What is short term development in CAFOD?

Short-term development in CAFOD (the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) focuses on providing immediate relief and support to communities affected by crises, such as natural disasters or conflicts. This includes delivering essential services like food, water, and healthcare, as well as helping communities rebuild and recover. CAFOD aims to address urgent needs while also laying the groundwork for longer-term sustainable development through capacity building and resilience initiatives. The approach is rooted in a commitment to social justice and human dignity.
