May 2019 - On April 24, 2019, Cyclone Kenneth made landfall in Mozambique causing substantial damage to homes, infrastructure and crops. Tens of thousands of people were displaced from their homes and up to an estimated 380,000 are in need of humanitarian assistance as a result of the cyclone.

With GAC support, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is providing humanitarian assistance to those affected by Cyclone Kenneth in multiple sectors in Mozambique. This assistance includes protection, shelter, emergency non-food items, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), health, and camp coordination and management. With the support of Canada and other donors, IOM is also facilitating access to essential relief items and adequate living conditions for crisis-affected populations.

Project activities include: (1) providing emergency shelter and non-food items to households displaced by the Cyclone impact; (2) coordinating camp management for internally displaced people; (3) provision of adequate sanitation facilities and safe water through trucking and/or rehabilitation of damaged water points; (4) data collection, including mapping of populations that face increased vulnerabilities for enhanced targeting and delivery of assistance; (5) providing transportation and other support to improve access to healthcare facilities to increase access to medical care for the most vulnerable; and (6) protection and gender mainstreaming across activities with provision for extremely vulnerable individuals including women and children.

March 2019 - Chad faces interconnected humanitarian crises in a context of chronic poverty, food insecurity and low economic and social development. The security situation in neighbouring countries continues to generate population movements, particularly from the Central African Republic (CAR) in the south, from Sudan in the east, as well as internal displacement in the Lac province. This context has left nearly 4.3 million people (of which 51% are women) in need of emergency humanitarian assistance. Moreover, nutritional needs have increased by 29% compared to the beginning of 2018.

With GAC’s support, CARE Canada is helping to assist up to 19,347 conflict-affected people in the Lac province. Project activities include: (1) constructing or rehabilitating water points, benefiting up to 5,000 people; (2) distributing cash-for-work to up to 4,200 beneficiaries for work on small community projects, and providing unconditional cash assistance to up to 434 vulnerable people; (3) provide small pre-vaccinated ruminants to rebuild the livestock of up to 1,000 households; (4) building the capacity of up to 1,000 women and girls to manage income generating activities and resources such as land, water and pasture; and (5) distributing dignity kits for women and girls, which contain items required to maintain feminine hygiene, dignity and respect in their daily lives, benefiting up to 1,000 women and girls.

March 2019 - The conflict between the Boko Haram and Nigerian armed forces has been ongoing for over 10 years. Across the three affected states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, approximately 7.1 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in 2019 out of the total population of 13.4 million. Assistance for basic survival and protection is vital for displaced populations, host communities and vulnerable people across north-eastern Nigeria, especially in Borno State, the epicenter of the crisis.

With GAC’s support, CARE Canada is helping to assist up to 47,000 conflict-affected people in the Borno state. Project activities include: (1) providing mobile clinics to offer emergency sexual and reproductive health services, benefiting up to 30,000 vulnerable people; (2) training of up to 32 healthcare service providers on sexual and reproductive health services in three primary healthcare centers (PHC); (3) providing reproductive health kits and equipment to three PHC, including essential medicines, contraceptives, antibiotics, intravenous fluids and delivery beds; (4) distributing delivery kits, which contain items required to ensure safe and clean deliveries, benefiting up to 8,100 pregnant women; and (5) creating and training three gender-based violence Protection Committees, benefiting up to 3,000 people, mostly women and children.
