Voluntarism in Disaster Risk Management and Humanitarian Assistance in Anglophone OAS Caribbean Member States
With the financial and technical assitance of the White Helmets Commission of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
Worship of the Argentine Republic, and in cooperation with the Executive Secretariat for Integral Development
of the General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (GS/OAS), through the Risk Management and
Adaptation to Climate Change Program (RISK-MACC) of the Department of Sustainable Development.

(RfP), seeks to contribute to the strengthening of the institutional and human potential of the Anglophone OAS Caribbean
Member States for disaster risk management, humanitarian assistance in cases of disaster or any other emergencies,
and the subsequent rehabilitation phase; and disaster mitigation, prevention and preparedness. Consolidating local
initiatives and establishing volunteer networks enable the implementation of rapid response, as well as the
establishment of permanent prevention and training mechanisms, both for the officials of the competent national
agencies –responsible for or acting as governing bodies in the field of risk management, as well as affected
populations, with measures aimed at alleviating poverty, particularly among those most vulnerable.
Expected Results:
Competent institutions strengthened and trained in risk management, disaster and emergency management, as well as humanitarian assistance. Needs and capacity assessments.
Regional Network of Humanitarian Volunteers further developed and strengthened: expansion and strengthening of local volunteer corps working on emergency response, and disaster mitigation and prevention, providing the most vulnerable local communities with greater capabilities to face social problems and recurring natural phenomena.
