As the number of disasters and complex emergencies increases around the world, many sister city partnerships are using disaster and other short-term recovery projects as a platform to formalize relationships dedicated to long-term work. This new focus on humanitarian assistance uses the sister city "model" of international twinning to facilitate programming on disaster relief, supply shipping, medical assistance, and other short-term projects. The projects and programs presented below provide sister city communities with an opportunity to assist their international counterparts, while fostering mutual respect, cooperation and two-way learning and exchanges.
- Wheelchairs for Peace
- International Partners Program
- Emergency Response Programs
- Operation Iraqi Children
- Iraqi Initiative
