Implementation and sustainable operation
Implementation approach
AMAF works within national disaster-management systems and humanitarian coordination mechanisms rather than in parallel to them. The focus is on gaps where AMAF can add value, especially the shift from relief to rebuilding homes, water systems and livelihoods.
Sustainable operation
Preparedness, local response training and resilient reconstruction reduce the need for repeated emergency aid. Relief is designed to transition into recovery and long-term programmes.
