Actions taken:
The Danish Government actively supports the negotiation of the EU-facilitated UNGA Resolution on the safety of humanitarian personnel and co-sponsors the resolution every year. In 2018, the Danish MFA initiated the establishment of a Humanitarian Access Working Group among the major Danish humanitarian CSOs. The initiative aims to establish a common platform for Danish humanitarian organizations to share learning and identify opportunities for collective engagement around issues related to humanitarian access. The working group will also be able to feed current issues and challenges to humanitarian access and the safety of humanitarian personnel into the government’s policy dialogues.
DRC has collaborated with the ICRC, as part of a broader strategic partnership, in supporting a number of National Societies to develop a system that supports effective, coherent and sustainable development of branches and in identified branches create volunteer-based humanitarian services, and chaired the Core Group which led the development of new guidance for National Society statutes.
