We cannot solve the climate crisis without confronting hunger. The connection is no longer theoretical. It’s visceral, visible, and, for millions of children, devastatingly personal.

Tuesday, 25 November 2025 World Vision Ghana and Catholic Relief Services (CRS), in partnership with World Agroforestry (ICRAF) and with funding from the European Union (EU), have officially launched the Regreening Africa Phase II (RA II) Project in Kukpalgu in the Mion District, Northern Region. This marks a significant step in scaling up efforts to restore degraded landscapes, strengthen climate resilience, and improve livelihoods for smallholder farmers in the Bawku West, Garu, Tempane and Binduri districts in the Upper East Region; and Yendi and Mion districts in the Northern Region of Ghana.

World Vision Ethiopia highlights women-led restoration and livelihood gains from the RESILIENT-WE project, improving environments and child well-being in Hararghe.

Civil society urges AU & EU to prioritise inclusive, quality education in their renewed partnership, backed by financing and equity-focused policies.

In the arid and semi-arid lands of Kajiado and Narok counties in Kenya, communities are reshaping how climate action is practiced — not by waiting for change, but by driving it themselves.

Why meaningful child participation remains the missing force behind genuine climate action.

FY25 was a year of hard choices and courageous leadership. In the face of escalating global crises, we responded to 108 emergencies, reaching nearly 36 million people—including over 18 million children—with life-saving food, cash, health care, education, and protection. Determined to do more with less, we reimagined humanitarian operations, driving cost-efficiency and resilience while embracing digital transformation. Artificial intelligence and automation helped reinvest savings into communities, even as funding tightened. We strengthened the sector through training and surge capacity, deepened partnerships to champion child-focused humanitarian action, and pushed for a Humanitarian Reset—an aid system that is decentralised, inclusive, and accountable. In the world’s most fragile contexts, we proved that children can thrive when compassion meets purpose. FY25 wasn’t just about responding to crises—it was about shaping the future of humanitarian action.
