FUTURE ACTIVITIES
During 2008 we will continue to work towards theaims of our 2007 – 2009 Strategy. We will also continue to design and implement programmes that contribute towards the aims of the Millennium Development Goals. In order to achieve this we will:
- Continue to improve our capacity to respond to major emergencies, to respond more quickly and to assist more people with the aid they need.
- We will work towards setting-up the mechanism to contribute to sustainable development by reducing the burden of disasters on the poor and most vulnerable communities.
- Reducing the vulnerability of the poor to disaster risk effects through capacity building and livelihood resilience programmes. - Integrating disaster risk reduction into our development and humanitarian programmes.
- Improving the set-up of strong community-based organisations, in order to reduce risk in disaster prone regions.
- We will continue to advocate on behalf of the world’s poorest people to help ensure that their needs are met as well as raising awareness about issues that impact negatively upon them. We will continue to work with all communities regardless of race, religion or belief.
- We will continue to work in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Eastern Europe to provide more people with healthcare, education, clean water and sanitation facilities and income generation activities and support.
- We believe that the Rights-based approach to development will bring the promise of more effective, more sustainable, more rational and more genuine development processes. We will ensure that our programmes are guided by the need to protect and promote people’s human rights.
A rights-based approach is the acknowledgment that human-beings are the centre of development, and that the guarantee of their human rights is essential if poverty alleviation programmes are to be sustainable and successful.
