We are a global initiative working for a deeper understanding of diasporas as humanitarian actors and create space for dialogue and collaboration between diaspora, local and institutional actors.

Diaspora actors play an integral part in humanitarian response—but providing care and support in times of crisis can take a toll. The psychological effect of navigating displacement, violence and precarity can influence every aspect of an individual’s life, especially if left untreated.

Addressing mental and emotional needs can take many forms, and we at DEMAC have detailed the various types of care that can be administered in times of distress.

The Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Pocket Guide offers 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬, including an overview of common signs of mental health challenges, introduction to Psychological First Aid (PFA) and step-by-step guides for providing PFA and improving self-care.

This is guide is part of DEMAC’s full set of pocket guides and other informational tools which are available in 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡, 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡, 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐢 in the DEMAC Resource Library.

Join in support of Ukraine in the Ukraine Fryser campaign of Bevar Ukraine, a Ukrainian diaspora organization in Denmark.

Ukraine Fryser (Ukraine is Freezing), is a Danish-based campaign to provide support to the civilian population in Ukraine through the winter. It is supported by a coalition of private companies, civil society groups and humanitarian organizations, including the Danish Refugee Council.

After more than 1680 days of ongoing Russian aggression in Ukraine, the energy infrastructure is severely damaged. This leaves hospitals without power and people’s homes without heating in sub-zero temperatures.

There will be panel discussions, coffee conversations, art installations, workshops and guest appearances, focused on how Ukraine can be best supported in this upcoming winter season.

As part of the campaign, they are collecting donations and equipment. This will support their efforts to send generators, firewood, batteries, thermoses and medical supplies from Denmark to Ukraine.

📑Fresh data on diaspora and remittances: International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)'s new report on remittances: "𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 - 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬: 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 - 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞"

The research shows the increasingly prominent role of diaspora members and networks in sending remittances, with statistics on financial transfer patterns, insights into the sociological conditions that underscore remittances and practical recommendations for various sectors.

1️⃣ Some 𝟐𝟐𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 support an estimated 1.1 billion relatives back home.

4️⃣ 75% of remittances go towards meeting immediate needs of people, such as food, shelter and utilities.
5️⃣ Remittances frequently remain stable – or increase – when families face conflict, disasters, unemployment and economic shocks.
6️⃣ Five countries received nearly half of all remittances: 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚, 𝐌𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐜𝐨, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬, 𝐄𝐠𝐲𝐩𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧.

We are proud to be featured in ALNAP’s recently published 2026 report: “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺”. It highlights amongst others the valuable role that diaspora organizations and local actors play in the humanitarian system.

Amidst budget cuts, strained resources, reduced workforce and increasingly dire needs for aid, this report reflects the complex crises and challenges that face humanitarians.

However, it also gives a glimpse into possibilities for growth and change. 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱.

“Research also underscored a growing role for non-state actors – including civil society, transnational advocacy networks and diaspora groups – in putting pressure on parties to conflict. But at both country and global levels, there were missed opportunities for making humanitarian diplomacy efforts and objectives more grounded in the voices, experiences and capacities of communities affected by conflict.”

🌍 El Niño and displacement: What could 2026–2027 bring?

El Niño is expected to intensify through late 2026 and is expected to bring extreme weather to many parts of the world. Its impact may continue into 2027, with consequences for weather patterns, food supplies and economies.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) estimates a 63% chance that the event will become “very strong”, potentially ranking among the largest El Niño events in the historical record dating back to 1950.

📢 The forecasted El Niño could significantly affect displaced people and drive further displacement. Climate-related hazards already displace an average of 22 million people each year, many of whom remain in protracted displacement. In Somalia alone, the impacts of El Niño are likely to be significant; around 2.3 million people may be highly exposed to flooding

Diaspora organizations can play a vital role in strengthening preparedness and resilience. Through trusted networks, they can:

➡️Share early warnings and raise awareness.

➡️Mobilize resources and support.

➡️Help communities prepare before a crisis.

➡️Provide assistance during emergencies.

➡️Contribute to recovery and longer-term resilience.

At DEMAC, we work to strengthen coordination between diaspora organizations and humanitarian actors, helping ensure that diaspora contributions complement local and institutional response efforts.

On World Humanitarian Day, we recognize the people and partnerships that make humanitarian action possible.

Across the world, crises continue to intensify, and diaspora organizations remain among the first responders to local communities, sharing expertise and offering immediate relief. The latest Global Humanitarian Overview from OCHA shows that 239 million people required humanitarian assistance at the beginning of 2026, underscoring both the scale of the challenge and the urgency of collective action.

On this day, we reiterate the importance of supporting humanitarian action that is inclusive, locally grounded, and driven by the needs and voices of affected communities.
