Description:
P006454001 & P006454002: One of the biggest challenges to the timely delivery of humanitarian assistance is the ability to rapidly deploy experienced humanitarian experts in the aftermath of a disaster. To address this challenge, and to enhance the timeliness, reliability and effectiveness of international humanitarian responses to crises, CANADEM maintains a roster of highly qualified disaster relief and humanitarian experts. These experts can be deployed for short term missions in response to sudden onset emergencies, at the request of United Nations humanitarian agencies.
With GAC's support, CANADEM is managing the deployment of humanitarian experts in response to sudden onset crises abroad. Activities focus on: (1) managing and expanding the humanitarian experts roster, including through ongoing recruitment and skills development of humanitarian experts; and (2) facilitating the short-term deployment of humanitarian experts to UN humanitarian agencies following sudden onset crises, including in the areas of needs assessment and coordination, child protection, water and sanitation, health and nutrition, and information management.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased contribution of Canadian humanitarian surge experts in response to crises; and (2) increased capacity of the humanitarian response system to respond to sudden onset crises worldwide.
The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or that are facing acute food insecurity.
