Aid for the distressed and needy individuals worldwide
The German Foreign Office has outlined its strategy for providing humanitarian aid abroad, with a focus on helping people in distress survive with dignity and security. This strategy encompasses various sectors, including food assistance, food security, health, protection, water/sanitation and hygiene, shelter, and measures to improve the efficiency and development of the humanitarian system.
Eligible organizations for funding under this strategy are non-profit entities with a "-Quality Profile." For more information about eligibility and the application process, interested organizations can contact the Foreign Office at [email protected].
The humanitarian aid measures supported by the Federal Foreign Office include both reactive and proactive actions, with the primary goal of ensuring the survival and dignity of people in need. These measures are implemented by a diverse range of organizations, including the United Nations, Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, German organizations, international organizations, and local non-governmental organizations.
It's essential to note that the Foreign Office's strategy does not have a publicly specified fixed duration or validity period. Instead, it generally aligns with ongoing humanitarian needs and foreign policy considerations without explicit time limits defined in the available government documents.
Expenditures for evaluations are eligible under this strategy, and funding can only be provided to projects in countries on the DAC list. However, measures in direct cooperation with state structures are excluded from funding. Additionally, there are no guidelines for the approval period, approval amount, funding form and type, or time limits for the application submission.
Germany's global foreign policy includes the provision of needs-based humanitarian aid, with the aim of extending aid to various sectors and ensuring the survival and dignity of people in distress as part of its commitment to solidarity. The Federal Foreign Office promotes humanitarian aid measures through various organizations to make a meaningful impact on those in need.
Organizations with a "-Quality Profile" can request additional regulations regarding the application process. For more information and to stay updated on the latest developments in Germany's humanitarian aid strategy, please visit the Foreign Office's website or contact [email protected].
