Folkekirkens Nødhjælp (DanChurchAid)

Those closest to disasters are better placed to respond to them - they react faster, assess needs better and lead coordination efforts for, and by local communities, which in turn can support improved social cohesion. DCA-NCA Palestine supported 59 community groups in 2024 to be first responders when disaster strikes. Come and listen to what they achieved – and can achieve – when Heba Timawy from MAAN Development Center – DCA-NCA's partner in Palestine – shares her experiences as a panellist in two events at the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week in Geneva on 26 and 27 March.

43 milliarder danske kroner til Syriens genopbygning. Det var løftet til landets nye myndigheder efter mandagens EU-ledede Syrien-konference i Bruxelles. På konferencen sidste år lovede det internationale samfund 51 milliarder danske kroner i bistand og lån til syrerne. Men med afviklingen af USAID og en ny geopolitisk virkelighed må vi bogføre et mindre fald på plussiden. Den danske regering annoncerede 660 millioner danske kroner til Syrien på konferencen. Det er vigtigt, at Danmark går i spidsen – både når det gælder bistand, ophævelse af sanktioner og diplomatisk tilstedeværelse. Folkekirkens Nødhjælp - i samarbejde med 150 andre NGO’er, der arbejder i Syrien og nabolandene - opfordrede op til konferencen hele det internationale samfund til markant at øge engagementet i Syrien. 👇👇 https://lnkd.in/dhiBaXF6

I går var huset fyldt til bristepunktet! 🙌 Sammen med Red Barnet og Globalt Fokus stod Folkekirkens Nødhjælp bag arrangementet Global Gamechanger – hvad gør vi, når Trump lukker for bistanden? En kæmpe tak til alle, der deltog og bidrog til den vigtige debat om konsekvenserne af Trump og Musks beslutning om at lukke for nødhjælpen til millioner af mennesker. En særlig tak til vores stærke panelister: Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen, Katja Lindskov Jacobsen, Adam Moe Fejerskov, Ole Wæver, Mette Müller Kristensen og Jonas Nøddekær – og til Julian Joyce Acoko, som gav os værdifuld indsigt i situationen i Uganda. Også en stor tak til politikerne Sascha Faxe, Jan E. Jørgensen og Marianne Bigum Bigum for at stille op og vise deres opbakning til udviklingsbistanden – en støtte, der er vigtigere end nogensinde. Og ikke mindst den fantastiske moderator Mette Vibe Utzon, der guidede os igennem programmet.

En global gamechanger – hvad gør vi, når USA lukker for bistanden? Donald Trump har sat hele USA’s udviklingsbistand på pause og lukket USAID. Det er en global gamechanger, og store spørgsmål hober sig op: Hvad betyder det for mennesker i verdens brændpunkter? Hvordan påvirker det de geopolitiske dynamikker? Og vigtigst af alt: Hvad stiller vi op? Kom til gratis fyraftensmøde i Folkekirkens Nødhjælp, hvor du kan høre Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen, Ole Wæver, Jan E. Jørgensen, Jonas Nøddekær, Marianne Bigum, Katja Lindskov Jacobsen, Adam Moe Fejerskov, Mette Müller Kristensen og stemmer fra det globale syd drøfte den nye verdenssituation. 📅Onsdag den 5. marts ⏰ Kl. 15.00 - 16.30 https://lnkd.in/d7S7P2y2
