The operation's success was due in part to up-front cash funding from Jordan, which quickly established a centralized system and allowed host agencies like the Jordanian Red Crescent to work with UNHCR, UNDRO and the International Committee of the Red Cross, as well as with foreign Governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The Project, based in Antigua, was originally begun in 1981 as a short-term (18 months) programme managed by UNDRO, in collaboration with the League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (LRCS) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), which is the regional office for the Americas of the World Health Organization. Although UNDRO was formed in 1971 chiefly to respond to sudden natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and typhoons, its mandate has been expanded to cover emergency "man-made" disasters. |
