Sri Lanka – Humanitarian Crisis - IFRC 2022

EF 2022-23 · 2022-07-22

Résumé
June 2022 – Since March 2020, Sri Lanka has been facing a growing economic and financial crisis. This crisis intensified throughout 2021, leading to a shortage of essential food and non-food items, significant increases in commodity prices and the devaluation of the Sri Lankan rupee. The key humanitarian impacts include the loss of livelihoods, food insecurity, lack of drinking water, power cuts and shortages of life-saving medicines, among other issues. The United Nations estimates that 5.7 million people across 25 districts of Sri Lanka require humanitarian assistance as a result of this multi-dimensional crisis. With GAC’s support, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) works to meet the immediate food, health, protection and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) needs of the most vulnerable populations in Sri Lanka, through an integrated and multi-sectoral response. Project activities include: (1) distributing nutritional dry rations, school packs and menstrual hygiene products to vulnerable households; (2) delivering mental health, psychosocial support and first aid support; (3) providing safe drinking water; and (4) training volunteers on preventing and addressing sexual and gender-based violence.

Description (French)
Juin 2022 – Depuis mars 2020, le Sri Lanka doit faire face à une crise économique et financière croissante. La crise s’est exacerbée tout au long de 2021, ce qui a mené à une pénurie de produits alimentaires et non alimentaires essentiels, une augmentation importante du prix des marchandises et la dépréciation de la roupie sri lankaise. Les principales répercussions humanitaires sont, entre autres, la perte des moyens de subsistance, l’insécurité alimentaire, le manque d’eau potable, les coupures de courant et les pénuries de médicaments essentiels. Selon les Nations Unies, 5,7 millions de personnes dans 25 districts du Sri Lanka ont besoin d’une aide humanitaire en raison de cette crise multidimensionnelle. Avec le soutien d’AMC, la Fédération internationale des sociétés de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge (IFRC) travaille à répondre aux besoins immédiats en matière de nourriture, de santé, de protection et de services d’approvisionnement en eau, d’assainissement et d’hygiène des populations les plus vulnérables au Sri Lanka, au moyen d’une réponse intégrée multisectorielle. Les activités du projet comprennent ce qui suit : 1) distribuer des rations sèches nutritives, des trousses scolaires et des produits d’hygiène menstruelle aux ménages vulnérables; 2) offrir un soutien en matière de santé mentale et de premiers soins et un soutien psychosocial; 3) fournir de l’eau potable salubre; et 4) former les bénévoles sur la prévention de la violence sexuelle et fondée sur le genre et la lutte contre ce type de violence.
Expected Results
The expected outcome for this project is increased access to essential food, health, protection and WASH support for vulnerable and at-risk populations. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
Expected Results (French)
Le résultat escompté de ce projet est un accès accru aux aliments essentiels et à un soutien sur les plans de la santé, de la protection et de l’approvisionnement en eau, de l’assainissement et de l’hygiène pour les populations vulnérables et à risque. Le résultat escompté ultime consiste à sauver des vies, à atténuer les souffrances et à préserver la dignité humaine dans les pays aux prises avec des crises humanitaires ou une insécurité alimentaire aiguë.
