The Call to Action
Encourage Group Support Over Individual Aid
Instead of only individual cash assistance, consider tranfers supporting whole communities through activities like communal kitchens and women cooperatives.
Support with Urgency
We all need to work together to respond quickly to new crises. Inaction is the real risk.
Volunteers Are Aid Workers, Protect Them Accordingly
Advocate for the protection of local first responders.
Keep Funding Flexible
The situation on the ground is ever-changing and unpredictable. Reduce red tape and recognize the need for responders to stay agile.
It’s About Trust, Not Access
Mutual aid is a viable delivery system at all times, not only when international actors are limited by security access.
