World Disasters Report 2008 - Focus on HIV and AIDS

World Disasters Report 2008 - Focus on HIV and AIDS
The AIDS epidemic is a disaster on many levels. In the most affected countries in sub-Saharan Africa, where prevalence rates reach 20 per cent, development gains are reversed and life expectancy may be halved. For specific groups of marginalized people – injecting drug users, sex workers and men who have sex with men – across the world, HIV rates are on the increase. Yet they often face stigma, criminalization and little, if any, access to HIV prevention and treatment services.

International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement: Guidelines for cash transfert programming

International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement: Guidelines for cash transfert programming
There is a growing body of evidence that cash-based programming can be a very appropriate and effective form of response, alone or in combination with other in-kind programmes. Building on the broad range of cash experiences within the Movement and in the humanitarian sector, these guidelines help programme managers identify those situations where cash is appropriate, and provide practical, step-by-step support to the design and implementation of cash programmes. The guidelines are meant for field practitioners who are considering cash as a possible response for relief or recovery programmes.
