alleviation and biomass use. Together with its partners in developing countries, Welthungerhilfe is working towards achieving this balance.

Welthungerhilfe‘s marketing activities pursue two central objectives: to mobilise as many people as possible for an active commitment to the fight for a world without hunger – while at the same time advertising for donations that make the organisation‘s work possible.

Mobilisation in the fight against hunger – donor groups. Numerous hours of dedicated work saw Welthun- Every hour counts gerhilfe’s donation clock tick faster and faster, and the German- wide campaign chart on the website become fuller and fuller; A number of different measures are used to mobilise people in hours that document the courage and willingness of people to do Germany: advertisements, posters, TV presence, mailings and great things.

But in Welthungerhilfe’s anniversary year, the organisation wanted to place new accents and create excitement for its work among as many people as possible and to mobilise them to offer www.welthungerhilfe.de/1stunde.html their support. To this end, the creative talent at Welthungerhilfe came up with a very special idea: the donation campaign “1 Hour Against Hunger”, which turns this commitment into an experience. Twice a year, Frank Hölscher, the manager of the lost property Mobilising all of Germany office at Düsseldorfer Rheinbahn AG, auctions off abandoned Hunger – day in and day out, for weeks and years – we can hardly umbrellas, rucksacks and mobile phones found on buses and trains.

Welthungerhilfe has been est amount collected at our auctions over the last two years!” engaged in a successful fight against hunger for over 50 years. Every hour counts – and it was precisely this central aspect that motivated Welthungerhilfe to create a special campaign during its anniversary year: “1 Hour Against Hunger” The campaign mobilises all of Germany to donate the income from one hour of work. And donations are not just made by clicking on the online donation form; but also through different activities that raise awareness, thought-up by the participants themselves. Children and adults, individuals or teams from schools and clubs, or even an entire company – everyone is challenged to let their imagina- tion fly with regard to their personal commitment. Over 150,000 participants have already made an important contribution with 160 great activities – and have set the stage for motivating new supporters to get involved. These are often touching experiences which the campaign uses to connect people to work together with solidarity. One thing is clear: Young or old, large campaign or small gesture – the joy of helping others is infectious and can be used to motivate new

“They don’t want beer, they want to donate,” says a happy Michaela May, who played the part of a waitress during the Lohrer Festival. For one day, the actress carried chicken and beer steins through the jubilant crowds on behalf of the Lohrer Housewives action group.

The action group “Bekond aktiv gegen den Hunger e.V.” (Bekond action against hunger) also showed that helping can be fun. The 135 runners at the traditional Zitronenkrämerlauf (lemon shop run) could hardly wait to get going. This campaign was started by ini- tiator Kaspar Portz. Marathon professional Dietmar Bier came all the way from Trier for a good cause: “I think this campaign is great. I have thought about why I am doing this. My objective: to run for the fight against hunger.”

Moderator Jörg Pilawa visited the Offenburg shot put competition in the summer. He gave it his all against Olympian champions David Storl and Christina Obergföll as well as 250 local athletes, and thus did his bit to encourage donations.

A January Green Week What would it feel like if a loaf of bread cost € 29.95 or five kilos of potatoes cost € 49.95? At the Association for the Promotion of Sustainable Agriculture’s adventure farm, a Welthungerhilfe „market stall“ demonstrated the effects of high food prices in developing countries. Meanwhile, the water obstacle course at the Federal Associa- tion of the Food Industry’s stand saw Agriculture Minister Ilse Aigner take part alongside 3,000 F children. At the end of Green Week, Welthunger- hilfe President Bärbel Dieckmann expressed her delight with the € 30,000 worth of donations. A B May Fair Play Tour Over 300 participants put their pedal to the metal for one week, cycling 800 kilometres through Ger- many, Luxembourg, France and Belgium. Along A their travels, they collected donations for a school in Rwanda. In August, a small group travelled to Rwanda to visit projects funded by the campaign. I June C Choral Fest Almost 8,000 people sang „Imagine“ for Welt- hungerhilfe at the Choral Fest in Frankfurt. Before the start of the song, participants were able to donate five euros by SMS. In addition, Welthun- gerhilfe also received € 3,500 in donations from the singing supporters. B

27 Compliance integrity culture AT Welthungerhilfe

Integrity, credibility and correctness form an indispensable basis for the Welthungerhilfe’s work. In modern companies, these are typically warranted through the establishment of a compliance management system. It is used to prevent damages and to limit damages through the early identification of legal breaches, and it monitors compliance with organisational obligations. Even though such a system is not mandatory for regis- tered associations such as Welthungerhilfe, the organisation has nevertheless implemented such a system in the interests of integrity and transparency.

The compliance or integrity culture of an organisation is mainly measured by the tone set by management. (“What example does the management set?”) At Welthungerhilfe, this good tone is Compliance culture reflected in procedures and documents, entries on the website and Welthungerhilfe’s regarding the issue of quality and transparency, and Welthunger- values hilfe‘s actively communicated mission and strategy. These documents also feature the main objectives of sustainable development and transparency, as well as help to self-help. the

Superordinate agreements and obligations that are incumbent on Welthunger- compliance hilfe in the area of compliance include the Venro Code of Conduct on Transparency, Organisational Management and Monitoring. It specifies a suitable framework that management allows employees to file complaints without fear of the consequences. Member organisations are required to develop the corresponding guidelines and company agree- system ments. Public donors such as the federal government or the European Union require compliance with their respective procurement directives and anti-corruption provisions as part of project work. Membership in the Humanitarian Accountability Partnership (HAP) demands transparency and accountability from Welthungerhilfe as part of this internationally recognised quality management system. Donor provisions and general codes Welthungerhilfe’s internal guidelines (codes of conduct) comprises guidelines for of conduct the prevention of conflicts of interest and corruption and guidelines for the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse of beneficiaries. Both form a binding com- ponent of employment contracts and also apply to local partners and freelance staff. In addition, there is also a binding code of practice on IT security and data protection. Internal Welthungerhilfe‘s company agreements set out the rights and obligations of staff working Welthungerhilfe in Germany. For example, whistle-blowers are protected in the company agreement on guidelines the handling of information on non-compliance with internal financial relevant issues and codes of conduct. The company agreement on working conditions also sets out the handling of gifts. For expatriate staff, it is the employment contract provisions that set out the handling of “rewards and gifts”. Local employees are also required to comply through the employment contracts and their national employment contract conditions (based on the prescribed minimum standards of the National Staff Policy).

With regard to the handling of whistle-blowers, Welthungerhilfe has opted for an e-mail based system: [email protected]. It can be used by employees and third parties. The system is managed by Internal Audit to warrant absolute confidentiality as well as a rapid and direct reporting route to head office. Internal Audit also provides advice and information in suspected cases.

Whistle-blower system Using case examples, the audit department also provides employees with training on anti-corruption and compliance issues as part of face-to-face instruction. A training video has been prepared for national employees working abroad: It analyses possible everyday situations in the projects, identifies possible solutions and trains awareness of injustice. The KnowledgeXchange unit is responsible for advisory services and training in all other Training and areas. Welthungerhilfe also works with the “Handbook for Welthungerhilfe‘s Project Work” handbooks and “Preventing Corruption in Humanitarian Operations” handbooks from Transparency International, which are available at all overseas offices.

Risk Controlling inspects the compliance-relevant segments of the public image, programmes and projects, suspicion of fraud and corrupt behaviour, as well as the procurement and labour segments. Welthungerhilfe has developed its own quality management system that combines the procedures and instruments of different QM systems (e.g. Risk controlling EFQM). Seven concrete steps – from clarification of the assignment to quality workshops and quality management and evaluation – form the framework for the intended quality improvements.

Welthungerhilfe has already warranted compliance with the statutory and internal data protection guidelines as part of a compliance management system with an external data Data protection protection representative for a number of years. The representative trains employees on representative the issue of data protection and IT security, and can always be contacted in the case of specific issues.

29 Quality assurance lOng-term success is a guarantee

It is not just public and private donors who query the long-term success and possible side-effects of development projects. The people in the projects also demand good work and proof of the same – and rightly so. Welthungerhilfe uses the following instruments to ensure the quality of its projects:

Outcome and impact-based monitoring as part of project work: Welthungerhilfe already considers the outcomes and impacts of certain measures during the project planning phase. For example, the aim may not just be to construct wells; but also to reduce diarrhoea by drinking clean water. In the case of unplanned, and possibly also negative, outcomes and impacts, the possible causes are openly and jointly discussed and analysed together with the project stakeholders and locals. Outcome and impact-based monitoring helps to initiate learning processes that provide early indications of strengths, deficits or problems. It creates an important basis for implementing the required correc- tive measures. One example for outcome and impact orientation can be found in the project report on Haiti on pages 8-11.

Training and consulting: Other instruments for quality assurance and improvement include the inten- sive training of new personnel in Germany and abroad with regard to Welthungerhilfe‘s content-related and financial administration standards and the guidelines of public donors, as well as on-going training and advisory services within the programmes and projects. This also includes the development and updating of orientation frameworks, manuals and formats regarding Welthungerhilfe‘s sub-sectors of support and work processes.

Evaluations: Welthungerhilfe uses evaluations for the regular review of the content-related quality of its work; evaluations therefore form a part of technical accountability. To this end, the organisation uses independent experts that are proven authorities in their field. In addition to project evaluations, the unit at the head office commisions evaluations of country- and topic-specific programmes. Project evaluations can be commissioned mainly locally by the country and regional offices. For the purpose of warranting the required level of quality, they are bound by the standards specified by the unit. Abstracts of the evaluation reports are published on Welthungerhilfe‘s website. They also form a part of the transparency for the technical work.

Internal audits: The internal auditing department ensures that available funds are used in accordance with the statutes and that all guidelines are complied with. As such, it forms a part of the financial accountability vis-a-vis private and public donors. The audits include all areas, organisational units and activities of Welthungerhilfe in Germany and abroad.

Controlling and organisational development: Our environment is undergoing constant change. To warrant a prompt and target-oriented response, the Controlling unit assists the Executive Board in the operational and strategic management of Welthungerhilfe. In line with regular reporting, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board receive an analysis and assessment of relevant developments. These include incoming donations and public grants, as well as the amount spent on project support and administration costs. Similarly, this is also where important information is prepared for the strategic management of the organisation, and provided to the Executive Board.

Committees: The full-time Executive Board manages and is responsible for the organisation‘s business operations. The Supervisory Board and its committees monitor and review the activities of the Executive Board and ensure that the strategic guidelines are adhered to. Once a year, the representatives of Welthungerhilfe’s member organisations meet. The General Assembly agrees on the budget and approves the annual financial accounts. In this way, responsibilities have been clearly defined.

Programme Advisory Committee: The honorary Programme Advisory Committee advises Welthungerhil- fe with regard to its programme work abroad. It is directly integrated into the planning and approval processes for important projects. The members of the committee are independent experts with considerable competence in their fields. It means that current expertise can always be provided when the projects are designed. In addition, the committee also discusses issues of political and public relations activities in Germany.

The calculation of fund-raising and administrative expenditure is based on an agreement with the German Institute for Social Issues (DZI) in Berlin. In this vein, securities of € 150,000 as well as interest expenses from the discounting of long-term receivables and from the amortisation of discounts (€ 187,000) were not taken into account, since asset management activities as a whole resulted in a surplus. Project funding abroad as shown here as € 1.1 million higher than in the project list (page 26/7) since additional expenditures are included on top of the funds directly provided for the projects. The proportion of advertising and administrative costs, which declined from the previous year, is mainly due to a much better result for institutional grants, whereby expenses for project support rose and the proportion of indirect statutory expenses (advertising and administration) in total expenses declined. Welthungerhilfe receives pro bono services in a variety of areas. In 2012, these included in particular consulting services for the development of an IT strategy by McKinsey&Company as well as legal advice provided by Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP..

Income generated 2008 to 2012 (in € million) In contrast to the two previous years, the year 2012 was not marked by major disasters that would have had a significant effect on donation income. Overall, grants from donations, bequests and fines amounted to € 36.8 million. During the same time period, institutional grants increased by 28.1 percent and totalled € 107.6 million (previous year: € 84 million). Interest and other income totalled € 3.3 million (previous year: € 3.7 million), and the profit transfer of Welthungerhilfe Foundation € 0.8 million (previous year: € 0.7 million), leading to a total income of € 148.5 million. Donation income is € 11.4 million below the corresponding result of last year, which was characterised by the addition of earmarked donations. € 18.2 million was received in 2011 for the victims of the drought disaster in East Africa alone. At the same time, income from institutional grants increased by € 23.6 million, thus again reaching the level of previous years.

TOP 10 countries with the highest project support (in € million) Haiti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Mali were among the countries with the highest project support for 2012 due to the current crisis in the Sahel and the on-going reconstruction programmes after the earthquake in Haiti at the beginning of 2010 and the drought on the Horn of Africa in 2011. Sudan, Congo, Burundi, Liberia and Afghanistan have been Welthungerhilfe‘s key countries receiving support for many years, and were again among the ten countries with the highest project support in 2012. South Sudan, which was only formed in 2011, was also among Welthungerhilfe‘s key countries in terms of support for 2012. Almost 70 percent of total support goes to the ten countries with the highest project support.

Regional project support over time (in € million) Africa has been a regional focus for Welthungerhilfe‘s work for many years. Here, the project volume approved for the 20 project countries amounts to almost € 92 million. This means that almost 70 percent of all project funding was used in Africa, not least also as a result of the crises in the Sahel (2012), Horn of Africa (2011) and the Sudan. € 22.1 million, or approximately 17 percent of funds, was used to support projects in 12 countries in Asia, including a first-time project to mitigate the effects of the civil war in Syria. Thirteen percent of funds are used to finance projects in Latin America/Caribbe- an, where Welthungerhilfe works in seven countries.

Sectoral project support over time (in € million) Approximately 870 million people worldwide are malnourished, most of them living in rural areas. To counteract this situation, Welthungerhilfe has been focusing on “rural and regional development” for years. Approximately € 50 million was spent on this issue in 2012, almost the same sum as in the previous year, even though the share declined to 37 percent. Expenses for emergency response projects, which amounted to € 35.7 million or a little more than a quarter of all expenses, increased significantly compared to 2011. The crisis situations in Sudan and Sahel play a major role in this context. Pro- jects to improve basic infrastructure form another important area of support. This also includes so-called WASH measures (clean drinking water, improved hygiene practices, basic sanitation services), which play a very important part in sustainable food security. In 2012, € 27.1 million was spent on projects for improving basic infrastructure, which means that funding was doubled as compared to the previous year. In total, approximately 20 percent of all project funds were provided for this sector of support in 2012. Approximately € 20 million was spent on projects for social integration, civil society, health and other. The latter also includes projects designed to secure the quality of programme work on location.

39 Foundation Long-term commitment

Welthungerhilfe Foundation, which was established in 1998, is ideal for people wishing to enter into a long-term commitment. A common feature of all of the initiatives is that support for project work comes mainly from earnings generated by the capital. In this vein, supporters wishing to help in a sustainable and effective manner can select from several options. Dr Albert Otten, General Manager of Foundation Welthungerhilfe, responds to some of the key questions.

Welthungerhilfe has been cooperating with other organisations since the very beginning. After all, it pays to work on joint goals together: We learn from each other, compensate for each other‘s weak- nesses and save on resources. Welthungerhilfe is involved in the following initiatives, alliances, organisations and networks:

Our partner: Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli (VcA)

Established by Benjamin “Benny” Adrion in 2005, Viva con Agua supports projects in the field of drinking water, sanitation and hygiene in developing countries. In particular, this association reaches young people, raises awareness and collects donations. In 2010 it added a foundation that is supported by numerous prominent individuals. Adrion: “We view our cooperation with Welthungerhilfe as an open network. Anyone who wants to support us financially or creatively is always welcome.” www.vivaconagua.org/

www.welthungerhilfe.de/en/about-us/welthungerhilfe-profile/our-network.html 43 Outlook Addressing challenges with courage

One of the most powerful changes in the general conditions affecting the work of aid agencies in the coming years will be the economic and political shift of power in favour of the so-called emerging economies. This is accompanied by growing social inequality in many countries, increasing ecological and climate risks, and a growing shortage of resources, as well as by many violent conflicts that affect people beyond the borders of the countries in which they occur. These global challenges require Welthungerhilfe to respond in a continuous and target-oriented manner, so that it can continue to make an effective contribution in the fight against hunger and poverty in the future.

Economic developments and medium-term Focusing on our key theme of sustainable financial planning food security Welthungerhilfe again achieved solid financial growth in 2012, As part of “Strategy 2012 to 2014”, Welthungerhilfe will fur- and thus contributed to sustainable growth for the entire organi- ther increase the focus of its work on sustainable food security. sation.

Sustainable food security remains the biggest chal- lenge in the fight against hunger and poverty, not least due to changing climatic conditions.

Cooperation with partners in the South One focus area of Welthungerhilfe‘s strategy aims to intensify cooperation with partners in the South as well as with civil society in the programme countries. Many countries in the South now have numerous civil society groups and organisations that already work with Welthungerhilfe or that could cooperate in the future. On the other hand, Welthungerhilfe also continues to be active in many countries with poorly educated and repressed civil societies. This in turn means that local partner organisations can only work in very uncertain and difficult conditions. These organisations are to be supported through training projects and through human resource and organisational development.

One measure in this regard is the South-South exchange of and South, Welthungerhilfe will work to ensure that food secu- local partner organisations.

The medium-term budget shown in the table is based on experience values and expected framework conditions. Special effects, such as emergency situations caused by crises and disasters, are not included. Project support abroad will be influenced by special effects up to and including 2014, which are due to the disasters in Haiti, Pakistan and East Africa. The funds required in this respect are taken from the project funding reserve that was created for the years 2013-2014 for this purpose. * Staff costs for abroad are included in the project funding abroad item
