Published purpose
This project aims to support a Canadian Red Cross draw-down fund. This fund seeks to allow Canada to rapidly respond to International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) emergency operations following medium-scale humanitarian crises. The draw-down fund is a flexible funding mechanism that supports a timely and effective humanitarian response to those affected by natural disasters or complex emergencies, including conflict, population movement, food insecurity, and health crises. With GAC’s support, the Canadian Red Cross Society works to save lives and help reduce the suffering of people affected by the humanitarian crisis through the IFRC. Project activities include: (1) providing timely emergency shelter and essential non-food items to crisis-affected populations; (2) providing emergency healthcare, including mental health and psychosocial support; and (3) providing protection, gender and inclusion services.
