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.
  • Heatwave Guide for Cities

    Heatwave Guide for Cities

    HEATWAVE GUIDE FOR CITIES HEATWAVE GUIDE FOR CITIES 2 HEATWAVE GUIDE FOR CITIES Heatwaves are deadly and their impacts are on the rise globally due to climate change. But this is not inevitable; it is up to us to prevent this public-health crisis from impacting our neighbours, family members and friends. Every year, heatwaves claim the lives of infants, older people, and people with chronic health conditions. The urban poor frequently bear the brunt of this silent emergency. In addition to threatening the lives and health of vulnerable popula- tions, heatwaves have cascading impacts in other areas of society, such as reduced economic output, strained health systems and rolling power outages. The Lancet estimates that in 2017, 153 billion hours of work were lost due to extreme heat. What is unacceptable about this silent emergency is that simple, low-cost actions such as ordinary citizens checking on vulnerable neighbours can save lives during episodes of extreme heat. As many as 5 billion people live in areas of the world where heatwaves can be forecast before they happen, which means we have time to take early action to save lives. To address the existing need and reduce future risks posed by climate change, we need collective global action to scale up early warning systems for heat. People living in urban areas are amongst the hardest hit when a heatwave occurs because these are hotter than the surrounding countryside. Along with climate change, urbanization is one of the most transformative trends of this century and the last. Over half the world now lives in urban areas and this is projected to increase to two-thirds by 2050.

The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of national societies to respond to disasters. Period covered by this update: 9 April to 23 April 2009. CHF 700,000 (USD 613,944 or EUR 460,808) has been allocated from the International Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Italian Red Cross in delivering immediate assistance to 15,000 beneficiaries and to replenish emergency stocks. This DREF operation is an opportunity for Partner National Societies and donors to support the Italian Red Cross in its ongoing operations, and un-earmarked contributions to replenish the DREF are therefore highly encouraged. Summary: A strong earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale hit central Italy on 6 April 2009. Some 290 people have been killed, around 1,000 Photo: Italian Red Cross operational centre injured and 48,000 made homeless. Several strong aftershocks hit the region in the following week. The Italian Red Cross is supporting the affected population with food and non- food items as well as psychological support in order to overcome the most urgent needs. This operation is expected to be implemented over a period of three months, and will therefore be completed by 7 July, 2009.

    International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Family Links Network Code of Conduct on Data Protection

    International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Family Links Network Code of Conduct on Data Protection Version 1.0 November 2015 International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Family Links Network Code of Conduct _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Foreword This Code of Conduct (CoC) was drafted by a working group composed of representatives of the Austrian Red Cross (Claire Schocher-Döring), Belgian Red Cross (Flanders) (Axel Vande Veegaete, Nadia Terweduwe), British Red Cross (Mark Baynham and Emily Knox), German Red Cross (Jutta Hermanns), Red Cross EU Office (Olivier Jenard), International Committee of the Red Cross (Romain Bircher, Massimo Marelli, Katja Gysin) and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Cross Societies (Christopher Rassi) (Working Group). Several other representatives of these organizations also took part in the drafting, discussions, and meetings, making important contributions. The Working Group began discussions on this project in late 2013, and has had several working meetings in Mechelen (April 2014), Brussels (July 2014), Vienna (September 2014), Sofia (November 2014), and London (January 2015), in addition to multiple phone conferences and e-mail exchanges. The CoC was adopted within the Working Group by consensus, incorporating feedback received from many National Societies. The CoC was deemed necessary due to (1) the many actors of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (Movement) operating in the Family Links Network , and the need to transfer data within the Movement and to other actors, and (2) the changing regulatory environment in Europe and worldwide with regard to data protection laws and standards. The CoC sets out the minimum principles, commitments, and procedures that members of the Movement must comply with when processing data within the Family Links Network.
