Humanitarian aid

The transition phase

After an emergency, the transition phase aims to support the efforts of affected populations to rebuild their lives. 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 2018, the Ministry continued to co-finance rehabilitation and reconstruction activities. Thus, Fondation Caritas Luxembourg received support for a project to rebuild a health centre. 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 Syria, Afghanistan, 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 Ukraine. In addition, the Ministry financed a project in Lebanon run by the NGO Kindernothilfe and assisted the NGO Aide à l’enfance de l’Inde to implement, with the Ministry’s financial support, a rehabilitation project for flood victims in the state of Kerala in India.

In line with its commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 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 and Colombia. 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 Democratic Republic of Congo.
