The commemoration of #WorldHumanitarianDay is a nudge to spur us back into action to collaborate to tackle the myriad of emergencies the world is currently facing. This day should appeal to our humanness, and result in collective action to make a genuine effort to tackle and respond to the many natural and man-made situations that have led many parts of the developing world into food insecurity, famine, instability, and loss of life. On this day we look back to the origins of organizations like Catholic Relief Services as a reputable international humanitarian and development organization working to support the most in-need people to regain their dignity, creating options for the poor and vulnerable. Emergencies are inevitable but most importantly emergency relief is an indispensable and crucial consideration when creating sustainable development pathways to support communities in need to thrive in an enabled and dignifying environment. Through initiatives like CRS' Empowering Partner Organizations Working on Emergency Response (EMP✊WER) program, we continue to build the capacities of local partners to enable them to effectively communicate the need for emergency response, and mobilize actual resources during emergencies. PS: That's me in the back enjoying every bit of my work supporting people to share their stories with the world, one community at a time. Also bringing this bit here again because it sounds so C😋🤣L: "Emergencies are inevitable but most importantly emergency relief is an indispensable and crucial consideration when creating sustainable development pathways to support communities in need to thrive in an enabled and dignifying environment." - Maaweh 😎

All over the world, conflicts that appear on your newsfeed become forgotten stories all too quickly. In their shadow, a global hunger crisis keeps growing. Conflict can lead to displacement and crippled economies, which directly impact access to food, shelter, and employment. It can lead to government resources being diverted away from food distribution towards military efforts. In the end, conflict leaves millions of children without ENOUGH to eat, without ENOUGH to drink, and without ENOUGH global attention to fuel action that can save their lives. It’s time we say ENOUGH is #ENOUGH. Get more details on how our childhood rescue programs are helping children displaced by conflict:

🌍 The Emergency Watchlist report by the International Rescue Committee is more than just a list—it's a lifeline for preparedness and action. For a decade, it's guided our focus on the 20 countries at highest risk of humanitarian crises, using a robust analysis of 65 variables and insights from our work across 50+ nations. 🔍 This report, based on rigorous analytics and qualitative experiences, has predicted 85-95% of the countries facing severe deteriorations. It's not just about prediction; it's where we delve into evolving global crises, their causes, and actionable steps to mitigate their impact on communities. 💪 Empowering us to direct our emergency preparedness efforts effectively, this report is a testament to the IRC's commitment to proactive humanitarian action. Together, let's continue to make a difference where it matters most. #EmergencyWatchlist #HumanitarianAction #IRCInsights https://lnkd.in/djM732aw

On World Humanitarian Day, we express deep gratitude to humanitarian aid workers and volunteers. These dedicated individuals put themselves at risk to help those in need. Their courage and compassion bring hope to the most vulnerable, often in dangerous and desperate situations. Australians are at the forefront of humanitarian efforts. The Australian Red Cross is a volunteer involving organisation that exists to reduce human suffering. With over 20,000 members and volunteers they mobilise the power of humanity through connecting people in need of support to those with the means to support. Their impact in 2022-2023 included more than 324,000 people directly receiving support during and after disasters, 33 emergency activations across the country and over 4 million people accessing information from disaster preparedness campaigns. In a world that can feel overwhelming, we can still make a difference through volunteering. Your compassion has power. Because in the face of darkness, even the smallest light can guide the way. Let's #ActForHumanity

What is PDM? Post Distribution Monitoring, refers to the systematic process of evaluating the distribution of resources or aid after they have been delivered to recipients. This can involve: 1. **Tracking and Verification**: Ensuring that the aid or resources have reached the intended beneficiaries. 2. **Assessment of Usage**: Monitoring how the recipients are using the aid or resources. 3. **Impact Evaluation**: Determining the effectiveness and impact of the distributed resources on the beneficiaries. 4. **Feedback Collection**: Gathering feedback from recipients to improve future distributions. PDM is commonly used in humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and development programs to ensure accountability, transparency, and to improve the efficiency of resource distribution.
