ا) أهداف التعهد
The Belgian Government (Belgian Development Cooperation) and the Belgian Red Cross are committed to continue to work towards a partnership-model that improves the effectiveness and efficiency of the humanitarian assistance delivered through the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
They will ensure the partnership-model will consider the following concerns:
– A partnership that focuses on risk-mitigation, in order to turn vulnerabilities into self-reliance and maximize preparedness to respond, before disasters hit.
– A partnership that allows for rapid action in case of emergency, in order to save lives and safeguard human dignity when any minute counts.
– A partnership that allows for reliable and well-planned support to protracted crises and forgotten disasters, in order to alleviate persistent humanitarian needs while fostering possibilities for development.
– A partnership that minimizes administrative burdens, allowing for an increased focus on what matters most: impactful humanitarian action which translates the Belgian humanitarian strategy to concrete results.In each of the above situations, and according to each National Society’s mission to support the other National Societies in humanitarian assistance and their development (Statutes of the Movement, Article 3 par. 3), the Belgian Red Cross reaffirms its engagement to fully play a coordinating and facilitating role towards the Belgian government in which funding is channelled to the best placed International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement partner, as local as possible.
This pledge is connected to two of the pillars of the 33rd International Conference, “Shifting Vulnerabilities” and “Trust in the Humanitarian Action”.
