1 CARIBBEAN This Annual Report is intended for reporting on the Federation's Annual Appeals only. Appeal No /2000 Appeal Target: CHF 3,298,000 The Context May, 2001 The Caribbean is a diverse region which contains large vulnerable populations in a context of frequent exposure to natural disasters and the negative impact of economic forces. The latest reports published by the United Nations Development Programme indicate that Haiti and the Dominican Republic are the poorest countries in the region. The report shows that 21 per cent of Dominicans have no access to drinking water while 3.2 per cent live under the limit of extreme poverty (earning one dollar per day). Although the 2000 hurricane season was very active with eight hurricanes and six tropical storms affecting the Caribbean region, it was nevertheless far less destructive than the 1999 season with only two hurricanes, Debby and Keith, really threatening the region. Due to the severe damage caused in Belize by the hurricane Keith, Emergency Appeal No. 29/2000 was launched and the International Federation s regional delegation (RD) in Santo Domingo opened a sub-delegation in Belize City at the beginning of October 2000 to co-ordinate international assistance. The political situation in Haiti is still complicated. This year s electoral process was declared unclear and corrupted by international observers. In other countries, political tensions combined with socio-economic hardship to create a challenging working environment. Objectives, and Disaster Preparedness Objective 1: To improve the capacities of communities to prepare for and cope with disasters. The number of persons trained to work in communities as facilitators increased from 395 in December of 1999 to 518 at the end of Several persons were trained in Dominica under a special initiative between the Red Cross, the government and a local non-governmental organization (NGO). The strength of this activity is demonstrated by its ability to foster working relationships between the Red Cross and international agencies (such as the UN and the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance), regional agencies (Organization of American States and Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency), governments and NGOs.

2 2 The general decline in national economies had a twofold impact on the programme: in the first instance local funding levels were declining, and secondly facilitators were in several instances holding two jobs in order to meet their personal obligations. This slowed down the rate of implementation as some national societies are now experiencing difficulties in implementing project activities due to limited staff availability. Objective 2: to improve the disaster management capacity of key staff at headquarters and branch levels. One regional and six country specific workshops for senior managers were held during the year. The regional workshop was held in St. Lucia and involved participants from the sixteen regional national societies along with representatives from the branches of the British and Netherlands Red Cross Societies. Also, targeted workshops aimed at addressing specific disaster management topics were held in Belize, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and St. Kitts/Nevis. One of the goals of these workshops was to assist national societies in the development of their overall disaster plans as opposed to the hurricane preparedness plan which is accepted as the national disaster plan. This remains an area of concern as the predominant opinion seems to be that a hurricane response plan can also be used as an earthquake or volcano response plan. As a result of these training activities requests were received from the following societies and branches to have their plans upgraded: Belize, Bermuda, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Marten, Suriname, Turks and Caicos and St. Kitts/Nevis. As of December 2000 two of these plans (for Belize and St. Kitts/Nevis) were reviewed. The outstanding reviews will be conducted during During the year the formation of a Regional Intervention Team was also discussed and approved by national societies. This team will be linked to the Pan-American Disaster Response Unit (PADRU), based in Panama, and will be trained by PADRU personnel. The high cost of operating in the region continues to be a problem. The implementation of several workshops over the reporting period was only possible due to the involvement of American Red Cross and its fully funded regional delegates who had access to additional resources and facilitated the hosting of several national workshops. Objective 3: to improve logistical capacities, thereby ensuring rapid mobilization of essential relief items to meet the emergency needs of the most vulnerable. Containerized warehouses and relief supplies were delivered to national societies in Belize, Guyana and Jamaica. In Haiti, a contingency plan was developed to assist the Haitian National Red Cross in strengthening its risk and disaster management capacities. The late response of these countries in acknowledging the receipt of containers slowed the overall progress of this activity. In certain instances a time span of one year elapsed before the required reports were received. The failure of national societies to provide timely reports continued to be a problem and affected project management across the region. Objective 4: to improve the communications network between national societies, branches and the RD.

3 3 Following the passage of Hurricane Keith in Belize a radio communication system was installed at the national society in this country. The low use of the Internet by national societies continued to affect project activities as often times messages had to be followed up by fax transmissions. In several societies the only computer available is in the office of the secretary general and is not accessible by other members of staff. As a result of this, messages sent were often not received or had to be followed up with faxes or telephone calls to verify their receipt. There is need to change the entrenched attitude evident in many national societies which prevents the sharing of information and technology with all members of staff. Objective 5: to reduce vulnerability at the community level through the introduction of appropriate micro-projects. Of the five-micro projects approved in 1999, four were completed in 2000 and one was deferred to Despite the importance of this project being recognized by national societies it is not vigorously pursued by them due to their limited management capacity and staff. The high level of unemployment being experienced in several countries also affected the level of commitment by residents to undertake voluntary labour. In several instances residents refused to participate in micro-project activities unless they were paid. Health and Care Objective 1: To revitalize and strengthen the youth departments of national societies in the Caribbean to design and implement programmes addressing the vulnerabilities of youth in the region and supporting their personal development. The Guyana Red Cross Society focused on building its capacity to deal with issues at the community level. A new youth group was established in the Mocha/Arcadia community where 30 youngsters were enrolled as members/volunteers. Youth camps were held for teens and pre-teens to build the self-esteem of young people within the community; a total of 46 young people attended. Issues such as sexual harassment, drug abuse and environmental issues were dealt with. Also, 24 young people were trained in community health education. This year the youth of the Trinidad and Tobago Red Cross Society planned and implemented a regional youth camp, in which young people from seven countries (mostly from the eastern Caribbean) participated. The main areas addressed were the Convention on the Rights of the Child, disasters preparedness, the emblem, fundamental principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and the role of the Federation. Four visits were made to the Tobago branch by the youth officer to examine the rebuilding of the youth structure, tracking of volunteers and intra-island networking. A programme officer was only recruited in July 2000, due to the financial and institutional difficulties that the Barbados Red Cross Society was experiencing. Links were established in eight secondary schools, with a total of 250 members. Throughout the year youth were trained in basic first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) along with self-development and other topics.

4 4 A total of 462 young people from secondary and primary schools were enrolled in the Bahamas Red Cross Society during the year; ten teachers were also enrolled. The after school programme for underprivileged vulnerable young people/children continued to grow; the total stands at 50. Children from the school programme adopted a community project during the period. Youth development training and proper networking between national societies and their branches was not implemented due to the lack of funding. For the same reason some time was spent on helping national societies build small project proposals. This sometimes detracted from the co-ordinating and technical role. With the lack of human resources at the national society level, youth officers and co-ordinators brought on board to support the implementation of the programme were being used in several other projects thus hindering the successful implementation of this project. Time and space was still not provided to youth volunteers to exercise their full potential, and consequently the Red Cross in some countries did not attract quality or committed volunteers. Some national societies did not show adequate interest in their youth programmes. Objective 2: To promote youth HIV and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) peer education in the region using the modified model of the Jamaica Red Cross which will further build national youth structures, supported by training and communication networks. Guyana: Three workshops were executed during the period. A total of 54 young people from the Red Cross and other NGOs in the Georgetown area were trained to become peer educators. One review session was held and 26 young people were reached. The young people were also involved with psycho-social care of children living with HIV/AIDS. The Stop the Ignorance campaign was tested on World AIDS Day and continued throughout the weekend. Trinidad and Tobago: Three peer educator workshops were held during the reporting period, training 61 young people from the Red Cross, Boys Scouts, Girl Guides and community-based organizations. One review session was held and it was reported that a total of 161 young people were reached by peer educators both in schools and at the local community. Instructor trainers consistently met for monitoring and evaluation of peer educators. The peer educators prepared displays in some schools on World AIDS Day. Barbados: The national society was very instrumental in fund-raising for the programme at the local level. The first two workshops were supported by the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) and the British High Commission, the third by the local Red Cross and the regional programme. A total of 57 young people were trained from the Red Cross, Boys Scouts, Girl Guides and local community-based organizations. Bahamas: One workshop was held, training 12 young people from Red Cross groups in schools and a church community. One peer educator review session was conducted. The peer educators reached a total of 147 young people in schools. Funding continued to be a major constraint for this regional youth and HIV/AIDS programme. Therefore, some of the activities planned to achieve the programme s three objectives were not implemented. Due to the relocation of delegates, materials going out to national societies for training were delayed and the total amount of peers targeted was not achieved. Objective 3: To create and develop a Caribbean AIDS network to further support the sharing of information training and materials among Red Cross youth leaders involved in HIV/AIDS peer

5 5 education, develop long-term strategies for the prevention of HIV/AIDS among young people and support greater co-operation between Red Cross societies and with other organizations in the region. The Caribbean AIDS Network (CARAN) was launched in Jamaica during the year. Twenty participants, including seven national societies, two British Red Cross branches and one Netherlands Red Cross branch attended the first meeting. Terms of reference were developed and training in preparing and implementing HIV/STD awareness sessions targeting young people was implemented. Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago supported Barbados in conducting its peer education workshops. The network worked on its strategic plan and will be focusing on advocacy, training and some aspects of care. The plan is being prepared in the context of Strategy 2010 and the strategic plan of the UN/CARICOM regional task force. Due to lack of proper communication mechanisms, CARAN was not able to communicate effectively with national societies who also lacked the proper tools for effective communication with each other. Humanitarian Values Objective 1: To establish image building and dissemination plans at national and regional levels for the national societies in the Caribbean. During the year, this programme was especially involved in supporting the Cuban Red Cross in the development of its image and communication programmes, involving both staff and volunteers as well as local journalists. Three main workshops were developed within the national society and by other partners. These workshops were mainly focused on establishing national communication networking, developing and setting up the communication strategy and plan of action for and finally, increasing awareness of media with regard to the Cuban Red Cross community role. A series of two disaster preparedness newspaper ads were produced and distributed to all national societies and overseas branches in the Caribbean. This material was produced in order to facilitate the dissemination of hurricane safety information to the media as well as to promote Red Cross principles in the region. In addition, 5,000 English and 5,000 Spanish hurricane calendar posters were distributed to the region s national societies. Due to lack of information submitted by national societies and limited financial support, the publication of the regional newsletter Caribbean News was stopped. There is need for the establishment of a supporting mechanism in order to motivate national societies to write articles for the regional publication. A resource development strategy to maintain this important communication tool must be developed. Due to an internal crisis in the Dominican Red Cross, the communication programme was postponed. There was no information officer and the communication plan was not finished. Due to the lack of technical skills, the Caribbean web site was not updated since August However, the regional delegation in Guatemala offered its technical support on this issue. Objective 2: To develop and to strengthen regular promotional campaigns highlighting the values and community role of the Red Cross in the Caribbean. A general volunteer recruitment TV spot was produced in English and Spanish and was distributed to the national societies. At the local level, the Grenada Red Cross Society produced a series of eight Health and Safety ads. These materials were also intended for distribution to interested national

6 6 societies for local broadcasting. The Stop the Ignorance campaign about people living with HIV/AIDS was pre-launched in three eastern Caribbean countries and in the Dominican Republic. Regional and universal promotional materials were developed and distributed to national societies involved in the HIV/AIDS prevention programme. This material can be adapted to the local context as needed. The Cuban Red Cross launched its national poster contest to promote Red Cross principles and humanitarian values as well as to increase public knowledge of its role in the community. Lack of financial support to develop planned activities limited the achievements for this programme. Institutional and Resource Development Obective 1: To contribute to the maintenance of the integrity and proper functioning of the national societies in the Caribbean. During this period, the Dominican Red Cross (DRC) faced a serious institutional crisis which jeopardized its integrity and caused intervention by the government. The regional delegation actively negotiated with both the government and with the executive committee of the DRC in order to obtain guarantees of their full respect for the national law which ensures the autonomy of the society. The RD in Santo Domingo, in close co-operation with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), assisted the enlarged provisional governing board of the DRC and contributed decisively to its reunification. In Grenada and St. Lucia, assessments were made on how to strengthen governance which were supported and implemented by the national societies. The RD, together with ICRC, assisted the Haitian National Red Cross Society to organize its general assembly, to support elections in some regional committees and to encourage participation of regional committee representatives in the central committee. The Cuban Red Cross continued amending its statutes and internal regulations. The lack of financial resources significantly limited institutional development (ID) activities outside of the Dominican Republic. It was evident that ID, even though crucial in the development of national societies and their actions in the community, does not attract by itself enough donor attention, at least at the regional level. The institutional crisis at the DRC absorbed much of the RD s efforts. Objective 2: Enhance the capacity of national societies in the Caribbean to address the needs of the most vulnerable in the region. The national societies in Grenada and St. Lucia developed their mission and vision statements, strategic plans, goals and objectives at three-day strategic planning sessions attended by key stakeholders (business, ministry representatives and other NGOs). The governance of the Dominican and Haitian Red Cross Societies took the decision to update and develop their national development plans (NDPs). Cuban Red Cross is in the process of approving its national development plan. Following a presentation about the strategic planning and evaluation process during the joint ICRC/Federation regional meeting in St. Lucia, some national societies requested and received materials to update or develop their own NDPs. As part of the Regional Assistance Strategy (RAS) planning process, an evaluation questionnaire was created and delivered to the national societies. This process, which will culminate with its discussion, amendment and approval at the Caribbean Biennial Meeting planned to be take place in May 2001 in Trinidad and Tobago, will be of a participatory nature. The Federation, the Netherlands Red Cross and the Haiti National Red Cross proposed to participating national societies the creation of a branch development-oriented consortium, the main goal of which is to strengthen the operational capacity of the Haitian National Red Cross branches.

7 7 Again, the institutional crisis at the DRC prevented it from starting its NDP planning process. The informative character of the St. Lucia meeting did not allow for more intense work on the strategic planning aspects of the national societies in the Caribbean. The political situation in Haiti increased the level of uncertainty at the national society as the Haitian president, under the old statutes, can appoint the HNRC president. The Haitian government did not yet ratify new statutes that recognize the general assembly s capacity to elect its own president. The Kay Nou project in Haiti was cancelled due to the lack of sustainability and reduced impact. Objective 3: Increase the sustainability of services and structures within the national societies in the Caribbean. The resource development programme expanded its activities to development of advertising products and promotion of the Red Cross image. One method was by sponsoring local advertisements with creative designs and then distributing these images to other Red Cross entities. This method uses the local contacts of the original national societies and enables the others simply to add their own logo and run the advertisement. For instance, Grenada Red Cross Society designed and produced 30-second television spots, which can be customized by each interested national society and overseas branch for a small fee. The partnership with Courts Ltd. continued to raise money for eleven of the national societies in the Caribbean. The national societies of Antigua, St. Lucia, Grenada and Barbados and Courts Ltd. teamed up and helped produce a special holiday event featuring the Moscow Ballet. Twenty percent of the proceeds went to the national societies. Marketing the Red Cross programmes at each event proved to be very beneficial in selling raffle tickets, first aid kits and the promotion of first aid courses. Courts Ltd. is also sponsoring the Health and Safety course ads for the Grenada Red Cross. In Grenada and St. Lucia, volunteer development and management practices were adapted to reflect the changing environment and the changing needs of volunteers. This was done by approaching businesses to commit targeted staff to volunteer once a month during their normal business hours for teaching Red Cross classes. The Hotel Safety programme, pioneered by the Federation and the Jamaica Red Cross in a two-year pilot project, has the potential to generate resources for national societies through the provision of training to hotel management and staff by Red Cross personnel. Unfortunately, the programme failed to become sustainable in Jamaica. Nonetheless, the model is a promising one, and material from the Jamaican programme will be used to produce a tool kit to be distributed to other national societies and overseas branches seeking innovative resource development ideas. It was proposed that not only hotels but other commercial establishments be targeted as well in a broader Building and Occupational Safety programme. Service delivery is uneven through out the Caribbean. It is difficult to have a regional focus on any one service for a regional partner to sponsor and support. Regional corporations (CLICO, Cable and Wireless, American Airlines and Nestle) and organizations (Peace Corps and the World Bank) are still being targeted to support the Red Cross services regionally. Regional Co-operation Objective 1: Strengthen the capacity of local branches of national societies in the Caribbean to develop and implement programmes aimed at improving the condition of the most vulnerable.

8 8 In Haiti, the above-mentioned consortium set up the branch development programme as the central focus of support. The RD started the planning process of a regional programme to reduce the vulnerability of Haitian migrants through branches of the DRC and Cuban Red Cross. This programme will create activity links at the regional level with the consortium. Long internal institutional procedures to approve the consortium s memorandum of understanding were a constraint. Objective 2: Integrate the Caribbean branches of overseas national societies into existing and future regional programmes. The capacity building programme for the six overseas branches of the British Red Cross began in the second part of 2000 after visits to the branches which assessed their capacity to participate in the Federation s regional programmes. A plan of action for July to December 2000 was adopted and approved. Further strengthening of the branches institutional capacity was intended by the organization of a training of trainers course for their leadership. The British Red Cross Ideals in Action course, adapted to the Caribbean region, was organized immediately prior to the Federation s regional meeting at the end of August in Saint Lucia. During the last quarter of the year, all branches were actively involved in drafting their development plans for and their annual plans and budgets for 2001, based on Strategy The Red Cross in Turks and Caicos and Anguilla received special attention, including guidance in the process of revitalizing, restructuring and conducting future elections in keeping with their newly adopted constitutions. Efforts to integrate British branches into the regional youth programme are underway. Fact finding missions were carried out in the British Virgin Islands and Montserrat. A presentation of some of the awareness sessions was done in the two high schools (Virgin Gorda and Tortola); the responses were very positive. Country proposals were in development to seek external donors. Cayman Islands is still facing the challenge of establishing itself as a humanitarian entity, providing relevant services to the community. Objective 3: Achieve closer working relationships between the Federation s programmes and the national societies in the Caribbean on one hand and important regional and national actors on the other hand. Together with the regional delegation of the ICRC in Guatemala city, the Santo Domingo RD organized a joint regional meeting for the national societies in the Caribbean and local branches of overseas national societies in Castries, St. Lucia, during the last week of August The participating national societies supporting the region sent representatives as well. Conclusions In order to assist national societies with the development of country programmes, a system of decentralization was implemented by the RD. Four delegates (for resource development, youth and

9 9 HIV/AIDS and two DP delegates) moved to the eastern Caribbean in late 2000 and provided direct support to their host national societies while continuing their regional activities. It was expected that the delegation s links with the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency (CDERA), the UN, USAID, the PAHO and Caribbean media would be strengthened by this move, as many of these agencies are all based in Barbados. Through the development of the new RAS and operational approach, the national societies in the Caribbean will have an increased sense of ownership of Federation-promoted programmes and will also add more country specific details to the individual programmes, making them even more relevant. At the regional level, limited financial and human resources will force the RD to revise its programmes and to prioritize its deployment of support by sector and country. The RAS/CAS process will help the RD, with the active participation of the region s national societies, to identify objective criteria to undertake this prioritization. There is a general need for re-evaluation of the overall DP programme, including its community based aspect, to ensure that it effectively addresses such issues as the creation of Regional Intervention Teams, the relationship with PADRU, and links with other aspects of the regional programme such as resource development, organizational development and health. The Hotel Safety programme has potential for national societies and branches to generate income if it can be expanded to include building and occupational safety in the work place. The American, Canadian and the British Red Cross Societies all showed interest in this programme. The expertise of the Grenada Red Cross will be used in leading first aid and CPR training and the expertise of the Jamaica Red Cross will be used in leading building safety training. National society integrity problems remained one of the constraints in this region. The RD worked intensively during the second half of the year to resolve those situations which unfortunately affected the development of programme activities. The relocation of delegates and closer support to the national societies will significantly benefit their institutional development and thereby reduce the frequency of integrity problems.

10 10 1. Consolidated Response to the Appeal Annual Financial Reports Explanatory Note - This report provides a global picture on the funding situation of a specific appeal at a specific time. The cash column indicates all cash contributions channelled through the Federation, together with the balance carried forward from the previous year. Financial statements in support of the reported income are available upon request. The in-kind contributions (goods and services provided in response to the appeal objectives) are registered in a stand-alone system, based on the information provided by the respective donor. The values of these donations are based on information received from donors, and will be reported as such in the income and expenditure part of the consolidated report. Direct cash or in kind contributions made to Operating National Societies or in kind donations made to the Federation Delegations in response to the appeal are recorded as in-kind contributions in the report. 2. Balance of Funds - Cash Only This report is a summary cash statement, providing the information on the balance carried forward from the previous year, cash income (including reallocations), cash expenditure (including reallocations - ref. part III of the consolidated report), and the closing balance at the end of the year. 3. Budget Analysis / Breakdown of Expenditures This section of the report provides a comparative analysis of the total expenditures (cash and in-kind) versus the last approved budget of the appeal. The cash column reports on all expenditures booked against the Federation projects and cost centres. It relates only to the use of cash contributions received by the Secretariat for the specific appeal. Financial statements in support of the reported expenditure are available upon request. The in-kind columns (goods/services and personnel) report on the in-kind contributions donated in response to appeals, as per the information received from donors. This information is shown both as contribution and as expenditure against the specific appeal, and is consolidated, together with the cash expenses, against the appeal budget. As financial information is not always available from PNS, and for consistency reasons, a flat rate is applied for the calculation of personnel costs. The consumption rate represents the level of total expenditures (cash and in-kind) compared to the total income available (opening balance, cash and in-kind contributions), 4. Pledges vs. Contributions Attached to this financial report is the list of pledges against the respective appeal. The comparative analysis of the list of pledges and the list of actual contributions provides a clear insight into any outstanding pledges in response to the appeal. Any differences in values between the two reports are due to fluctuations in exchange rates at the time of booking and the time of reception of the contribution.
