Main activities

Saving Lives

By responding to the emergent humanitarian needs of disaster affected households with a timely and appropriate response. DCA supports local structures to develop preparedness plans and collect and interpret early warning information.

Responding to the humanitarian needs of refugees and their hosting communities is the other main component of this programme area.

Building Resilient Communities

By improving the natural, financial, social and human capital of target households.

The main interventions include productivity focused land treatment and natural resource management; enhancing market linkage and value-chain development; promoting livelihood diversification; enhancing resilience through mainstreaming community-based Disaster Risk Reduction; and strengthening youth employment.

Fighting Extreme Inequalities

By emphasising women’s socio-economic empowerment and transformation of community norms in favour of vulnerable groups.

This includes enhancing the capacity of local actors (including government) for increased responsiveness to the needs of vulnerable groups; improving the capacity of community- and faith-based organisations and their leaders to serve as change agents and to fight HTPs; supporting establishment of self-help groups of women as economic and social agents; and promoting accountability throughout our work.
