In these early stages, the focus of any response is upon helping people with basic survival. Programmes focussing on the distribution of relief items – such as the means for water purifica- tion and storage, household items, shelter kits and basic food rations – are a “first response instrument”. After these basic needs have been met, Malteser International’s aim is to further reduce vulnerability and to pro- vide communities affected by crises and disasters with sustainable reconstruction and rehabilitation programmes promoting a strong development perspective. Respective programme components include reconstruction of houses and public buildings as well as social rehabilitation measures such as the reintegration of refugees within their homeland or reconciliation programmes in war-torn communities. In 2009, Malteser International reacted to a large number of emergencies and – among others – provided medical aid and hygiene support for displaced people in Sri Lanka and Pakistan,

  • Terms of Reference (Tor) Independent Evaluation of the Aktion Deutschland Hilft (ADH) Joint Appeal to “Rohingya Myanmar Bangladesh”
    Terms of Reference (ToR) Independent Evaluation of the Aktion Deutschland Hilft (ADH) joint appeal to “Rohingya Myanmar Bangladesh” 1. Introduction Aktion Deutschland Hilft (ADH) – Germany’s Relief Coalition is an alliance of 13 renowned German aid organisations founded in 2001. Together they provide humanitarian aid in the case of large catastrophes and emergency situations. The ADH Bonn office is commissioning an independent evaluation of ADH’s joint appeal “Rohingya Myanmar Bangladesh” to a) assess the implementation of the SPHERE core protection principles1 for staff and beneficiaries in its relief activities in Bangladesh, and b) draw recommendations to better support the planning of future programmes and projects. 2. Background On 25 August 2017 violence against the Muslim minority of the Rohingya in Rakhine State, Myanmar, escalated. This violence caused approx. 655,5002 Rohingya – 80 percent of them women and children - to flee across the Teknaf River to the district of Cox’s Bazar in neighbouring Bangladesh in less than three months, challenging international humanitarian response. 1 The Sphere Project Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Humanitarian Response (2011) [http://www.spherehandbook.org/en/introduction-1/] assessed 26 October 2018 2 UNHCR: Global Trends – Forced Displacement in 2017, page 18. [http://www.unhcr.org/5b27be547.pdf] assessed 26 October 2018 1 On 20 September 2017 Aktion Deutschland Hilft (ADH) launched a joint appeal to support the Rohingya population. The appeal raised funds over 2.2 million EUR from which 9 organisations party to ADH requested funds for their emergency responses. During the first phase of the emergency the respective member organisations (MOs) provided lifesaving humanitarian assistance – among others – basic food assistance, shelter, water, emergency latrines, and non-food items (NFIs).

I feel it is the appropriate time to hand over to a new person. I was appointed in May 2003 and during my time as consul I had the privilege to work with and for the members of the Maltese community of South Australia and with all the associations and especially with the Maltese Community Council of SA. I take this opportunity to sincerely thank all my friends and all those who assisted me in my journey. My dedication and services to the community were acknowledged by both the Australian and Maltese Governments by awarding me with the highest honour – Medal of Order of Australia and the medal F’Gieh Ir-Repubblika, which is given to those who have demonstrated exceptional merit in the service of Malta or of humanity. I thank also the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Evarist Bartolo, for acknowledging my continuous service to the Government of the Republic of Malta. I plan to continue publishing this Maltese eNewsletter – the Journal of Maltese Living Abroad which is the most popular and respected journal of the Maltese Diaspora and is read by thousands all over the world. I will publish in my journal the full story of this item in the near future. MS. CARMEN SPITERI On 26 June 2020 I was appointed as the Honorary Consul for Malta in South Australia.

  • Message from Grand Hospitaller (Minister of Health) to the Second International Conference on Nutrition
    Sovereign Order of Malta – Message from Grand Hospitaller (Minister of Health) to the Second International Conference on Nutrition TO BE DELIVERED BY DEPUTY OBSERVER, CLAUDE FORTHOMME Mr. President, Allow me to thank you for giving me the floor on this most important occasion and through you to express the Order of Malta’s appreciation for the tireless efforts of the FAO and the World Health Organization for organizing this key conference in the process of putting nutrition at the center on the world stage. Excellencies… Honourable Ministers, Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen I am honored to convey to this Conference the message from the Grand Hospitaller, Mr. de La Rochefoucauld – Montbel, our Minister of Health, who is not able to be with us today. He is in Bethlehem where the Order runs one of its many hospitals – this is a special place, symbolic of the Order’s humanitarian work, as it is the only maternity ward in the area caring for mothers and babies of all religions. For those not familiar with the Order of Malta’s activities, we operate in over 120 countries in the pursuit of our mandate to assist the poor, the hungry and the sick around the world. We do this in two ways, through our permanent institutions – such as hospitals, dispensaries and old people’s homes – and through Malteser International, providing emergency assistance in all the hot spots of the world, like in Syria, assisting refugees. This is a mission we have relentlessly pursued for over 900 years, since our founder, the Blessed Gerard, opened a hospital in Jerusalem for the sick of all creeds.

We also wish to thank the Director General, H.E. Ambassador William Lacy Swing, for his outstanding leadership during a particularly intense year. The international community is confronted daily with mass population movements that represent huge new challenges for both governments and humanitarian actors. The multiplicity of crises has lead to unprecedented forced displacement across the world in conjunction with dramatic and complex situations which need to be addressed urgently. As a contribution to this process, the Sovereign Order of Malta has recently co-organized several conferences. The first was held in September in Munich jointly with the Václav-Havel foundation ‘Forum 2000’, just as tens of thousands of asylum seekers were arriving at the central railway station. The meeting brought together academics, politicians, members of international organizations, including IOM’s representative in Germany, and local practitioners to debate the crisis and discuss proposals for the way forward.
