  • Icelandic Ngos and Humanitarian Aid a Look at the Allocation Process
    Icelandic NGOs and Humanitarian Aid A look at the Allocation Process Þorsteinn Valdimarsson Lokaverkefni til MA–gráðu í þróunarfræðum Félagsvísindasvið Icelandic NGOs and Humanitarian Aid A Look at the Allocation Process Þorsteinn Valdimarsson Lokaverkefni til MA-gráðu í þróunarfræðum Leiðbeinandi: Jónína Einarsdóttir Félags- og mannvísindadeild Félagsvísindasvið Háskóla Íslands Október 2015 Ritgerð þessi er lokaverkefni til MA-gráðu í þróunarfræðum og er óheimilt að afrita ritgerðina á nokkurn hátt nema með leyfi rétthafa. © Þorsteinn Valdimarsson 2015 Reykjavík, Ísland 2015 ABSTRACT Icelandic NGOs have increasingly engaged in humanitarian assistance in recent years with the support of The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), which announces funds for non- governmental organisations (NGOs) in humanitarian aid biannually, and additionally in case of severe disasters. 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.

  • International Federation Launches Preliminary Emergency Appeal For
    Panama, 1 November 2007 International Federation launches preliminary emergency appeal for victims of Tropical Storm Noel The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is launching a preliminary emergency appeal for nearly 800,000 Swiss francs (US$ 677,00/€ 470,000) to help people affected by Tropical Storm Noel, which has pounded the Dominican Republic and Haiti with high winds and torrential rains. Mudslides and flooding have left more than 60 people dead in both countries and caused severe damage to infrastructure, including electrical lines, roads, bridges and thousands of homes. According to the Dominican authorities, some 25,000 people are homeless. Noel remains an active tropical storm moving towards the Bahamas. The funds will be used to provide 15,000 people (10,000 in the Dominican Republic and 5,000 in Haiti) with food, water, hygiene articles, kitchen sets, mosquito nets and tarpaulins, as well as psychological support, over the next six months. Since the onset of the emergency, the Dominican Red Cross has mobilized some 500 volunteers to perform search and rescue activities, provide first aid and help assess needs and damages. All Haitian Red Cross (HRC) volunteers in chapters located in the southern peninsula were mobilized. The HRC is also currently responding to the needs of people who were affected by Hurricane Dean. A plane loaded with relief items for 2,000 families (including hygiene articles, kitchen sets, jerrycans, mosquito nets and tarpaulins) will depart from Panama today (1 Nov) for the Dominican Republic. The Haitian Red Cross is distributing prepositioned emergency relief supplies. Several delegates from the Federation’s Pan American Disaster Response Unit (PADRU), specialized in disaster management, telecommunications and logistics, have been deployed to the Dominican Republic to support Red Cross response and relief activities.

These actions were done in alignment with International Movement strategies and standards, including Strategy 2020 and the Inter-American Framework for Action 2012-2016. Particular technical and strategic guidance was given to the BRC in the areas of urban risk and resilience, response and preparation for disaster, and organization development. During 2014, the BRC lead a four-month DREF operation for floods (MDRBO009). This DREF operation assisted 5,000 people (1,000 households) following the heavy precipitation in November and December 2013, which led to the declaration of a national emergency in January 2014. The BRC attended the subsequent floods that severely impacted the Beni and Pando departments in the Bolivian Amazon. The National Society implemented a cash transfer programme, as well as health prevention activities and support for the recovery of water and sanitation actions. Click here for the Final Report.
