Sahel Humanitarian Assistance and Protection Programme 2021-2028
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The SHAPP will provide assistance and protection for the most vulnerable in geographic hotspots of most acute need in the Sahel. Hotspots are found across the region where consequences of conflict, including violations of international humanitarian and human rights law, are making pre-existing food insecurity and malnutrition worse. The SHAPP will address as many basic needs as possible of the most vulnerable including child protection, support to victims or survivors of gender based violence, food, nutrition, water and sanitation. Human rights and international humanitarian law will remain at the centre of the new programme by informing and driving SHAPP design and priorities.
Syria Independent Monitoring 2
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The aim of this programme is to provide independent monitoring of DFID-funded projects in Syria. Due to security risks, DFID has no presence in Syria and our staff manage projects remotely from Lebanon and the UK. This means we are unable to directly monitor the delivery and quality of DFID projects. Independent monitoring is our principal method of ensuring funding in Syria is being used as intended. It allows us to verify partners reporting and enhances the quality of our oversight. It is also instrumental to our risk mitigation and quality and control measures. The expected impact of this programme is to improve portfolio and programme delivery and performance, leading to improved development outcomes and stronger public and ministerial confidence in DFID Syria programming.
Zimbabwe Humanitarian and Resilience Programme (ZHARP) 2019-25
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
This programme will provide a monthly unconditional cash transfer of USD $13 to at least 11,000 people with very high levels of food insecurity in urban areas. Each person (up to 5 in one family) will receive the transfer for a minimum period of 9 months, allowing them to purchase basic food stuffs and try to avoid resorting to damaging coping strategies during the peak lean season. In addition, the programme will work on synergies with WFP and other donors to pilot approaches to building the resilience of vulnerable urban populations to economic and climatic shocks. WFP will also further develop and mainstream the Toose GBV approach in a form that can be added or ‘layered’ onto WFP assistance programmes across Zimbabwe and potentially globally.
Syria Humanitarian Protection Programme (SHPP)
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The Syria Protection Programme will provide civilians affected by armed conflict with specialised protection services
Humanitarian Enablers Programme (HEP)
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The programme will contribute to making humanitarian responses by FCDO and the international humanitarian system more effective as a core priority of the UK Government’s International Development Strategy (IDS). It will support specialised enabling services which are aligned to the three priorities of the Humanitarian Framework: independent data collection and analysis (prioritise); contributing to improved access and inclusion of vulnerable groups (protect); and strengthening early warning and risk management (prevent). The programme will deploy enabling services in rapid onset and protracted crises; complementing and informing the FCDO’s response and providing “global public goods” that multiply the impact of others.
Enabling predictable, quick and effective responses to humanitarian crises
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
To support people affected by disasters, conflict and displacement globally, the programme will; provide high volumes of time-critical humanitarian assistance to save lives and mitigate suffering, through a high-performing Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), and potentially other emergency funds, that can rapidly release funds where and when they are needed most, including in advance of imminent crises; support strategic investments in improved quality and effectiveness of country level responses to urgent needs i.e. based on joint needs assessments and a collective approach to accountability.
Affordability of Food & Finance in Yemen
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
Yemen’s economic crisis exacerbates humanitarian need and political instability. With 90% of Yemen’s food imported, prices are rising – a major factor behind famine risk. Meanwhile, rising public discontent over currency instability and food prices could trigger Government collapse, undermining the peace process. The programme will provide funding to preserve and strengthen institutional capacity, help maintain access to trade finance to enable the continued flow of imports and stabilise food prices. Improved policies will help to stabilise the exchange rate and macroeconomy, reduce food price inflation and avoid further escalation of humanitarian needs. The programme will benefit populations across the country, by lowering the cost of food and increase access to hard currency.

Africa Humanitarian Response Fund II (AHRF II)
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The programme will deliver quality humanitarian assistance in African contexts where the FCDO has no in-country humanitarian expertise or where a regional response is more efficient than a country-by-country approach. It will address severe humanitarian needs where the UK has comparative advantages. It will prioritise life-saving assistance to vulnerable populations in protracted humanitarian contexts in the Central Africa Republic, Eritrea, Cameroon, and Madagascar and allow the FCDO to respond to both sudden onset and emerging humanitarian crises.

Humanitarian Action and Recovery after Crisis programme (HARC)
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
DRC is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, driven by conflict, poor governance, a predatory political system, and low state capacity. Civilians, particularly women and children, are often targeted by armed actors. It is a protracted crisis. FCDO and partners in DRC have a role in shifting the trajectory. To do this the UK needs a holistic approach to address new humanitarian needs, support recovery and household ability to cope with shocks and help survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) recover. BEK will focus our programme on the east of DRC with flexibility to respond to new crises that may develop elsewhere in the country.
