Principled Humanitarian Programming in Yemen

Request for Proposal No RFP-RO02-Y001 Principled Humanitarian Programming in Yemen

The Danish Refugee Council assists refugees and internally displaced persons across the globe: we provide emergency aid and facilitate access to rights. We work in c/onflict-affected areas, along displacement routes, and in the countries where refugees settle. In cooperation with local communities, we strive for responsible and durable solutions. The Danish Refugee Council was founded in Denmark in 1956, and has since grown to become an international humanitarian organization with more than 7,000 staff and 8,000 volunteers. Our vision is a dignified life for all displaced. All of our efforts are based on our value compass: humanity, respect, independence and neutrality, participation, and honesty and transparency. DRC has been operating in the Middle East region for over a decade, running a combination of emergency, livelihood, protection and advocacy programs through Country Offices in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey with a Regional Office in Amman.

Humanitarian community recognize that humanitarian principles should lie at the heart of any response, particularly in situations of armed conflict. These principles are enshrined in the ‘European Consensus on Humanitarian Aid’ adopted by the institutions of the European Union (EU) and the Member States in December 2007.

Yemen presents a complicated humanitarian environment for organizations to navigate, requiring localized contextual analysis, consistent engagement with stakeholders and coordination amongst the humanitarian community to ensure Humanitarian principles are respected in the response. This requires an analysis of the interface between the Needs of the people, the Principles that guided the response to those needs and Access of humanitarians to respond. This all to be analyzed in the fluid conflict dynamic, access constraints (bureaucratic and otherwise) and the attempt to politicize aid from various actors within the context of Yemen
