The National School Feeding Program (PRONAE) will incorporate the provision of school meals in the context of emergency responses triggered by natural disasters and conflicts in Mozambique This initiative is expected to come to effectiveness in 2026 with the distribution of school meals to complement the take-home rations that currently are bringing relief to children in the provinces of Sofala and Cabo Delgado.

Sibonginkosi Mungoni, the Senior Advisor Livelihoods and Economic Recovery in Emergencies, emphasises that resilience must be central to humanitarian programming, especially in fragile contexts where children are most vulnerable. She raises the alarm on long-term recovery being sidelined for short-term relief in the humanitarian reset conversation. She calls for integrated, child-centred approaches backed by flexible funding to ensure sustainable impact and protect children from recurring crises.

Dr. Kathryn Taetzsch explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on the humanitarian workforce, urging a proactive and ethically grounded response to its rapid integration. While AI is enhancing efficiency in disaster response, climate forecasting, and displacement prediction, it cannot replace the human-centric values—empathy, adaptability, and community focus—that define humanitarian work. She highlights the ‘silent reset’ faced by the sector, where AI’s rise risks deepening inequalities and displacing routine jobs unless humanitarian organisations invest in upskilling, ethical governance and locally led innovation.

Brikena Zogaj and Lilian Mumbi, World Vision Technical Experts, emphasise that hunger is not just a food issue but a protection crisis, especially for children who face exploitation, early marriage, and displacement due to food insecurity. They highlight how integrating child protection into food aid programmes—such as those by World Vision—can safeguard children and improve long-term outcomes. The authors call on global actors to fund and prioritise child-focused, integrated approaches to ensure children are not only fed but also protected and empowered.
