In times of crisis and disasters, ECOWEB initiates humanitarian and crisis responses promoting the Survivor and Community-led Response (SCLR) approach. The SCLR approach aims to enable the most vulnerable crisis affected population to help themselves survive and rise with dignity, uphold their rights and harness their capacity to address their emergency needs as well as the root causes of their vulnerability to crisis and disasters.
SCLR approach promotes the provision of multi-purpose cash grants for the most vulnerable and marginalized families and communities. SCLR approach ensures gender-responsive, inclusive, culture-sensitive, empowering, do-no-harm and peace-enabling humanitarian response processes. Complementation of efforts and assistance with other agencies is also being endeavored to better enable the crisis affected to address their emergency basic needs and for the recovery and rehabilitation of their damaged livelihood assets and community basic service infrastructures. Enabling the crisis affected to lead and manage their crisis response upholding dignity is also considered a psycho-social strengthening action especially for the more vulnerable affected population.
Through the approach, it is aimed that the crisis affected will be able to immediately bounce and get back and better manage its development efforts towards resilience. SCLR is an approach that ECOWEB promotes to link humanitarian, development and peace.
