**What we do**:
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) works worldwide to provide humanitarian assistance to people affected by conflict and armed violence. We take action in response to emergencies and at the same time promote respect for international humanitarian law. We are an independent and neutral organization, and our mandate stems essentially from the Geneva Conventions of 1949. We work closely with National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and with their International Federation in order to ensure a concerted, rational and rapid humanitarian response to the needs of the victims of armed conflict or any other situation of internal violence. We direct and coordinate the international activities conducted in these situations.

**Context**:
Within its global Economic Security (EcoSec) approach in conflict affected countries, the ICRC implements Relief, Livelihood, and Structural Support Programs to maintain, restore or improve food
- and economic security at the household level. The ICRC's EcoSec programs are multifaceted, and use in-kind assistance, cash, vouchers and services to assist conflict-affected people in a timely and flexible way to meet their essential needs and expenditures in a sustainable and dignified manner. The ICRC provides emergency food and essential items; supports nutrition programmes; delivers agricultural and veterinary or livestock activities; and supports income generation.
