Programs

Our Approaches

 

1. Integrated programming. We form nexus between sectors like Peace building, General Protection, WASH Shelter and NFI’s, Gender Based Violence (GBV), Food Security and Livelihood (FSL), Returnee monitoring, Refugee Settlement, Camp Coordination and Camp Management and Economic Empowerment where the outcome of humanitarian response can transition communities to resilience, build capacities and stimulate growth.
2. Simultaneous programming. We can concentrate in one area seeking to holistically address the challenges in this area. All programs are implemented at the same time and target the same population in order to reinforce each other, leverage on resource and contribute to multiple outcomes.
3. Sequential programming. In disaster and natural calamity prone areas such as areas affected by floods and communal conflicts, we program in phases to ensure future risk mitigation and community preparedness such that after humanitarian response, the succeeding programs define long term solutions that minimize the disaster from recurring.

Food Security and Livelihood

Food security and livelihood is one of the main focus areas, HRSS supports vulnerable communities affected by conflict to recover and move towards self-reliance. Interventions address two important aspects of the respective communities: Immediate emergency humanitarian livelihoods support – This is help accorded to the most vulnerable households that have been affected by conflict and other disasters.

1. Long-term food security and livelihood support – This program seeks to empower communities, especially women and other special groups, through different innovative approaches in order to change their lives through training on entrepreneurship and life skills, village farm schools, and village saving and loans associations (VSLAs) and other income-generating activities (IGA) aimed at changing their lives in the long term. Livestock support also forms one core area of engagement within the long-term food security and livelihood support. The Food Security and livelihood programme is integrated and mainstreamed across other programmes that HRSS is engaged in such as Water Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH), Health and nutrition, Protection, GBV and gender empowerment.
2. Immediate emergency humanitarian livelihoods support – This is help accorded to the most vulnerable households. The program targets refugees and host communities. In this area, HRSS targets to support more than 10,000 individuals across region with vegetable seeds, crops, and agricultural tools.
