  • The Interaction Between Conflict and Natural Disasters 2 Sustainable
    Oxfam Novib Network nr 3 June 2009 Dear partner, This time Network kicks off with an article on an effective combination of disaster and conflict reduction programmes. There is also attention for the ever-bigger role of women in Arab countries. Alongside, captured in pictures, a unique public enquiry on climate change in Malawi. Furthermore, the state of affairs in the cocoa chain, a report of a performance by De Groene Bende, and much more in this Oxfam Novib Network. Contents: The interaction between conflict and natural disasters 2 Sustainable cocoa chain in sight 4 Cash grants as relief intervention 5 Dreams of Arab Women's NGOs 6 Poor people in Malawi raise their voice 8 Who benefits from private health care? 9 Building Oxfam Mexico 11 Free from Oxfam GB 12 Climate change demands aid reform 13 Promising festival season 14 Oxfam Novib is a member of Oxfam International The interaction between conflict and natural disasters There are many communities in the world that face both the risk of conflict and the risk of natural disasters. However, Disaster Risk Reduction programmes give hardly any attention to conflict and One-sided focus on either disaster risk reduction or Conflict Transformation programmes conflict prevention simplifies local realities. rarely refer to disaster risks and how these interact with (renewed) conflict or its solutions. There is a need to combine approaches. Examples show that the risks of disaster and conflict impact on each other: flooding can cause renewed conflict, conflict over resources can block initiatives for disaster prevention, or awareness about disaster risks can form the common interest around which conflicting parties come together.
