• The National Society also benefitted from Japanese Red Cross support to conduct National
Society Development activities, which supported staff capacity, including in emergency needs
assessment and planning, and cash and voucher assistance.
• The funds were also used to refurbish, maintain and equip the National Society ambulance in
an effort to better deliver services to those in need.
• Following a tropical depression, where the central region of Mahé experienced flooding of one
of its largest rivers located in the vicinity of a residential area, known as Corgate Estate, the
National Society conducted a rapid assessment. As a result, it presented families in need with
food packages that contained rice, sugar, oil, lentils, tea, powdered milk, oats, salt and other
basics for a period of three days.
• Seychelles Red Cross conducted a comprehensive review of its disaster risk reduction
strategies and as a result, follow-up actions targeted volunteer empowerment and training in
disaster preparedness and would require the review of the National Society Disaster Policy
and contingency plan.
• Seychelles Red Cross is in the process of reviewing its Red Cross Act to better reflect the
expansion of its humanitarian mandate.
