1. Executive Summary Overall Project/Program Status: Beginning 2006, the Indian Ocean Islands (IOI) representation has assisted the 4 national societies of Comoros Red Crescent, Malagasy Red Cross, Mauritius Red Cross and Red Cross of Seychelles in the areas of national society development, disaster management and resource mobilization. Since 2013, the IOI was integrated and became part of East African Regional Representation (EARR) and all 4 national societies now benefit from direct support from the EARR office in Nairobi. Comoros Red Crescent Society is active in the country with diverse programmes targeting the youth, first aid, health, promotion of humanitarian principles and values, capacity building, water and sanitation, management of disaster risks, vulnerability and capacity assessments at the community level as well as promoting income generating activities amongst the youth as was echoed at the regional Presidents and Secretaries General meeting held in Mauritius in April 2012. The national society carries out a number of trainings as part of its programming: Community-based health trainings to educate communities on hygiene measures to be adopted for the prevention of epidemics (against malaria and cholera) alongside national health authorities. Promotion of humanitarian principles and values training. Trainings in the field of water and sanitation (watsan) First aid training. Training for preparedness and response to disasters; multidisciplinary trainings at local and national levels (NDRT, ODTR, CDRTs). Malagasy Red Cross Society is providing assistance to the most vulnerable persons Madagascar in four main areas: First aid: The national Society is a leader in training the public in first aid and established itself as a point of reference in the field of vocational training in first aid. This has been made possible through the support of Japanese Red Cross in 2012. Community Health. The focus is mainly in the fight against tuberculosis and malaria as well as providing community awareness in reproductive health and psychosocial support. Disaster risk management, disaster risk reduction and disaster response. This includes reconstruction and rehabilitation of wells as well as training of national disaster response teams (NDRT) Promotion of humanitarian principles and values through which the national society ensures the emblem protection and dissemination of humanitarian law to the political and general public. Social assistance to the most vulnerable including social services, distribution of clothing and food through the school feeding program. The Comoros Red Crescent and Malagasy Red Cross warehouses construction funded by PIROI is ongoing. Mauritius Red Cross Society primarily focusses on preparedness and response to disasters. The national society is a member of "National Disaster Committee and Other Calamities" (NDOCC) Office of the Prime Minister and has 6 teams of disaster response at the local branches (ODTR) and a team at the national level (NDRT). The national society regularly participates in simulations carried out in collaboration with local authorities and has 4 Regional Disaster Response Team members trained to provide support in case of disasters in the IOI region. The national society offers first aid training to the public, police and other authorities as well as to commercial and non-profit organizations. In addition, they have an ambulance and rescue service that provides transport to persons with minor injuries as well as providing regular treatment to patients. The Red Cross Maurice also holds regular first-aid stations at sporting events. Page 2 of 13

Seychelles Red Cross holds regular first aid trainings for both individuals and professionals and owing to the success of these courses, the SRC decided to initiate an ambulance training, aides and water rescue trainings. In addition, the national society organizes first aid booths at public events. Furthermore the national society health programme is contributing to raising the public awareness on HIV / AIDS. The SRC participates in the regional disaster response team (RDRT) trainings in order to be equipped for disaster management and response. Through the support of ICRC, the national society has developed a program on dissemination of humanitarian law. The program has been accepted by the national education system and teachers gradually become familiar with the new concepts of law. The CRS also communicates a lot through radio and other publications on its activities, its values and the RC / RC Movement in general. Key Issues: The national societies in IOI region are experiencing financial difficulties raising sufficient funds to meet their core costs. The Canadian Red Cross Society which funded most of their core costs left the region in March 2013 and the IFRC IOI representation is actively seeking new partnerships to assist in meeting the core costs and especially the staff salaries. A regional resource mobilization workshop was held to deliberate on the strategic ways of assisting the NSs operationalize their resource mobilization plans. In April 2013, the Japanese Red Cross committed to support the salaries of the Secretaries General of the 4 National Societies for 1 year (up to April 2014). Key Accomplishments: Business 1: To raise humanitarian Standards In order to promote the humanitarian activities in the IOI region, all 4 national societies improved their communication strategies and policies. A total of 17,500 bulletins (500 bulletins for Comoros RC, 16,000 bulletins for Malagasy RC, 500 bulletins for Mauritius RC and 500 bulletins for Seychelles RCs) were published during the reporting period. In addition, the websites of Comoros 1, Malagasy 2 and Mauritius 3 national societies are up and running. Seychelles Red Cross does not yet have a website. Comoros and Malagasy national societies also are very active on social media and have a huge following on Facebook, twitter and YouTube. The national society staff are motivated to follow and do online trainings such as stay safe, RCRC World, and others available on the IFRC FedNet.Furthermore, all staff recruited are required to understand and sign the code of conduct for the movement as well as be knowledgeable on the seven fundamental principles. All the national societies held celebrations to mark the world Red Cross day on 8 may 2013 raising their visibility. Business 2: To grow Red Cross Red Crescent services for vulnerable people In February 2013, following the heavy rains from the Feleng tropical depression in the Indian Ocean severe flooding was experienced in the regions of Anse Aux Pins, Au Cap, Point Larue on the main Island Mahe and on the third largest inhabited island La Digue of Seychelles.CHF 106,551 was allocated from the IFRC`S Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) on to support the Red Cross Society of Seychelles for a period of four months in delivering assistance to some 3,000 beneficiaries. 1 http://www.cr-comorien.org/ 2 http://www.croix-rouge-malagasy.org/ 3 http://www.mauritiusredcross.org/ Page 3 of 13

In Madagascar,CHF 298,747 been allocated from the IFRC s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the national society in delivering immediate assistance to some 10,000 beneficiaries affected by Tropical cyclone Haruna. Malagasy Red Cross Society (MRCS) activated its contingency plan and mobilized its NDRT members to assist affected families. The volunteers conducted assessments and identified up to 2,000 families in 5 districts that were most vulnerable and provided assistance. In February 2013, the national society s disaster management officers participated at the East Africa and IOI regional meeting to share lessons learned during 2012 disaster response operations and programming as well as identify opportunities for support for the societies in their 2013 disaster management plans of action. IFRC staff conduct an assessment following flooding.. Photo/IFRC To reduce the vulnerability of communities in Madagascar and enable them to adapt to climate change, the Malagasy Red Cross initiated the "project Fanamby " from December 2012 to June 2014 with support from Norwegian Red Cross. The intervention will be at 3 levels with the regional branches benefitting from capacity building and supporting the Disaster Risk Management Committees at the district level. The activities include awareness in schools and communities, the construction / rehabilitation of infrastructure (irrigation canals / drainage, bridges), implementation of community works (construction of windbreaks, reforestation ) and construction / rehabilitation of 12 points drinking water and latrines. Norwegian Red Cross multilaterally supported disaster risk reduction activities of the Menabe project for 3 months in the reporting period. A regional meeting with IOI national societies was organized by PIROI in Mauritius in June. Business Line 3 To strengthen the specific Red Cross Red Crescent contribution to development IOI national societies participated at the East Africa RC Network meeting in Burundi and Bujumbura in February and had the opportunity to meet the IFRC president. On 15 January 2013, IFRC and Malagasy Red Cross had the opportunity to present to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the national society plans and activities. Also present at the meeting were the ministries of health, population, Interior, finance and duties. The ministries expressed their appreciation for the auxiliary role that the national society played and also commended the IFRC Status of Agreement in Republic of Madagascar.

Situation/Context Analysis Madagascar has experienced positive GDP growth in 2012 after several difficult years. IMF predicts growth in 2013, but that does not counterbalance the rise of inflation. The European Union has gradually resumed its cooperation with Madagascar, since the coup and the full return of international aid is conditional to the holding of elections. Despite encouraging signs, political stability has not fully returned in Madagascar. The World Bank approved an emergency loan of 128 million euros to Madagascar to facilitate the improvement of the deteriorating public services and infrastructures. The political crisis in Madagascar has led to a proliferation of illegal activities and traffic on the island which creates a major ecological risk. The agricultural sector, which contributes nearly 30 percent of GDP and employs more than two thirds of the population, suffered a reduced production of most of its products due to adverse weather conditions, except for vanilla production for which Madagascar is the world's largest exporter. Rising food and oil prices account for the 6.5 percent inflation rate. The fishing and tourism industries are flourishing. However, the sector has experienced a significant decline in European demand, while demand from emerging countries increased. The mining sector growth has a promising future and oil development is set to begin in 2013. The tertiary sector has also other dynamic activities, call centers, IT support. Page 6 of 13
