ACT AppealMiddle East - MEEP21, REVISION 1Emergency PreparednessGeneva,
14 March, 2003
Possible military intervention in Iraq threatens to have devastating
consequences on an already fragile social infrastructure, with a possible
‘domino-effect’ on the immediate neighbourhood and possibly the whole
of the Middle East. The ACT Co-ordinating office and ACT members have been actively engaged
in preparedness efforts since October 2002. To be able to respond
to the potential emergency in the region, ACT Co-ordinating office
has called upon ACT members to explore how to best prepare humanitarian
assistance in the event of war. Recognising the importance of preparedness
and effective contingency planning, ACT members have mapped out their
capacities in Iraq and neighbouring countries in question and kept
their joint contingency plans updated. Some pre-positioning and stock-piling
of relief commodities has already started in Iraq and Jordan. ACT International is stepping up its planning efforts, particularly
in Iraq, to ensure that ACT members are prepared for the humanitarian
consequences of possible military activities. This revised appeal integrates ACT member-agencies’ planning efforts
at the regional level with focus on Iraq. The members seek financial
support for continued procurement and stockpiling of relief items
which would be used in the event of a war in Iraq. Middle East Council
of Churches (MECC), Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), Lutheran World Federation/Department
of World Service (LWF/DWS), ACT Netherlands/ICCO and Christian Aid
appeal to the ACT alliance to support their preparedness efforts for
what may turn into an emergency of great magnitude. Summary of Appeal Targets, Pledges/Contributions Received
