Each year Sida undertakes a humanitarian allocation process in which all on-going humanitarian crises are analyzed, and where the partners most relevant to respond to identified needs in each specific crisis are selected. The initial funding to the ICRC in 2018, which is being encompassed in this decision, is thus based on the Sida humanitarian allocation process that took place in late 2017. A three-year agreement is however suggested to be signed with the ICRC, where additional contributions will be added to the agreement, subject to funds availability, governmental appropriations and Sida needs assessments. For 2018, it is proposed that 450 MSEK is allocated to the ICRC for the implementation of activities in 36 contexts (of which 8 are regional and covers several countries). Out of the initial allocation 115 MSEK is proposed to be unallocated, which would enable the ICRC to flexibly add additional financial contributions to countries and regions with increased needs or that are severely underfunded. Sida must, as per the agreement, approve the ICRC suggestion on how the unallocated funds are to be allocated. An additional 10 MSEK (5 MSEK per year) is allocated to the ICRC as unallocated funding for 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Result
The ICRC is one of the worlds largest humanitarian organizations, with activities in around 100 countries. Throughout the agreement period of this contribution the ICRC has successfully responded to needs in some of the world's most difficult places, including in hard-to-reach areas across Afghanistan, Myanmar, Nigeria, South Sudan and Yemen. The ICRC was also successful in adapting their response in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, albeit with some challenges in reaching all of the planned results. Throughout the four-year activity period, the ICRC has for example: - Reached around 20 million people with food aid; - Distributed basic household items, such as blankets, mats, cooking sets and hygiene kits, to more than 20 million people; - Supported hundreds of hospitals and health facilities around the globe; - Influenced several countries to adopt or amend domestic statues to implement IHL and/or other relevant instruments; - Trained members of the military, police and non-state armed groups in IHL; - Helped arrange thousands of phone calls to inform families of the whereabouts of a detained relative; In summary, the ICRC has been successful in protecting the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence and to provide them with assistance.
The ICRC mission is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence and to provide them with assistance. The ICRC also endeavours to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles.
