Over the past decade, humanitarian crises have grown more protracted and complex, moving beyond responding to sudden-onset disasters to addressing chronic vulnerabilities and reducing the overall impact of recurrent shocks and stresses. In addition to leading the U.S. government's response to international disasters, USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) provides the foundations for transformative change and self-reliance through our support of early recovery, risk reduction, and resilience (ER4) programs. Our goal is to improve the lives of those vulnerable to or affected by crisis, unconditionally and impartially, so that all whom we serve are treated with dignity and respect. Our Strategic Framework for Early Recovery, Risk Reduction, and Resilience lays out our approach to these critical activities.
The bureau has also invested in climate adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and early warning systems that help vulnerable communities become more resilient to humanitarian crises, including those caused or exacerbated by climate variability or change. The BHA Climate Fact Sheet explains how our climate approach focuses on four key areas for action.
