Humanitarian aid
The transition phase
After an emergency, the transition phase aims to support the efforts of affected populations to rebuild their lives and regain their means of subsistence. The aim of the transition phase is both to make a bridge between the emergency phase and the development phase and to support the community and individuals in the process of reconstruction and rehabilitation. In 2017, the Ministry continued to co-finance rehabilitation and reconstruction activities. Thus, the NGO ONGD-FNEL received support for a project to construct earthquake-resistant houses. The NGO Care in Luxembourg was supported to implement a project to reconstruct health infrastructure enabling better access to maternal and reproductive health services and to water, hygiene and sanitation services. Another project co-financed by the Ministry was implemented by the Fondation Caritas Luxembourg to rebuild houses.
Fondation Caritas Luxembourg also received financial support for its rehabilitation and reconstruction programmes in the Syria, Lebanon and South Sudan. The Ministry also contributed to a Handicap International Luxembourg project in Algeria and co-financed two Luxembourg Red Cross reconstruction projects in Mali and Burkina Faso. In addition, the Ministry financed a project in the Philippines and Lebanon run by the NGO Kindernothilfe.
In line with its commitment to SDG 16 on peace, justice and strong institutions, the Ministry also continued its support for the activities of the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) in its transitional justice programme in Tunisia. Following the signature of a peace agreement in Colombia, the Ministry also extended its collaboration with ICTJ to support activities in the field of special peace courts. Finally, the NGO Refugee Education Trust (RET) was supported in implementing a programme to demobilise children associated with the armed forces and groups in the DRC.
