Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has featured among the partners with the highest implementation in the mid-year report of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Shelter Cluster Yemen.
Rima Al-Khatib, relief officer at QRCS’ representation office in Yemen, said, “QRCS’ interventions focus on the activities with maximum benefit for beneficiaries, while complying with international humanitarian standards and considering the work environment. Priorities of work include transparency with beneficiaries and accountability among stakeholders, beneficiaries and the organization. In its development projects, QRCS takes into consideration the issue of gender and supports continuity in overlapping areas, to ensure no impact on beneficiaries upon the closure of projects.”
Mohamed Al-Qudsi, follow-up and evaluation officer at QRCS office in Yemen, commented, “This selection is the product of great efforts from our personnel, who spend most of their time carrying out shelter projects in many humanitarian tracks and inaccessible areas. QRCS pays great attention to collecting accurate and correct data, is committed to submitting timely results, and has active participation within the national shelter cluster and hubs.”
Year-to-date, QRCS has seven completed and ongoing shelter projects, with a total budget of approximately QR19 million, to meet the basic shelter needs of 132,000 beneficiaries from poor and displaced families in the most affected parts of Yemen.
