The aim of this research is to pry into the decision making process of five Icelandic NGOs when applying for such funds and the ethical implications of those decisions. The NGOs are The Red Cross, The Church Aid, SOS Children’s Villages, Save the Children and ABC Children’s Aid. Explored are the NGOs’ connections with INGOs, their Codes of Conduct, their relations with the MFA and the factors that influence their selection of projects. The research is primarily based on interviews with NGO employees. While there is much variety in the NGOs practices, they have a common ambition for the advancement of their humanitarian efforts. The NGOs appear prone to apply for funds if emergencies occur close to their own projects, are in the MFAs focus areas, are emphasised by their INGO contacts, are considered extensive by the NGOs and if they believe their expertise is of use.

  • Red Cross in the EU
    A profile of the Red Cross in the EU Facts and Figures 2003 A Profile of the Red Cross in the European Union (EU) Facts and Figures In the EU, the Red Cross network represents over one million volunteers, employs 110,000 people and has over a thousand staff working internationally. Although each National Society belongs to a different social, political and cultural system and performs different tasks, all share the same basic unifying principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. In the EU, the Red Cross is a major provider of social and emergency services and a partner in policy discussions pertaining to humanitarian issues both within and outside the EU. Since 1983, the National Red Cross Societies of the EU, together with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, have established a representation and liaising office in Brussels, in order to facilitate cooperation between the EU National Societies and to bring the grass roots experience to the attention of the European institutions. This publication presents a profile of the 15 EU National Societies: their structure and main activities and their common interests within the EU context. It does not claim to be exhaustive. Realities, facts and figures change from day-to-day and we will update these profiles on a regular basis. The many challenges that lie ahead include the preoccupation of the Red Cross of how best to serve the most vulnerable in an ever changing environment; and the importance of its specific mandate and role within society being recognized by both national authorities and the EU Institutions.

  • Covid-19 and the Impact on Migrants
    Briefing Note COVID-19 AND THE IMPACT ON MIGRANTS Summary The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted a large proportion of the world’s population. While everyone is affected to some degree, some groups are particularly vulnerable, both to the disease itself and to its secondary social and economic impacts. Although they face the same risks in terms of health threats from COVID-19 as the rest of the population, migrants are in a particular situation that severely compounds their vulnerability in such context. Migrants are particularly exposed to the health impact of COVID-19. Migrants, like host communities, need access to screening, testing, treatment, and eventual vaccination for COVID-19. Yet, many are unable to comply with preventative measures necessary to keep healthy and stay safe and experience significant challenges in accessing appropriate care when falling ill. Undocumented/irregular migrants, in particular, may not seek testing or treatment for COVID-19 for fear of being detected. The circumstances of their journeys, living or working conditions and lack of effective access to essential services make them particularly vulnerable. The economic repercussions of lockdown measures disproportionally and negatively impact migrants, who are often working in precarious situations. Many migrants have suffered a loss of income due to business downsizing or been deprived of their source of income, while at the same time remaining outside mainstream or formal protection and safeguarding measures. As such, migrants are particularly at risks of being pushed into more vulnerable or exploitative situations, or to resort to negative coping strategies. Most critically, migrants often encounter a broad range of practical and legal obstacle in accessing basic services, i.e.
