| Contexte | According to OCHA, around 300 million people were dependent on humanitarian aid in 2024; the triggers for this were diverse, with the number of people in need rising steadily, while the funds needed to meet their needs are becoming increasingly scarce. |
| Objectifs | Rapid liquidity for the SRC to enable it to implement emergency aid operations tailored to the needs of those affected in foreign countries in the event of emergencies. |
| Groupes cibles | Individuals and population groups who are in urgent need of humanitarian aid due to natural disasters or man-made crises. |
| Effets à moyen terme | People affected by crises around the world receive rapid, professional and unbureaucratic assistance, either through contributions to IFRC appeals or through the SRC's own efforts (e.g. personnel and relief supplies). |
| Résultats |
Principaux résultats attendus: The basic needs of people affected by crises are met in accordance with humanitarian principles, without delay and in consultation with the SDC.
