Working with Nature to Protect People - STREAM

About this project

Unlocking the humanitarian potential of Nature-based Solutions Reducing disaster risk by cultivating healthy ecosystems, safe communities, and thriving businesses. This project is part of the Nile Basin Initiative, a Red Cross program aiming to use the power of nature to reduce disaster risks with communities across the Nile River Basin. Over the course of 20 years, it seeks to test and then scale nature-based solutions together with communities in four countries: Sudan, South-Sudan, Ethiopia, and Uganda. The program explicitly shifts from sectoral projects, limited in time and space, to locally-initiated experimentation that addresses underlying causes of vulnerability together with expert partners. Integrating nature in humanitarian efforts is quite a paradigm shift for the Red Cross, but one that is already well underway. By experimenting and scaling nature-based solutions in the Nile River Basin, we contribute to this paradigm shift.
