Presentation of TGH

"Actor in a sustainable and shared solidarity"

Born in 1994 from the desire to develop a cross-disciplinary and sustainable expertise, TGH is an International Solidarity Organization designing and implementing emergency, post-emergency and development programmes in collaboration with national and international partners (local CBOs, line ministries) through the identification and mobilization of local skills and resources.

Its action is based on a professional and highly interactive operating mode including several areas of expertise within a comprehensive approach: the programs fall within the fields of water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), civil engineering (Shelter), food security, rural development (Livelihood), socio-educational and psychosocial (Protection). In 2016, its committed teams operate in 11 countries and manage 65 programs.

Context

The Syrian conflict will complete its fifth year with no rapid end in sight. It has torn apart families, displacing more than 11 million individuals: more than 7 million inside the country and more than four million who have fled the conflict in search of safety in neighboring countries, including Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt and Iraq, and further afield in Europe (507,421 persons by the end of September 2015). While Kurdistan Region of Iraq is still hosting around 240 000 Syrians, Iraq has seen major displacement of an estimated three million persons within its borders due to the advance of ISIS and subsequent fight to push them out of Iraq.

The Kurdistan Region of Iraq, hosting 97% of the Syrian refugees within Iraq, is also now host to some one million internally displaced persons, constituting a 25% population increase. Furthermore, the KR-I continues to share frontlines of armed conflict in the “disputed” Iraqi territories since the 25^th September Kurdish independence referendum and faces a budgetary crisis which presents serious challenges in the access to services (e.g. education) for displaced and host community populations.

Presentation of the mission

In 2013, TGH reopened a mission in Kurdistan and conducted 3 projects in Erbil: WASH in schools, Winterization distribution, Education and psychosocial support.

"Actor in a sustainable and shared solidarity"

Founded in 1994, TGH is a French international solidarity organization based in Lyon. The association designs and implements emergency, rehabilitation and development programs in the following sectors: water, hygiene and sanitation, civil engineering, food security and rural development, socio-educational and psychosocial. TGH is currently operating in 11 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

Context

During the year 2014, the humanitarian situation in Iraqi Kurdistan further deteriorated. For many months, Iraq has been plunged into an armed conflict opposing Iraqi and Peshmerga forces to jihadist fighters of the Islamic State. The conflict caused over 11,000 civilians casualties in 2014, and resulted in massive displacements of populations fleeing conflict zones. Currently 2.6 million Iraqis are still displaced within the country among which more than a million are located in the Kurdistan region of Iraq (KR-I). This comes in addition to the 240 000 Syrian refugees settled in KR-I, and regularly continuing to arrive.

The recent offensive on Mosul city brings a major change in the humanitarian context since thousands of people are fleeing the city and the area. This displacement of population requires a complex and large scale multisector humanitarian response.

Présentation de TGH

"Acteur d'une solidarité durable et partagée"

Créée en 1994, Triangle Génération Humanitaire, association française de solidarité internationale basée à Lyon, élabore et met en œuvre des programmes d'urgence, de réhabilitation et de développement dans les domaines de l'eau, de l'hygiène et de l'assainissement, du génie civil, de la sécurité alimentaire et du développement rural, du socio-éducatif et du psychosocial. TGH travaille actuellement dans 10 pays d’Afrique, d’Asie, d’Europe et du Moyen-Orient.

Contexte

Considérée comme l’un des pays les plus pauvres au monde (classé 180ème sur 186 par le PNUD en 2012, 62% de la population y vit avec moins de 1,25 USD par jour), la République centrafricaine (RCA) traverse la crise humanitaire la plus grave depuis son indépendance en 1960.

Suite au coup d’Etat du 24 mars 2013, les changements successifs de régime ont contribué à une escalade des violences intercommunautaires, multipliant les violations des droits de l'homme, les déplacements massifs de population, la destruction de biens et la perte des moyens de subsistance pour la population. La RCA compte aujourd’hui plus de 2,7 millions de personnes ayant besoin d’assistance, soit quasiment la moitié de la population globale. Les besoins prioritaires regroupent la nourriture, les soins de santé, l'eau, l'assainissement et l'hygiène, les abris mais également les articles ménagers de première nécessité. A cela s’ajoutent les différentes fractures sociales, les faibles perspectives économiques.

Les Nations Unies estiment aujourd’hui que plus de 464 000 personnes auraient rejoint les pays voisins depuis décembre 2013, tandis que le nombre de personnes déplacées internes est estimé à plus 534.000 personnes dont 96.873 en Ouaka.

Sur le plan sécuritaire, la situation demeure volatile. Depuis septembre 2016, un regain des violences a été observé dans différentes régions de la RCA. La MINUSCA, opération multidimensionnelle des Nations Unies, est notamment en charge de la protection des civils et de la facilitation de l’aide humanitaire. En février 2017, Bambari a été déclaré par la MINUSCA ville sans groupe armé.

Présentation de la mission

TGH a débuté son action en RCA en 2007 pour soutenir les personnes affectées par le conflit qui agitait alors le nord du pays. Parallèlement, l’association s’impose depuis 2011 comme l’un des acteurs humanitaires majeurs de la préfecture de la Ouaka, où elle mène divers projets dans les secteurs du développement rural, de l'eau, de l'hygiène et l'assainissement (EHA) et de l'éducation.

TGH assure aujourd’hui une assistance d’urgence aux populations déplacées et aux communautés hôtes, dans la ville de Bambari, dans l’ensemble des camps de déplacés autour de Bambari ainsi que dans la ville de Ngakobo. TGH poursuit notamment ses activités de construction et d’entretien de forages, de latrines, de réhabilitation des puits sur les sites et en ville, de constitution d’un stock de contingence. Aussi, l’association met en œuvre des projets d’urgence en matière de sécurité alimentaire à travers la distribution de semences et d’outils agricoles, l’appui à la production et la transformation agricoles, la santé animale. Enfin, TGH met également en œuvre des projets de développement dans les secteurs du développement rural, de l'eau, de l'hygiène et l'assainissement et de l'éducation.

Parallèlement aux activités qu’elle mène dans la Ouaka, l’association intervient en Vakaga dans les secteurs de la sécurité alimentaire, de l’eau, hygiène et assainissement, ainsi que de l’éducation. TGH reste ainsi l’une des deux seules organisations présentes de manière continue dans cette région marginalisée et excentrée.

Enfin, TGH intervient à Bangui, dans les secteurs de l’éducation et la protection des enfants de la rue de Bangui.

La mission est financée à hauteur de 4 millions d’euros par différents bailleurs de fonds, dont les principaux sont ECHO, UNICEF, le Centre de Crise et de Soutien, l’Ambassade de France, le FH, le PAM, la FAO, l’AFD, le CIAA.

Presentation of TGH

"Actor in a sustainable and shared solidarity"

Founded in 1994, TGH is a French international solidarity organization based in Lyon. The association designs and implements emergency, rehabilitation and development programs in the following sectors: water, hygiene and sanitation, civil engineering, food security and rural development, education and psychosocial. TGH is currently operating in 10 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

Context

The Regional conflict in Iraq and Syria will complete its fifth year with no rapid end in sight. It has torn apart families, displacing more than 11 million individuals: more than 7 million inside the country and more than four million who have fled the conflict in search of safety in neighboring countries, including Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt and Iraq, and further afield in Europe (507,421 persons by the end of September 2015). While Kurdistan Region of Iraq is still hosting around 240 000 Syrians, Iraq has seen major displacement of an estimated three million persons within its borders due to the advance of ISIS and subsequent fight to push them out of Iraq.

The Kurdistan Region of Iraq, hosting 97% of the Syrian refugees within Iraq, is also now host to some one million internally displaced persons, constituting a 25% population increase. Furthermore, the KR-I continues to share frontlines of armed conflict in the “disputed” Iraqi territories since the 25^th September Kurdish independence referendum and faces a budgetary crisis which presents serious challenges in the access to services (e.g. education) for displaced and host community populations.

The defeat of ISIS’s last remaining strongholds in Iraq is now leaving ground for reconstruction. However, in places such as West Mosul that have seen severe destruction or remote areas where services are lacking, returns are not happening fast and Iraqi people are still displaced in IDP camps of Ninewa or the East bank of Mosul. The political and military stalemate between the Federal Government and Iraqi Kurdistan is keeping the tension high along the disputed territories. Iraqi elections are putting an additional level of inter-community tensions as military groups contribute to the political shaping of the areas retaken from ISIS. Intra-community tensions within Iraqi Kurdistan are also on the rise in reshuffling of the political landscape after the October 2016 events and the fall of the two historical leaders of the main parties.

Presentation of the mission

TGH worked in Kurdistan from 1995 to 1999 in the education and agriculture sectors to support refugees from Turkey. In 2013, TGH reopened a mission in Kurdistan and conducted several projects in Erbil: WASH in schools, Winterization distribution, Education and psychosocial support. Since 2016, TGH has deployed an emergency response supporting Iraqi IDPs in three camps of Ninewa Governorate (Salamiya 1, Khazer M1 and Nimrud camps) with child protection services. Alongside, TGH is also developing Child Protection and Education in Emergency interventions in returnee villages of Hamdaniya district (Nimrod and Bashiqa sub-districts). . The organization has also been conducting and still developing livelihood activities towards vulnerable returnee households in rural Tel Afar / Hamdaniya districts. TGH has a sub-office in Nimrud village (Hamdaniya district) forcamps and villages operations. More recently, TGH opened a sub-office in Baghdad; and is currently opening one as well in Mosul which will be dedicated to the Mosul / Hamdaniya operations and develop further project in Federal Iraq.

Presentation of TGH

"Actor in a sustainable and shared solidarity"

Founded in 1994, TGH is a French international solidarity organization based in Lyon. The association designs and implements emergency, rehabilitation and development programs in the following sectors: water, hygiene and sanitation, civil engineering, food security and rural development, education and psychosocial. TGH is currently operating in 10 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

Context

The Regional conflict in Iraq and Syria will complete its fifth year with no rapid end in sight. It has torn apart families, displacing more than 11 million individuals: more than 7 million inside the country and more than four million who have fled the conflict in search of safety in neighboring countries, including Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt and Iraq, and further afield in Europe (507,421 persons by the end of September 2015). While Kurdistan Region of Iraq is still hosting around 240 000 Syrians, Iraq has seen major displacement of an estimated three million persons within its borders due to the advance of ISIS and subsequent fight to push them out of Iraq.

The Kurdistan Region of Iraq, hosting 97% of the Syrian refugees within Iraq, is also now host to some one million internally displaced persons, constituting a 25% population increase. Furthermore, the KR-I continues to share frontlines of armed conflict in the “disputed” Iraqi territories since the 25^th September Kurdish independence referendum and faces a budgetary crisis which presents serious challenges in the access to services (e.g. education) for displaced and host community populations.

The defeat of ISIS’s last remaining strongholds in Iraq is now leaving ground for reconstruction. However, in places such as West Mosul that have seen severe destruction or remote areas where services are lacking, returns are not happening fast and Iraqi people are still displaced in IDP camps of Ninewa or the East bank of Mosul. The political and military stalemate between the Federal Government and Iraqi Kurdistan is keeping the tension high along the disputed territories. Iraqi elections are putting an additional level of inter-community tensions as military groups contribute to the political shaping of the areas retaken from ISIS. Intra-community tensions within Iraqi Kurdistan are also on the rise in reshuffling of the political landscape after the October 2016 events and the fall of the two historical leaders of the main parties.

Presentation of the mission

TGH worked in Kurdistan from 1995 to 1999 in the education and agriculture sectors to support refugees from Turkey. In 2013, TGH reopened a mission in Kurdistan and conducted several projects in Erbil: WASH in schools, Winterization distribution, Education and psychosocial support. Since 2016, TGH has deployed an emergency response supporting Iraqi IDPs in three camps of Ninewa Governorate (Salamiya 1, Khazer M1 and Nimrud camps) with child protection services. Alongside, TGH is also developing Child Protection and Education in Emergency interventions in returnee villages of Hamdaniya district (Nimrod and Bashiqa sub-districts). . The organization has also been conducting and still developing livelihood activities towards vulnerable returnee households in rural Tel Afar / Hamdaniya districts. TGH has a sub-office in Nimrud village (Hamdaniya district) forcamps and villages operations. More recently, TGH opened a sub-office in Baghdad; and is currently opening one as well in Mosul which will be dedicated to the Mosul / Hamdaniya operations and develop further project in Federal Iraq.

Présentation de TGH

"Acteur d'une solidarité durable et partagée"

Créée en 1994, Triangle Génération Humanitaire, association française de solidarité internationale basée à Lyon, élabore et met en œuvre des programmes d'urgence, de réhabilitation et de développement dans les domaines de l'eau, de l'hygiène et de l'assainissement, du génie civil, de la sécurité alimentaire et du développement rural, du socio-éducatif et du psychosocial. TGH travaille actuellement dans 10 pays d’Afrique, d’Asie, d’Europe et du Moyen-Orient.

Contexte

Considérée comme l’un des pays les plus pauvres au monde (classé 180ème sur 186 par le PNUD en 2012, 62% de la population y vit avec moins de 1,25 USD par jour), la République centrafricaine (RCA) traverse la crise humanitaire la plus grave depuis son indépendance en 1960.

Suite au coup d’Etat du 24 mars 2013, les changements successifs de régime ont contribué à une escalade des violences intercommunautaires, multipliant les violations des droits de l'homme, les déplacements massifs de population, la destruction de biens et la perte des moyens de subsistance pour la population. La RCA compte aujourd’hui plus de 2,7 millions de personnes ayant besoin d’assistance, soit quasiment la moitié de la population globale. Les besoins prioritaires regroupent la nourriture, les soins de santé, l'eau, l'assainissement et l'hygiène, les abris mais également les articles ménagers de première nécessité. A cela s’ajoutent les différentes fractures sociales, les faibles perspectives économiques.

Les Nations Unies estiment aujourd’hui que plus de 464 000 personnes auraient rejoint les pays voisins depuis décembre 2013, tandis que le nombre de personnes déplacées internes est estimé à plus 534.000 personnes dont 96.873 en Ouaka.

Sur le plan sécuritaire, la situation demeure volatile. Depuis septembre 2016, un regain des violences a été observé dans différentes régions de la RCA. La MINUSCA, opération multidimensionnelle des Nations Unies, est notamment en charge de la protection des civils et de la facilitation de l’aide humanitaire. En février 2017, Bambari a été déclaré par la MINUSCA ville sans groupe armé.

Présentation de la mission

TGH a débuté son action en RCA en 2007 pour soutenir les personnes affectées par le conflit qui agitait alors le nord du pays. Parallèlement, l’association s’impose depuis 2011 comme l’un des acteurs humanitaires majeurs de la préfecture de la Ouaka, où elle mène divers projets dans les secteurs du développement rural, de l'eau, de l'hygiène et l'assainissement (EHA) et de l'éducation.

TGH assure aujourd’hui une assistance d’urgence aux populations déplacées et aux communautés hôtes, dans la ville de Bambari, dans l’ensemble des camps de déplacés autour de Bambari ainsi que dans la ville de Ngakobo. TGH poursuit notamment ses activités de construction et d’entretien de forages, de latrines, de réhabilitation des puits sur les sites et en ville, de constitution d’un stock de contingence. Aussi, l’association met en œuvre des projets d’urgence en matière de sécurité alimentaire à travers la distribution de semences et d’outils agricoles, l’appui à la production et la transformation agricoles, la santé animale. Enfin, TGH met également en œuvre des projets de développement dans les secteurs du développement rural, de l'eau, de l'hygiène et l'assainissement et de l'éducation.

Parallèlement aux activités qu’elle mène dans la Ouaka, l’association intervient en Vakaga dans les secteurs de la sécurité alimentaire, de l’eau, hygiène et assainissement, ainsi que de l’éducation. TGH reste ainsi l’une des deux seules organisations présentes de manière continue dans cette région marginalisée et excentrée.

Enfin, TGH intervient à Bangui, dans les secteurs de l’éducation et la protection des enfants de la rue de Bangui.

La mission est financée à hauteur de 4 millions d’euros par différents bailleurs de fonds, dont les principaux sont ECHO, UNICEF, le Centre de Crise et de Soutien, l’Ambassade de France, le FH, le PAM, la FAO, l’AFD, le CIAA.
