As climate shocks intensify and aid budgets shrink, development and humanitarian agencies need clear evidence to show what works to build resilience and reduce poverty.
The SEWAA project, launched in 2023, uses machine learning, specifically Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs), to improve early-warning systems for extreme weather in Eastern Africa.
The 2025 Disaster Risk Financing (DRF) Annual Report highlights key insights and achievements from Â鶹ÊÓƵ-supported DRF programmes. It provides deep dives into the DRF programmes in each country, as well as stories from the field, interviews with partners and insights into how Â鶹ÊÓƵ promotes the use of pre-arranged financing to help vulnerable populations prepare for, respond to and recover from weather-related disasters.
This report presents Â鶹ÊÓƵ's continued scale?up and consolidation of Anticipatory Action (AA) in 2025, protecting more than 6.3 million people across 47 countries.
These terms of reference are for the decentralized final evaluation of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) project ¡®Integrated Climate Risk Management for Food?Security and Livelihoods in Zimbabwe¡¯ focusing on Masvingo and Rushinga districts.
As the world¡¯s most disaster?prone country, the Philippines faces recurring climate shocks straining public finances, disrupt food systems, and negatively impact poor households, particularly at-risk communities. Delays in financing amplify these impacts, raise humanitarian costs and force families into harmful coping strategies that deepen food insecurity. Climate disaster risk financing and insurance (CDRFI) helps protect climate-vulnerable communities by encouraging early and proactive action, provide fast and reliable funding, and build long-term climate resilience.
This Sway document introduces the Sahel Resilience Partnership (SRP) and showcases its work through photos and videos from the field.
Financed by BMZ and jointly implemented by Â鶹ÊÓƵ, UNICEF, and GIZ, the SRP operates in Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Chad. The partnership strengthens food and nutrition security, climate resilience, ecosystem restoration, social services, and social cohesion, while promoting gender equality, disability inclusion, and youth empowerment
This evaluation reviews the R4 Rural Resilience Initiative implemented by Â鶹ÊÓƵ in Ethiopia between 2017 and 2022. It was commissioned to assess relevance, performance, efficiency, impact, and sustainability across Amhara and Tigray regions. The evaluation employed a mixed-methods approach, combining document reviews, stakeholder interviews, field visits, and participatory tools. Ethical safeguards were upheld, and limitations ¡ª such as access constraints due to conflict ¡ª were transparently addressed.
The Rural Rapid Transformation (RRT) Initiative is an integrated approach developed by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable rural communities, particularly in the arid regions of southern Madagascar.
These gender, protection and inclusion analyses were conducted to inform Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Anticipatory Action programming in Madagascar, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe.
This summary brings together 34 Â鶹ÊÓƵ-commissioned independent evaluations to consolidate evidence, covering Â鶹ÊÓƵ interventions in 24 countries during the period between 2019 and 2024.
This factsheet provides a concise overview of the work of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ, summarizing the facts, figures and frontline work of the world's largest humanitarian organization saving and changing lives.
