Emergency aid will be linked to long-term efforts to alleviate humanitarian crises
Emergency aid needs to be increasingly linked to long-term development efforts that help to build greater resilience in areas affected by humanitarian crises.
The Novo Nordisk Foundation therefore supports several projects that address both acute and long-term needs in some of the most vulnerable parts of the world. Nine organizations and research institutions have been awarded a total of DKK 39.3 million for projects with activities in Mali, Yemen, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, South Sudan, Jordan, Iraq and Syria.
“At the Novo Nordisk Foundation, we have chosen to focus on projects that combine emergency efforts with capacity-building in the longer term to help especially vulnerable groups. This requires extra effort from the organisations that do the work. In return, it provides an opportunity to develop some more integrated solutions that are adapted to local conditions,” says Hanna Line Jakobsen, Senior Vice President, Social & Humanitarian, Novo Nordisk Foundation.
EIR Org is receiving DKK 1.5 million for the project EIR Football League Jordan 2022–2023. The project will take place in Jordan.
