The Ștefan Vodă district of southeast #Moldova, near the Ukraine border, is at high risk of conflict, food and economic insecurity, extreme weather and other disasters. Helvetas and our partners are working with local communities to mitigate the social, economic and environmental risks that already exist and are exacerbated by the war in #Ukraine. At workshops in four villages in the Stefan Voda district, local authorities, private sector representatives, Ukrainian refugees and leaders of educational institutions came together to prepare community-level emergency responses – as shown in the 📽 below. This included: 🚨 Disaster simulation exercises 🚨 Establishment of community management committees 🚨 Guidance on reacting effectively and efficiently The next step: Creating preparedness plans for each community and developing an early warning system. This project is made possible by the generous support of the American people through USAID. Ion Grădinari Anton Muntean Yuliia Y.

After World Water Day, water emergency should keep high on the international agenda since it's still a long way to meet SDG 6. ActionAgainst Hunger has analyzed humanitarian appeals made by 33 countries in 2023, finding that more than half of water-related fundingneeds are left unfulfilled. Only one country received international support that faroutstripped its appeals for water funding (Libya), with every other country experiencing a gap in water funding, which makes it harder to plan and implement effective programs worldwide, the report highlights. #WorldWaterDay #SDG6 #watercrisis #humanitarian https://lnkd.in/dfKcg44P
