Description

Action Against Hunger (Spain) and GVC (Italy) are International Non-Governmental Organisations that have joined their expertise in managing humanitarian actions worldwide and are now implementing the project “Strengthening the resilience and response capacity of vulnerable and disaster-affected communities through the deployment of EU Aid Volunteers”.

The project will seek to directly strengthen resilience and response capacity of vulnerable and disaster-affected communities through the deployment of 19 trained EU Aid Volunteers in 10 countries: Guatemala, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Georgia, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Thailand and Cambodia.

This main objective will be achieved through the deployment of EU Aid Volunteers and capacity-building activities to strengthen decision-making processes based on the Regional Pastoral Surveillance System (SO1), as well as to strength good practices and lessons learned about disaster risk management and resilience practices in vulnerable communities (SO2), and to strengthen humanitarian skills and capacities of a great range of humanitarian actors around contingency planning processes and coordination mechanisms (SO3).

These specific objectives will be complemented by activities with the purpose to ensure adequate support to the EU Aid Volunteers and the quality of the entire implementation process (SO4) and finally oriented to guarantee the best coordination mechanisms between EU and in-country partners (SO5).

11 hosting organisations will be involved in the development of the project, involving 19 EU Aid Volunteers: 5 Senior Volunteers (more than 5 years of professional experience) and 14 Junior Volunteers (less than 5 years of professional experience) in the 10 countries targeted by the project.

Through their volunteering deployments, EU Aid Volunteers will support the sharing of good practices and lessons learned about disaster risk management and resilience in vulnerable communities and to help boost and strengthen the humanitarian skills and capacities of a range of humanitarian actors.
