The Fundamental Principles of the International
Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
Humanity The International Red Cross and Red
­Crescent Movement, born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on
the battlefield, endeavours, in its international and
national capacity, to prevent and alleviate human
­
suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose is to
protect life and health and to ensure respect for the
human being. It promotes mutual understanding,
friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all
peoples.
Independence The Movement is independent. The
National Societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their governments and subject to
the laws of their respective countries, must always
maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at
all times to act in accordance with the principles of
the Movement.
Impartiality It makes no discrimination as to
­nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political
opinions. It endeavours to relieve the suffering of
­individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and
to give ­priority to the most urgent cases of distress.
Unity There can be only one Red Cross or Red
Crescent Society in any one country. It must be
­
open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work
throughout its territory.
Neutrality In order to enjoy the confidence of all, the
Movement may not take sides in hostilities or e
­ ngage
at any time in controversies of a political, racial,
­religious or ideological nature.
Voluntary service It is a voluntary relief movement
not prompted in any manner by desire for gain.
Universality The International Red Cross and Red
Crescent Movement, in which all societies have equal
status and share equal responsibilities and duties in
helping each other, is worldwide.

Philippines: Typhoon Haiyan 18-month progress report
Welcome note
Eighteen months have passed since Typhoon Haiyan
(locally known as Yolanda) struck the Philippines on
8 November 2013. Among the strongest typhoons to
ever make landfall, Haiyan ripped through the
Central Visayas region with 300kph winds and heavy
rainfall, triggering floods, mudslides and storm surges
that wiped out entire coastal villages and towns.
The typhoon affected more than 16 million people,
claimed at least 6,000 lives and damaged or destroyed
1.1 million homes. More than 4 million people were
evacuated for their own safety. The scale of destruction to infrastructure, health and community facilities,
agriculture and livelihoods remains unprecedented
in the Philippines.
Given that the Philippines is one of the most disasterprone countries in the world, the Filipino people are
no strangers to adversity. With their inherent spirit
of resilience they have rallied to restore their homes
and livelihoods. The last 18 months have seen
families and communities torn apart by this disaster,
not only reassemble their lives, but also recover by
rebuilding their houses and communities. Many
families who suffered the impact of the typhoon
now have safer new homes with proper water and
sanitation facilities, and greater options for income
generation. Having gained new skill-sets through
trainings, many have better work opportunities,
and barangya (village) projects which benefit all
community members are underway. Children are
attending classes in schools with improved educational resources, and sanitation facilities. Families
have greater access to rehabilitated health amenities
that are well equipped with medical supplies.
The Philippine Red Cross, together with its network
of community-based volunteers who are spread
throughout the country, has played a key role in
achieving these outcomes. The Red Cross volunteers
continue to be the backbone of the operation. They
were on standby before the typhoon struck – ready to
respond, ready to serve. Now, well into the reco­very
period, they continue to serve communities with
selflessness and dedication, a shining example of the
Philippine Red Cross tenet: always first, always ready,
always there.
This 18-month Movement-wide report highlights the
progress and achievements made through collective
efforts of our Red Cross Red Crescent partners in
support of the Philippine Red Cross’ overall emer­
gency response and recovery plan for those affected
by Typhoon Haiyan.
My heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to our Red
Cross Red Crescent Movement partners for their
unfailing support to the Philippine Red Cross in
serving the needs of those affected. No less than
137 Participating National Societies together with
the Inter­national Federation of Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies and the International Committee
of the Red Cross have helped us in serving the most
vulnerable people in the Philippines.
My thanks also to the generous and invaluable support
from other countries, the Filipino people, and those
who have continued to support us nationally through
cash, in-kind donations and prayers. It is with your
help and encouragement that we, as a Red Cross Red
Crescent Movement, have been able to move forward
on our mandate in serving vulnerable people and
communities, and strengthening their resilience.
Thank you.

International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
Philippines: Typhoon Haiyan 18-month progress report
Foreword
While the Philippines is hit by an average of 20 major
storms per year, the country has never experienced
a disaster of Haiyan’s magnitude. Responding to this
disaster has required the Red Cross Red Crescent
Movement to use innovative approaches in order to
meet the needs of affected families and communities
in a sustainable way, to leave a lasting positive impact.
households with shelter repair assistance and 13,157
families with core shelters; assisted 58,382 households with livelihood support for greater sustainability; and repaired and re-equipped 21 medical facilities
through the rehabilitation of structures and provision of medical equipment. In addition to this, 28,000
households and 5,580 students have been reached
with hygiene promotion activities, while 7,728 volunteers and community members have received training in disaster risk reduction and are better prepared
to tackle future disasters. Both these activities not
only reduce risk but also strengthen community resi­
lience. The Movement also continues to support the
capacity development of the National Society and its
chapters through provision of equipment and trai­
ning to enable them to better meet their commitments
and achieve their mandate.
Continued coordination will be key in achieving the
Movement’s goals in catering to varied needs across
a vast geographical area. Working as one through the
Movement-wide operational framework adopted du­
ring the early stages of the operation, programmes
are being implemented maintaining the highest standards of efficiency, effectiveness and accountability.
While it will take the affected population a long
time to fully recover and programmes are met with
challenges, with the commitment and expertise of
the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement coupled with
the active participation and support of the commu­
nities, hope springs anew and families are well on
their way to restarting their lives.
The sustained and diverse contributions of the Red
Cross Red Crescent Movement towards the recovery
of families devastated by Typhoon Haiyan exhibits its
commitment to alleviate human suffering and uphold
dignity by harnessing and mobilizing the power of
humanity. Working together with communities, the
Movement has transformed countless lives, not just
of those affected by the disaster but also of its staff,
donors and volunteers.
A year and a half into the operation, the Philippine
Red Cross with the support of the International Fede­
ration of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC),
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and
Participating National Societies, has provided 40,296

International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
Philippines: Typhoon Haiyan 18-month progress report
A note on reading this report
Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) struck the Philippines with devastating
effect in November 2013. Since then through April 2015, the Philippine Red Cross has
responded to multiple meteorological, geological and man-made events, including
Typhoon Rammasun (Glenda), Typhoon Hagupit (Ruby), the threat of volcanic eruption
(Mount Mayon), and several fire incidences in urban Manila. Despite this the Haiyan
recovery operation has stayed on track. This report focuses on the outcomes of the
collective efforts of the Movement.
The Movement-wide operational framework continues to guide the recovery operation. This framework, which was agreed upon by all members of the Red Cross Red
Crescent Movement early in the operation, ensures a single concerted approach in
recovery initiatives through the sharing of information and the harmonization of
activities, providing an overview of quality and accountability.
This report comprises programmatic and financial information provided by the
Philippine Red Cross, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies (IFRC), International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the respective
Participating National Societies, reflecting a consolidated portrait of data obtained
from all parties. Programme indicators have been used to report against progress
and achievements of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement during the relief and
reco­very phases through mid-March 2015. The financial data in this report presents
an overview of the Movement’s contribution in response to Typhoon Haiyan from
8 November 2013 to 28 February 2015.
Programmatic data for this report was provided by 14 Participating National Socie­
ties, the Philippine Red Cross, IFRC and ICRC. The programmatic indicators illustrate
the key activities carried out in different sectors during the emergency relief and
recovery phases. These do not, however, reflect the complete portfolio of each Red
Cross Red Crescent Movement member, given the magnitude of this operation and
the broad spectrum of support being provided.
The programmatic indicators in this report encompass two phases of the operation:
(i) the emergency phase (8 November 2013 through 28 February 2014), and (ii) the
recovery phase (1 March 2014 onwards). In reality, however, the line between the two
phases is blurred as many activities before and after contain elements of both relief
and recovery.
Figures reported during the relief phase are largely based on Philippine Red Cross
data, given the National Society’s continuous presence throughout the operation.
This data has been used to cross-reference figures provided by other partners.

International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
Philippines: Typhoon Haiyan 18-month progress report
Data collection for the recovery phase of the operation is more clearly defined and
accurately recorded. Again, Philippine Red Cross data has been used to cross-reference figures from other partners; however, the use of more methodical and focused
data collection during this phase is helping to provide a clearer picture of reach and
impact from the recovery activities in comparison to the relief phase. Data metho­
dology continues to be refined to accommodate the evolving operational context,
and may lead to the alteration of several indicators in this report, and subsequently,
to changes in future figures reported.
The financial data reported as of 28 February 2015 shows an analysis of funds
received and spent for the operation. The financial information presented is reflective of the number of Red Cross Red Crescent Movement members reporting on it.
Unaudited financial data has been provided by the IFRC, ICRC and 29 Participa­ting
National Societies, including the Philippine Red Cross. Hence, these figures may
change, and as such, respective annual reports should be referred to for an overview
of the final financial information.
This report is divided into sections, beginning with an overview of the operation
with an emphasis on the recovery phase. Indicators on programmatic achievements
then follow with a financial overview, supplemented by annexes that provide more
detail on both programmatic and financial indicators. A list of Red Cross Red
Crescent members who have contributed to the Typhoon Haiyan relief and recovery
effort is included in annex 3.

The Philippine Red Cross was among the first responders to assist people affected
by Typhoon Haiyan, and with the call for international support, the entire Red Cross
Red Crescent Movement came together to boost the National Society’s endeavour
in responding to the disaster. This included food, emergency shelter, healthcare and
medical services, access to safe water, improved sanitation and essential household
needs.
More than a year into the operation, the Movement’s focus is now on achieving longterm goals. Many affected households have rebuilt their homes through shelter repair assistance, while others have worked together with Movement partners to build
new safer houses for their families. Together with awareness raising and orientation
in build back safer techniques, these households now have homes which will more
readily withstand the onslaught of storms and floods.
Livelihood grants have enabled those who lost the means to earn a living due to the
disaster with the possibility to start up income generation activities. The youth are
starting their individual training and enterprise development to acquire highly
marketable skills. This will broaden their options and present them with more work
opportunities in the long run.
The rehabilitation and re-equipping of health facilities in rural areas damaged by
Haiyan will enhance household access to essential medical and health services.
Classrooms and water and sanitation facilities in schools that were used as evacuation centres during the storm, are being rehabilitated. This will not only provide
school-going children with better amenities but also serve as evacuation centres for
families seeking refuge in case of future disasters.
In the provinces of Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Cebu, Iloilo, Leyte, Palawan, Samar and
Eastern Samar the establishment of 659 barangay (village) recovery committees
to date has contributed directly to the reco­
very planning, beneficiary selection
process, prioritization of activities, and general oversight of the programmes. These
committees have helped ensure an integrated approach to service delivery.
The Philippine Red Cross continues to play the lead in Red Cross Red Crescent service delivery with the support of the IFRC, ICRC and Participating National Societies.
Using the Movement-wide Operational Framework, all interventions are coordinated
to ensure a harmonized approach to ensure duplication is avoided and gaps, covered.

Safety of community members is the
primary concern for all Red Cross Red

When Typhoon Haiyan ravaged central Philippines in 2013, it left more than a million
families homeless. Some sought refuge in evacuation centres while others moved in
with relatives or friends. As the situation unfolded, it became clear that shelter was
one of the most pressing concerns for the affected communities.
During the relief phase of the operation, the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement
collectively provided emergency shelter to more than 145,000 households. After 18
months, the Movement has reached 40,296 households with shelter repair assistance
in the form of conditional cash grants and 38,401 households received corrugated
galvanized iron sheets. More than 13,000 households have also been provided with
core shelters that are made of durable materials and constructed using build back
safer techniques. Some households have been relocated to safer sites.
Safety is the primary concern for all Red Cross Red Crescent shelter-related activities
that are being implemented. Building safer shelters, out of harm’s way, has guided
the Movement’s shelter response. Communities and carpenters are also learning
ways to build safer shelters, which ultimately ensures their safety and strengthens
resilience.
To give households a sense of ownership, communities are being actively engaged in
the shelter reconstruction process, including decision-making. This is enabling the
communities to prioritize their own needs. Hygiene is one of the key concerns since
10

sanitation facilities were damaged or destroyed by the typhoon. The Movement has
responded by constructing latrines for more than 4,500 core shelters, most of which
are fitted with septic tanks.
The integration of water and sanitation in shelter activities has enabled the
Movement to not only provide those affected with dignified and resilient shelters, but
also reduce health risks for thousands of families.
A safe and cosy home
Save a few pieces of clothing, Rosalinda lost every­
thing she had – both her house as well as the kiosk
which was the family’s only source of income were
completely destroyed.
Even though they were left without money to rebuild
their home and had to seek shelter with relatives for
several months, Rosalinda and her family remained
positive – they were lucky to have survived.
As part of the ECHO project implemented in consor­
tium with the Philippine Red Cross, German Red
Cross, Finnish Red Cross and Spanish Red Cross,
more than 3,000 houses have been built so far.
Rosalinda’s family is among the many families who
fit the criteria to receive a house, mainly because
they have small children.
The 18 square metre houses, like the one Rosalinda’s
family has received, are made of coco-lumber and
bamboo. The typhoon tore down many trees. The
Red Cross has salvaged this wood and used it for
rebuilding houses. Applying build back safer princi­
ples, the new houses are elevated on concrete poles
to avoid flood damages and the frame are strong
enough to withstand future typhoons. This was
proven in early-December 2014 when devastating
Typhoon Hagupit followed the track of Haiyan.
Rosalinda and her family find their newly built home
very cosy.
Red Cross Red Crescent is
using locally available materials,
empowering communities, families
and individuals to build back their
lives, and their livelihoods in a
sustainable manner.

Many among the 16 million people affected by
Typhoon Haiyan not only lost their homes, loved
ones and property, but the capacity to provide for the
daily needs of their families. The typhoon disrupted
economic activities in agriculture, livestock, fishing
and aquaculture. Most of the affected households
relied on these sectors for income.
Noel Celis/IFRC
During the relief phase, unconditional cash grants
were provided to support households to cover immediate needs. More than 91,000 households were
supported, some of whom used part of the grant to
start income generation activities such as smallscale fishing or farming. Men and women were mobilized for clearing debris and remunerated for their
work. Recovery committees, composed of community members were set up to advise and oversee the
implementation of activities, and to allow for the active participation of communities in their recovery
process.
More than 58,000
households have received
livelihoods assistance which
comprises a conditional cash
grant. Many recipients of
these grants have invested
in livestock or small business
enterprises.
The livelihood initiative comprises a range of approaches: household livelihoods
assistance through conditional cash grants; skills training and enterprise development for youth; and community-managed livelihoods projects for overall communi­
ty benefit. The Movement has reached more than 58,000 households with livelihoods
assistance which comprises a conditional cash grant to enable families to kick-start
their ventures. Many recipients of these grants have invested in livestock or small
business enterprises. In collaboration with accredited vocational institutes, skills
training and enterprise development capacity building for individuals is underway
to provide them with market skills that are in demand. This will enable them to
broaden their job opportunities.
For the community-managed livelihood projects, the National Society is now reviewing and assisting in the development of proposals for community-based projects. A
community-based participatory approach guides this phase to ensure that projects
are compatible with existing skills, resources and capacities of the respective communities.
The Movement’s approach in the livelihoods programme helps foster a renewed
sense of hope reassuring families that they can regain their independence and sustain their households and communities.

Conditional cash grants have facilitated the self-recovery process of individuals,
families, groups and communities who have been affected by the disaster.
In squash there’s cash:
Micro-enterprise and other livelihoods
Liberty Gonzaga, and her husband Eduardo live
with their 15-year-old son and 4-year-old grandson
in a make-shift shelter in Barangay Zaragosa,
Municipality of Balasan, Province of Iloilo.
Liberty is one among the 127 families from the
barangay who has benefitted from a conditional
cash grant of 10,000 Philippine pesos (PHP) from
the Philippine Red Cross-British Red Cross microenterprise and other livelihoods programme.
Liberty has been engaged in vegetable farming since
1999. Prior to Typhoon Haiyan, she used to sow
seeds given to her by friends and neighbours. She
would sell the produce in the markets in Balasan
and Estancia and earn an income of PHP 700 per
week. Though their income was small, there was a
sense of relief – they could support their daily needs.
The typhoon greatly damaged the family’s crops.
Liberty had to take a loan to buy gardening tools
and seeds to restart with vegetable farming. They
started growing and selling taro. However, a large
percentage of the income from the sale of the
produce went into paying the interest on the loan,
leaving the family with little to sustain their daily
needs and their son’s education.
She then became aware of the Red Cross’ microenterprise and other livelihoods programme and
applied for a grant. Liberty’s family was provided
with a variety of seeds which enabled her to grow
vegetables such as squash, gourd, ladies’ fingers,
tomatoes, string beans, onion leaves, chillies
among others. From the produce she sells at the
Balasan market she now earns between PHP 1,200
to PHP 2,000 a week, which is sufficient to cover
the family’s needs.
Liberty and her husband work hard together to
ensure the success of their vegetable farm. Eduardo
tills the soil, waters the plants and harvests them
while Liberty sells the produce. From the vegetables
they grow, squash has provided good returns since
they can harvest these on a weekly basis. Liberty
says, “I can now support our needs, including my
son’s education. I no longer need to apply for loans
to survive. We are able to consistently put savings
in our micro-savings group”. She also sells ice
candy on consignment basis which generates an
additional income of around PHP 600 a week.
“The livelihoods assistance extended by the Red
Cross after Typhoon Haiyan was a huge help for
us”, she shares.
Philippine Red Cross is also providing core shelters
to families who lost their homes following Typhoon
Haiyan. Liberty’s family is also a recipient of a core
shelter that is currently under construction.

The health programme aims to rehabilitate and provide
66 health facilities with essential medical equipment and
supplies. Thus far, 21 facilities have been rehabilitated
and equipped. Some of these facilities are in remote
areas and will for the first time have dedicated rooms for
clinics, overnight stays and women in labour.

People reached with psychosocial support
The enormous need for medical attention and functional health services was clear
in the aftermath of the typhoon. Numerous rural health facilities were severely
damaged by Haiyan, leaving these non-operational, and those in dire need without
access to vital medical care.
The Philippine Red Cross quickly responded by deploying their volunteers, staff
and equipment to augment what was left of local health capacities. Through the
emergency phase, the Philippine Red Cross was able to provide more than 28,000
people with immediate medical attention. More than 40,000 hygiene kits were
distributed. Aside from addressing the immediate needs during the emergency phase,
the Movement is also committed to supporting communities in reducing health risks
and improving healthcare capacities.
The health programme aims to rehabilitate and provide 66 rural health facilities with
essential medical equipment and supplies. Of the set target, 21 facilities have already
been rehabilitated and equipped. Another 26 facilities are currently undergoing
rehabilitation. The Red Cross Red Crescent Movement is also working together with
government and other partners to rehabilitate and re-equip health facilities.
The Community-based health and first aid (CBHFA) approach is also being implemented for disease prevention, health promotion, first aid training, and disaster

preparedness and response. Implemented by chapters and engaging local communities
through simple tools adapted to local contexts, the programme enables communities
to take charge of their own health by identifying priority health issues and developing
action plans for disease prevention and a contingency plan for response in case of
an emergency.
Through CBHFA, 2,223 community health volunteers from 100 communities have
been trained to support health programmes and augment primary healthcare
services in their communities. Mobilizing volunteers and the Philippine Red Cross
personnel, more than 40,000 individuals have been provided with health services,
health promotion seminars and health referrals. The National Society has also
assisted more than 700 malnourished children through a feeding programme and
provided prenatal check-up for 660 expectant mothers across the Visayas region. The
Red Cross Red Crescent Movement has reached more than 5,500 older people and
close to 21,000 children with community-based health activities.
With an informed, trained and prepared population who can take charge of their
own health and fully functioning medical facilities that are able to provide quality
healthcare, the Movement continues to lay a sustainable foundation for healthy and
resilient communities.
Using simple tools adapted
to local contexts, the CBHFA
approach enables communities
to take charge of their own
health by identifying priority
health issues and developing
action plans for disease
prevention.
“In November 2013, Typhoon Yolanda hit and
severely devastated our country, and my home in
Daanbantayan, Cebu. The typhoon destroyed our
home and everything we had. We were terrified of
the strong winds, and felt very helpless. I saw our
house broken into pieces. I couldn’t believe what
was happening. I saw a lot of houses being des­
troyed, trees were falling down, and properties
damaged. During the typhoon, my family couldn’t
do anything, but to take cover under a table, cry,
and call the presence of the Lord. We didn’t have
food to eat, clothes to wear, water to drink”, shares
Juvy Canales.
“Through the community-based health and first aid
training we had, I gained knowledge about health
and how to care for people. I have also learned
about giving first aid to victims, and about safety. I
have also learned more about the diseases, illnesses
and other health issues my community is facing.
There was also a discussion about how we are
going to prevent these health issues, like cleaning
our environment and proper waste segregation”,
adds Juvy.
Philippine Red Cross
Making communities
healthier
The Philippine Red Cross, in collaboration with the
Japanese Red Cross Society, is working towards
empowering communities to take charge of their
own health. By using simple tools, adapted to the
local context, communities are being mobilized to
address and prioritize their health needs. The
community-based health and first aid approach
goes beyond simply teaching people first aid
techniques. It also addresses health needs related
to maternal, newborn and child health, urban health
risks, malaria, water and sanitation and hygiene
promotion, among many others.

families; repaired and restored 1,493 water sources and systems; and cleared
almost 2,000 cubic metres of debris. To combat the spread of disease, the Movement
is supporting the rehabilitation of water and sanitation facilities in communities,
and conducting hygiene promotion activities.
The water, sanitation and hygiene promotion programme has four components:
hygiene promotion; construction of household latrines linked to core shelter;
construction of water and sanitation facilities in communities; and school-based
water and sanitation initiatives.
The participatory hygiene and sanitation transformation approach is being used to
engage communities and promote good hygiene practices. Trained Philippine Red
Cross volunteers have been mobilized, and have reached 28,000 households using
the participatory hygiene and sanitation transformation approach. Implementation
of hygiene promotion activities is ongoing.
Construction of household latrines is a part of core shelter for selected households
to ensure that families have access to sanitation facilities. This in turn will help
reduce risk and vulnerabilities of family members. More than 4,500 household
latrines have been built thus far.
The typhoon also damaged schools, health facilities and community buildings that
are generally used as evacuation centres during disasters. The Red Cross Red
Crescent Movement is working with government authorities and communities in

rehabi­litating damaged water and sanitation facilities in these buildings. This helps
ensure that people who occupy and use these buildings have access to sanitation
facilities and the capacity to accommodate evacuees during emergencies. Of the 57
schools targeted, water and sanitation facilities have been constructed in 11 schools.
The child hygiene and sanitation transformation approach is being used to promote
good personal hygiene practices among school-going children. Philippine Red Cross
volunteers have reached more than 1,300 students in raising awareness about good
hygiene and sanitation practices.
The Movement’s focus to mainstream hygiene promotion using parti­cipatory, socially inclusive and context-driven initiatives continues to enhance water and sanitation
as pillars of public health.
A new lease on life
Erlinda had been living in the mountainous village
of Mabini in Basey, Samar, all her life but it was the
first time she experienced a typhoon of such
strength. Although no one in their village died during
the typhoon, she went through the harrowing ordeal
of not knowing where her son was, or if he were still
alive. “He was in Tacloban at that time to work as a
construction worker. For days, we didn’t hear any
news about him, only that many people died in
Tacloban. I felt helpless and kept crying, praying”. It
took a week before her son reached home after
walking at least 25km from Tacloban as he didn’t
have money.
Her husband earned a living from planting rice,
cassava and bananas that were also washed out by
the typhoon. It took a month before they were able
to gather enough scrap wood and bamboo to build
a temporary house. “If not for the Red Cross, we
wouldn’t be able to rebuild a house as sturdy as this
because we are still struggling with the income from
farming. It was not like before, most of the crops are
for our own consumption. We are only able to sell a
small portion of the produce”. The Del Montes were
one of 4,462 families who benefited from the
ICRC-Philippine Red Cross recovery programme
for those affected by Typhoon Haiyan in Samar. The
ICRC, with the Philippine Red Cross, focused its
response on this island that is partly affected by
armed violence, and where it has been present for
years supporting the communities.
A year after Haiyan, Typhoon Hagupit hit Samar
island. Erlinda and her family again moved up the
hill and took shelter in a bumbong but was relieved
to come back to a house still standing, as Hagupit
was also of much lesser strength.
In 2015, individual sanitation facilities will be added
for all 4,462 constructed shelters.
Erlinda’s family couldn’t
be more thankful now
that their house is
complete. “Before, we
used a shallow hole
dug near the house
which had sacks and
wood as walls. Now,
it is so much better –
cleaner and more
comfortable – with this
latrine”.
Construction of household latrines
is a part of core shelter for selected
households. To ensure that families
have access to sanitation facilities,
latrines have been included in
more than 4,500 core shelters
so far.

“At the height of the typhoon [Haiyan], we hid under
a bumbong – a makeshift shelter on top of the hill.
It was a roof my husband put together from coconut
leaves along the streets. We slept on the ground”,
recalled Erlinda del Monte, a mother of three. “When
it was over, we went down and saw that there was
nothing left of our house. It has been washed out
with most of our belongings”, she added.

Typhoon Haiyan caused considerable destruction to schools and other educa­tional
facilities. The destruction costs amounted to a staggering 2.3 billion Philippine
pesos (PHP). Close to 3,200 schools and day care centres were damaged or destroyed,
leaving over a million pre-school children and those of school-going age without a
place to study, and some 31,600 school teachers without a place to teach. Under its
Annual Poverty Indicator Survey, the National Statistics Office reports that out-ofschool youth account for 16 per cent of the Philippine population; a figure that could
escalate with the widespread damage to educational facilities.
In the wake of the disaster, classes were held in open air, under trees and in damaged
buildings. Hence, bringing children and youth back to a conducive learning environment as well as the rehabilitation of their schools after serving as evacuation centres
for thousands of affected people, was seen as a priority. The Red Cross Red Crescent
Movement has thus far rehabilitated or constructed 201 classrooms. Up to 2,965
students have also been provided with school kits.
Children’s health directly affects their learning performance. In support of rehabilitation of the school-goers themselves, psychosocial support programmes such as
play therapy have been undertaken to facilitate healing and recovery of students.
In order to improve their hygiene, 5,580 students have been reached using the child
hygiene and sanitation transformation approach. This approach has been integrated
into school programmes. Disaster risk reduction initiatives will be also assimilated
into school curricula, to raise awareness and better prepare students for potential
disasters.

Getting children back to school
When Typhoon Haiyan struck central Philippines, the
Red Cross Society of China was quick to reach out
to affected communities.
better suited to classrooms rather than housing”,
said Mr Wang, Director of the Relief and Health
Department, Red Cross Society of China.
The typhoon damaged more than 3,200 schools
across the region, leaving teachers and students
with no supplies and no classrooms from which
to work. In an effort to get students back into
education, the Red Cross Society of China agreed
to partner with the Philippine Red Cross in building
temporary classrooms for more than 8,500 students
across Leyte province.
By the third week of January – interrupted by
frequent heavy downpours that hampered
construction – the team of 35 Chinese engineers
and volunteer construction workers from Philippine
Red Cross were putting the finishing touches to the
last of the classrooms. Chinese engineers trained
the volunteers – some of them school students – to
assemble the classrooms, which typically take three
days to erect.
A vessel was loaded with enough building material
to fill 40 containers and sent to Tacloban for
the initial construction phase of 166 temporary
classrooms in 20 schools. The aim was to complete
these in time for the new school year that started in
January 2014.
Ronette Bonifacio/Philippine Red Cross
“Originally, we had thought to build temporary shelters
for homeless people, but it became obvious that
the type of prefabricated structures we had were
“Classrooms had to be sited close to the existing
school but we had to take into account risk
mitigation”, says Mr Wang. “This meant we could
not build on low-lying land prone to flooding. Even
though they are temporary, the classrooms will
need to last for at least five years. I’m confident they
could last for ten, if necessary”.
Following the disaster,
classes were held in open air,
under trees and in damaged
buildings. Hence, bringing
children and youth back
to a conducive learning
environment was seen
as a priority.

The 2012 World Disasters Report ranks the Philippines as the third most disaster-prone
country in the world. Due to its geographical location, the country is highly exposed
to natural calamities.
The Government of the Philippines formed the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management Act of 2010, which provides for the development of policies and
plans, and the implementation of actions and measures pertaining to all aspects of
disaster risk reduction and management.
As an auxiliary to the government, Philippine Red Cross is committed to strengthening
its disaster risk reduction initiatives through its Red Cross 143 programme. The Red
Cross 143 programme is designed to have one community leader with 44 volunteers.
The team is trained in three aspects: disaster preparedness and response; health and
welfare; and voluntary blood donation. The team is always ready to provide rapid
response in the event of a disaster.
The Philippine Red Cross is committed to building community resilience by
implementing disaster risk reduction activities through its trained staff and
volunteers. For the emergency phase of the Typhoon Haiyan response, more than
8,000 volunteers were mobilized to support the affected population. Considering the
wide network of Philippine Red Cross with its 102 chapters and an estimated one
million volunteers across the country, the imperative to enhance capacity for disaster
response as well as awareness of disaster risk reduction for all chapters and
volunteers is evident.
Build back safer techniques are strongly advocated and followed in the communities
where the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement supports construction of shelter, water,
sanitation, and educational facilities. Another initiative to enhance community
resilience in the face of disaster is the school-based disaster risk reduction
programme. Here, school communities including principals, teachers, students and
student-volunteers train together for disaster preparedness and risk reduction. The
lessons learnt are then incorporated in the school curriculum.
An average of 20 tropical storms, including typhoons, hit the Philippines every year.
This high frequency of typhoons together with threats of other hazards such as
earthquakes, floods, landslides, storm surges and potential volcanic eruption,
highlights the urgent need for risk mitigation in order to prevent and alleviate
human suffering. The Red Cross Red Crescent Movement with its experience and
expertise is well-placed to support this need.

Accountability
The Philippine Red Cross has installed drop boxes in the communities being covered
under Typhoon Haiyan operation. This is one of the innovative approaches to ensure
that the National Society receives feedback from its beneficiaries thus helping the
organization to improve the services being provided to the recipients.
Accountability and transparency to stakeholders continue to be a vital part of the
overall Haiyan recovery operation. In the first quarter of 2014, the IFRC carried out
an independent real-time evaluation to gauge the effectiveness of support to the
Philippine Red Cross, focusing on overall performance of the response. An evaluation
of the psychosocial support components of the emergency response, including the
role of emergency response units during the relief phase of the operation, was also
carried out.
Now, further into the recovery phase, community engagement and participation
­remain a vital part of all stages of planning, implementation and evaluation in all
sectors, i.e. shelter, water and sanitation, livelihoods, and health. Through b
­ arangay
recovery committees and active participation of community members ­themselves,
meaningful engagement with the Philippine Red Cross and partners takes place
through assessments, prioritization of interventions, identification of existing
­concerns, and active participation in addressing community issues.
A comprehensive independent mid-term review is currently being planned, s­ panning
both the emergency and recovery phases of the Haiyan operation. This review will
appraise the joint action of stakeholders, take stock of achievements, document best
practices, obtain stakeholder feedback, and capture lessons learned to date to inform
alterations to ongoing activities and future response. Outcomes from the review will
also inform high-level decision-making for the operation.
22
International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
Philippines: Typhoon Haiyan 18-month progress report
On a smaller but crucial scale, sectorial intervention to engage with ­communities,
garner feedback, monitor processes and outcomes, and inform adjustments to
programming, are already being carried out. These include: post-distribution
­
monitoring and evaluation of shelter repair assistance; active discussions with
­
­barangay health committees and community members in prioritizing health
­concerns and how to address these issues; impact surveys, and stories of change
from ­
recipients of shelter and livelihood interventions. People reached are also
­encouraged to give input and feedback through the barangay recovery committees to
the Philippine Red Cross chapters, who help facilitate appropriate action. Further to
these, end-line r­ eviews of programmes are planned, together with lessons learnt and
case studies that will further inform future emergency and development planning.
At present, the Philippine Red Cross is in the process of collating and standardizing
existing monitoring and evaluation tools, templates and workflows in order to build
a standard toolkit that can serve the Haiyan operation and future programmes. This
is being supported by the IFRC and in-country Participating National Societies.
Monitoring and evaluation for accountability
Since October 2014, the monitoring and evaluation
team in the municipalities of Ajuy and Balasan, is
the first dedicated team of its kind in the Haiyan
recovery programme. Prior to this, each sector had
been implementing their projects and carrying out
their own monitoring and evaluation activities. The
team includes a team leader, technical project
assistant, a data management assistant and six
monitoring and evaluation volunteers.
The volunteers underwent one-day training that
included an induction to the Red Cross history and
principles, with emphasis on neutrality; background
information on the Haiyan recovery programme;
orientation of monitoring and evaluation principles,
practice, and tools; and point-by-point discussion
and translation to Hiligaynon of the post-distribution
monitoring tool for the shelter repair cash grant.
Given there were already more than 70 regular and
on-call volunteers being engaged in various
programmes, the team decided to train volunteers
who would be dedicated to monitoring and
evaluation related activities.
The team is pursuing three main directions vis-à-vis
accountability: transparency, participation, and
feedback. One of the main strategies being
implemented is the complaints and response
mechanism. All staff and volunteers working on the
ground are instructed to accommodate questions,
comments, and complaints from communities. A
complaints desk is a regular feature of all distribution
activities. A dedicated hotline has been established
to enable communities to call or text any queries
and/or complaints they may have. All staff and
volunteers have a laminated card with the hotline
number attached to their ID card so that they can
easily share the number with any community
member. The complaints log is updated weekly,
and summarized by location and sector, to guide
relevant action. Complaints are addressed within
ten days. Where needed the local community
(barangay officials and barangay recovery
committee) are engaged in addressing concerns,
especially regarding any queries and/or complaints
related to the selection process for who is or is not
entitled to a shelter.
Monitoring findings are being applied to improve
programme delivery. This includes enhancing the
design of the core shelter, considering relevant
courses for the marketable skills scholarship,
­­re-engaging safe shelter awareness champions in
the communities, among others.
The team, which is now a member of the newlyformed Monitoring and Evaluation Working Group,
continues to work with various sectors.

1 Financial reporting was received in local currencies and converted to CHF, which is the official reporting currency of the IFRC.
The foreign exchange rates used were derived in the following way: an average exchange rate, covering the period from 8
November 2013 to 28 February 2015 was calculated to translate the income and expenditure; and the rate as of 28 February
2015 is used for projected expenditure. The summary table of rates used is included in the financial reporting methodology
notes (refer to Annex 2).
2 Twenty-nine Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies, including the Philippine Red Cross, have submitted financial
information for this report. These National Societies are from: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, Monaco, Myanmar, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore,
Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom and the United States of America. The financial information in
this report combines unaudited data from these National Societies, the ICRC and the IFRC secretariat who have conducted
relief and recovery support through the Philippine Red Cross.

Annex 2. Notes and methodology regarding
presentation of combined financial data
1. The combined income and expenditure data in this report was generated based
on unaudited financial data collected from the IFRC secretariat, ICRC and the 29 Red
Cross and Red C
­ rescent ­National Societies. The data presented in this report covers
the period from 8 ­November 2013 to 28 February 2015. The method developed to
obtain financial data considered the flows of income and expenditure and eliminated
multiple counting (within the Red Cross Red Crescent network).
2. This report provides a combined cumulative portrait of Red Cross Red Crescent
Movement’s financial information. All reports received from the Red Cross and Red
Crescent National Societies and organizations, IFRC and ICRC, used to generate
this collective portrait, reflects data through 28 February 2015, with the following
­exceptions: 19 Red Cross or Red Crescent National Societies that have not submitted
updated data for this reporting period.
3. Included in the reporting of income are in-kind goods and services (non-cash
contributions). Due to variations in the way that in-kind goods are treated by Red
Cross Red Crescent Movement members, the value of income and expenditure r­ elated
to in-kind goods and services (non-cash contributions) may not be fully ­represented
in this consolidation, due to the different accounting treatments of these non-cash
items. As a result, the report possibly under-reports the income and expense v
­ alues
for these in-kind goods and services. However, these values are ­estimated to be
small, and do not have an impact on the overall report.
4. The exchange rates used to combine the financial data during this round of
­reporting are reflected in the table below.

5. Some Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies and organizations report
­operating on a cash accounting basis, while others work on an accrual basis. Cash
basis means that the reported financial income and expenditure include only
­income received and expenditure paid at 28 February 2015. Accrual basis means
that the ­reported financial income and expenditure include all income received and
receivable and expenditure paid or payable as of 28 February 2015.
6. Treatment of interest income: Each Red Cross or Red Crescent National S
­ ociety
or organization’s treatment of interest earned on donations is governed by their
own financial policies. In cases where interest is not allocated back to the Haiyan
­operation, Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies report interest being ­allocated
to f­uture international and emergency operations or to general headquarters
­operations.
7. The financial reporting has been restricted to seven categories. Each Red Cross
Red Crescent National Society and organization has its own, unique financial
­accounting and coding structures. Therefore, for the purpose of consolidating the
financial figures, the data were simplified. The following categories and definitions
have been used for the classification of expenditure
