This program provides partners long-term capacity building assistance in the restoration of their communities, organizations and programs following devastating events such as war or natural disasters. We work with local partners to develop human, social and economic capital and build infrastructure that restores their capacity to fulfill the role they are called to do during and after the crisis. This program is not an emergency response program in terms of food, medicine, water and other material resources. The critical role of our capacity building is to ensure that our partners, in these times of crisis, are capable of protecting and advocating for the interests of the most vulnerable sectors of the population against discrimination, forced relocation and exploitation that are often commonplace practice following disasters.
