Vice Minister Emanuela Del Re held a video conference with President Francesco Rocca and Jagan Chapagain, Secretary-General of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (IFRC). “Italy and IFRC have a consolidated, robust and forward-looking partnership” – said the Vice Minister – “The world is better thanks to your work.<\/p>\n
“Preventive action” was one of the topics discussed during the meeting to address the humanitarian consequences of climate change and extreme weather events: “a strategy at the core of Italian humanitarian action, especially in Africa”. “Climate change and extreme weather events have a huge negative impact on food security. Italy, therefore, has promoted a Food Coalition at FAO to create synergies, especially in Africa,” Del Re recalled.<\/p>\n
“Localization is also a priority in our global humanitarian agenda”, – continued the Vice Minister. “COVID-19 has shown that local actors are the ones who can respond more promptly and effectively. We believe that the involvement of local communities in needs-analysis and monitoring activities is vital to our people-and need-based approach”. Del Re then agreed on the importance of enhancing the value of volunteering, a sector in which Italy has a remarkable tradition with more than 6 million people engaged in voluntary work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vice Minister Emanuela Del Re held a video conference with President Francesco Rocca and Jagan Chapagain, Secretary-General of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (IFRC). “Italy and IFRC have a consolidated, robust and forward-looking partnership” – said the Vice Minister – “The world is better thanks to your work. “Preventive action” […]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[31,37,399],"class_list":["post-1560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comunicati","tag-africa","tag-covid-19","tag-vice-ministri-e-sottosegretari-precedenti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1560\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
