Empowering Africa’s Children: World Vision Presents Child‑Friendly AU Convention on Ending Violence Against Women and Girls

At the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week (HNPW) 2026, World Vision demonstrated how child-centred, evidence-driven approaches can deliver greater impact, efficiency, and resilience at a moment when humanitarian needs are rising and resources are under intense strain. Across seven high-impact sessions, in partnership with UN agencies like WFP, FAO, clusters and networks like School Meals Coalition, Food Security Cluster and the Cash Learning and Partnership (CALP) Network, World Vision representatives helped shape global conversations on the Humanitarian Reset, bringing practical field experience, strong partnerships, and a clear focus on outcomes for children and communities.

As the Inter-Agency Working Group (IAWG), we issue this joint call to recognise and respond to the compounded realities facing women and girls across these crises.
