Agriculture, Livelihood and Food Security

Good Governance and Peace Building

It also empowers local governance by building the capacity of community members, including women and youth, to participate in decision-making processes and lead efforts toward long-term stability and resilience.
Youth and Women Empowerment
Focuses on the holistic development of young people and women to help them become agents of change. In addition to providing leadership skills, civic engagement opportunities, and media literacy, the program addresses Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and violence against women and girls (VAWG). It incorporates protection and prevention measures, ensuring a safe environment for women and girls while providing support and resources for those affected by violence.
Gender Equality, Protection and Migration Management
Our Gender Equality, Protection, and Migration Management program works to ensure that women, girls, migrants, persons with disabilities, older people, and displaced persons live in safety, dignity, and equality. We prevent and respond to gender-based violence, including trafficking, exploitation, and harmful practices, while providing survivor-centered protection and access to essential services. The program strengthens legal protection, promotes safe and orderly migration, and empowers individuals and communities to uphold the rights and well-being of the most vulnerable throughout every stage of displacement and migration.
