JAHRESBERICHT 2019 | MISSION EAST | 3 2019 ANSATZ & ERFOLGE Mission East ist eine internationale Nothilfe- und Entwicklungsorganisation. Wir helfen Menschen und Gemeinschaften, sich selbstständig aus Krisen, Armut und Marginalisierung zu befreien.

JAHRESBERICHT6 | MISSION EAST 2019 | ANNUAL | MISSION REPORT EAST 2019 | 6 VORWORT 2019 war ein weiteres Jahr, auf das wir von Mission East, unsere Partner und unsere Unterstützer*innen stolz sein können. Ein Jahr mehr leisteten Mission East und unsere engagierten Partner vor Ort Nothilfe für Gemeinschaften, die unter Konflikten und Katastrophen leiden. Ein Jahr mehr setzten wir den Aufbau der langfristigen Widerstandsfähigkeit gefährdeter Gruppen im lau- fenden Kampf gegen Armut und Marginalisierung fort. Dies ist nur durch die gemeinsame Arbeit von Unterstützer*innen, Partnern und Mitarbeiter*innen, die unglaubliche Anstrengungen unternehmen, auch Menschen unter schwie- rigsten Umständen zu erreichen, möglich. Im Jahr 2019 konnten wir unsere Arbeit auf neue Projektländer ausweiten und somit noch mehr Menschen in Not erreichen. Aufgrund der anhaltenden aku- ten Notlage haben wir mit neuen Partnern in Syrien und im Libanon Projekte begonnen. Ein weiterer Meilenstein im Jahr 2019 war die Eröffnung eines Mission East Büros in Nordkorea, das eine engere Begleitung der Projekte und eine schnellere Reaktion auf Notlagen ermöglicht. Im Irak und in Afghanistan hat Mission East in zwei ständig wechselnden Kontexten weiterhin an einem Gleichgewicht zwischen der Arbeit an langfristigen Lösungen und der Reaktion auf unmittelbare Bedürfnisse gearbeitet. In Armenien, Tadschikistan, Myanmar und Nepal begannen wir 2019 mit einem länderübergreifenden Programman- satz, wobei wir von Synergien zwischen ähnlichen Programmen profitierten, die mit den Zivilgesellschaften vor Ort arbeiten, Regierungen einbeziehen und Randgruppen befähigen ihre Stimme zu erheben. Während wir an unserem Jahresbericht arbeiten, stellt sich Mission East erneut außergewöhnlichen Herausforderungen: der Covid - 19 Krise. Unsere Kolleg*innen auf der ganzen Welt kämpfen mit den Herausforderungen der Lockdowns und der Zersplitterung ihrer Teams, während sie gleichzeitig mit Hochdruck daran arbeiten, die Auswirkungen des Virus' auf Menschen zu ver- ringern, die bereits durch Armut, Hunger und dem eingeschränkten Zugang zu einer tragfähigen Gesundheitsversorgung gefährdet sind. Wie immer möchten wir allen unseren Unterstützer*innen, Spender*innen und Partnern, die diese wichtige Arbeit möglich machen, unseren tiefsten Dank aussprechen - und vor allem den Gemeinschaften und Einzelpersonen, die uns an den Orten, an denen wir arbeiten, ihr Vertrauen schenken. Kim Hartzner Otto Bernhardt Gründer Vorstandsvorsitzender JAHRESBERICHT 2019 | MISSION EAST | 7 MISSION EAST IN AKTION "Als ich ein junger Bauer war, konnten wir uns auf das Wetter verlassen.

  • 2013-05 Integral Disaster Response Launched for Syrian Crisis
    Integral Disaster Response Launched ± Syrian Crisis Immediate Release 8th May 2013 Integral Alliance has launched a collaborative Disaster Response for the Syrian Crisis, building on the work that Integral Members have already been carrying out in the region. By initiating the Integral Disaster Response Process more opportunities for synergy can be highlighted and collaboration between Members will be deepened. Since 2012 World Renew has been responding to the crisis through partners in Lebanon and Syria, with support from fellow Integral Members Tear Netherlands, Tearfund Belgium and World Relief (US). Since February 2013 Tearfund (UK) has been raising funds and supporting their partners based in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Since February 2013 TearFund Switzerland has been involved in fundraising for the crisis. TEAR Fund New Zealand, Tear Netherlands and World Concern are supporting partner-based responses and are looking to co-fund other Integral Members. MAP International is supplying emergency health kits to Syrian refugees through their local partner contacts. The Integral Secretariat has hosted three teleconferences to share information and plan funding and operational strategies to better coordinate the work already taking place in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan through Integral Members. This joint operations and communications response will explore how Integral can leverage institutional funding, and also facilitate more sharing of media resources for SULYDWHIXQGUDLVLQJFDPSDLJQV³7KHVSUHDGRI,QWHJUDOLV0HPEHUVLQ different countries, so agencies are not competing for funds from the same constituencies.
