    Caritas Internationalis Annual Report 2011 Caritas Internationalis is a global confederation of 164 Catholic organisations under the umbrella of the Holy See, which responds to humanitarian disasters, promotes integral human development and lobbies on the causes of poverty and violence. Inspired by Christian faith and gospel values, Caritas works in most of the world’s countries with the poor and oppressed, vulnerable and excluded, regardless of race or religion. It promotes just and fraternal societies where the dignity of every human being is enhanced. Depending on the size of the Catholic community and the will of their bishops’ conference, Caritas national members range from small entities to some of the world’s largest social, humanitarian and development organisations. Combined, they have over a million staff and volunteers. Caritas Internationalis has a General Secretariat in Rome, which coordinates the confederation’s response to major humanitarian emergencies, supports members and advocates on their behalf for a better world, based on justice, compassion and fraternity. Caritas Internationalis also has delegations in New York and Geneva representing the confederation at the United Nations. The Caritas delegations work with other international institutions and nongovernmental organisations and in close association with the Permanent Missions of the Holy See. Caritas Internationalis is made up of seven regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, North America and Oceania. 2 Caritas Internationalis Annual Report 2011 Contents 4 One Human Family, Zero Poverty By Cardinal Óscar Rodríguez Maradiaga, President 5 Introduction By Michel Roy, Secretary General 6 60th anniversary and the General Assembly: Caritas looking back, moving forward 10 Emergencies: Compassion in action 18 Advocacy: A voice for change 24 Building the confederation 26 Summary of Emergency Appeals 2011 30 Financial information Front Cover: Caritas supports a water project in this Kenyan South Sudan becomes village after a independent.

  • Our Commitments to Strengthen Localisation and Partnership in Humanitarian Action
    OUR COMMITMENTS TO STRENGTHEN LOCALISATION AND PARTNERSHIP IN HUMANITARIAN ACTION Democratic Republic of Congo - Isabel Corthier/Caritas INTRODUCTION Caritas Internationalis is a confederation of 165 national Caritas organisations1, working in more than 200 countries and territories all over the world. Each Caritas is established by and accountable to the national Catholic bishops’ conference, and is an independent national entity. Each national Caritas has sub-national/territorial structures at the diocesan and parish level2 working with and supporting communities in promoting integral human development, including humanitarian assistance in a crisis. The Grand Bargain Commitment to Localisation, More support and tools to national and local actors3 is an affirmation and acceptance of the principle of fraternal cooperation and partnership, at the heart of Caritas. The localisation agenda is an opportunity for the confederation to renew and improve already existing collective commitments to partnership. “The localisation agenda may be an approval and acceptance of our traditional partnership principle and may serve as an impetus to continue and widen the principle of partnership. A localised response is deeply rooted in our organisational DNA.” Caritas organisation operating internationally Prior to the World Humanitarian Summit, Caritas Internationalis published a position paper4, outlining its humanitarian commitments with specific reference to the importance of localisation. The paper affirmed that: • Caritas organisations will continue to strengthen the model of local/international cooperation and partnership in humanitarian response – subsidiarity in action. • Caritas’ commitment to reducing the impact of humanitarian crises by enhancing disaster preparedness and response is set out in its Strategic Framework. • Caritas will continue to support Catholic Church leaders in order to engage on conflict and promote inter-faith collaboration where it can increase protection of people.
