Situation Report

World Vision's Ukraine crisis response serves refugees in Georgia, Moldova, Romania and the internally displaced in Ukraine.

For almost five years now, the Middle East and Eastern European region has been building evidence on what improves the well-being of vulnerable children and their families.

The following case study examines World Vision’s experience  implementing a nexus approach for programming in Northern Iraq, which comprises governorates controlled by the federal authority and the Erbil-based Kurdish regional government.

As power dynamics change by the hour across Afghanistan, International aid agency World Vision warns that countless more vulnerable children will pay the ultimate price as they are caught in the maelstrom.

Empowered Women Empowered Children: Iraq

World Vision has now concluded its 2nd phase of programming in Yemen (April 2021 - February 2022) with our implementing partner Medair.

As March marks the fifth anniversary of the Coalition invasion of Iraq, some steps have been taken to improve the lives of those displaced; Jordan has opened up it’s classrooms to 50,000 Iraqi refugees this academic year, and an amnesty was issued for those refugees living in Lebanon.

We know supporting women’s empowerment and accelerating gender equality are vital to a country’s development. It's also essential for raising safe and healthy children.

Gender inequality is recognized as one of the most powerful drivers of children’s vulnerability in all contexts.
