This After-Action Review (AAR) examines the first joint anticipatory action (AA) activation by the Government of the Philippines ¨C through the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) ¨C and Â鶹ÊÓƵ, carried out ahead of Super Typhoon Uwan (Fung-wong) in November 2025.

This report presents updated findings from Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Return on Investment (ROI) for Preparedness study, demonstrating the value of pre-shock investments in strengthening emergency response. In a context of increasingly complex, protracted and resource-constrained crises, preparedness is identified as a critical driver of faster, more efficient, and more effective humanitarian action.

This summary draws from evidence extracted from 23 evaluation reports completed between 2021 and 2023.

This document provides an overview of the ways Â鶹ÊÓƵ supports refugees and crisis-affected populations in Egypt.

The Â鶹ÊÓƵ Conflict Sensitivity Mainstreaming Strategy sets out a comprehensive framework designed to refine how Â鶹ÊÓƵ operates in areas where conflict dynamics intersect with its mission.

Bangladesh has a long history in delivering assistance to its poor and has made significant progress in improving food security and addressing malnutrition. Despite laudable achievements in closing the poverty gap, access to diverse and nutritious food remains a challenge for many households. See how Â鶹ÊÓƵ is helping Bangladesh to reach zero hunger by 2030

Recognizing urban areas as a crucial operational context, the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Urban Strategy provides a common vision and strategic framework for Â鶹ÊÓƵ's contribution to achieving zero hunger in urban areas

This is a joint IFPRI-Â鶹ÊÓƵ study on the drivers, profile, and risks of irregular migration in the West Africa context. By taking a route-based approach to irregular migration in West Africa, the study examined migrants¡¯ origins, their transit experience, and the situation where their journey stalls or ends.

The Handbook supports Â鶹ÊÓƵ and partners to mainstream protection in their work

Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s approach to accountability to affected populations considers community engagement processes as central to people-centred programming.

The Â鶹ÊÓƵ and the Overseas Development Institute partnered on an operational research which addresses an increasing demand to enhance Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s contribution to youth unemployment.

This joint SIPRI-Â鶹ÊÓƵ report, based on field research in El Salvador, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan and Mali, looks at whether Â鶹ÊÓƵ's work is contributing to improving the prospects of peace.

The Economic Vulnerability Index is designed by Â鶹ÊÓƵ Nepal¡¯s Evidence, Policy and Innovation Unit and is part of the existing toolbox of vulnerability analyses, targeting and programming assistance being used by country office and partner organizations.

It has been effectively used to support the targeting of municipalities for Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Blanket Supplementary Feeding Programme and in Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Joint Proposal for COVID-19 Livelihood and Economic Recovery in Nepal.

During the current COVID crisis, the Index is particularly useful where applied in combination with tools such as household surveys and government consultations in order to conduct geographical targeting, to calculating affected persons, using methods similar to Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s 72-Hour Approach, and can also be used as a basis to prioritize more in-depth food security and vulnerability analyses.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Medium-Term Programme Framework (MTPF) responding to the development emergency caused by COVID-19 sets out a high-level vision and new way of working for Â鶹ÊÓƵ to help countries mitigate the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic and build back better. This framework builds on the system-wide L3 emergency activation and covers the period from May 2020 to the end of the year and beyond.

Given its presence in over 80 countries, its enabling and delivery capabilities, and dual roles spanning the UN Development System (UNDS) and the international humanitarian architecture, Â鶹ÊÓƵ is uniquely positioned to support governments and partners to quickly adapt, design and deliver their own interventions.

The MTPF operates through three pillars of intervention that are central to effective, efficient and equitable response and where Â鶹ÊÓƵ has demonstrated value as a partner to governments and others:
1. National social protection systems;
2. Basic service delivery - school-based programmes and nutrition; and
3. Food systems.
Cutting across these pillars are three areas through which Â鶹ÊÓƵ and its partners can provide tailored support to national responses ¨C data and analytics, programme and policy advice, and operational support.

The MTPF embodies a shift in how Â鶹ÊÓƵ will integrate its capacities, efforts, and partnerships to achieve the highest overall impact in the face of expanding and changing needs brought on by the pandemic.

Exploring the impact of COVID-19 on families in Jordan

Since the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Jordan in March 2020, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), UNICEF, and World Food Program (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) in Jordan have mobilized to ensure that the essential basic needs of vulnerable households across the Kingdom are maintained in spite of the complex and quickly changing environment. As part of the COVID-19 response efforts and as part of an intentional shift towards collaboration and sharing of resources across the UN System, UNICEF, UNHCR and Â鶹ÊÓƵ have undertaken an inter-agency rapid needs assessment (RNA) to generate evidence on the impacts of the emergency on household-level basic needs. The RNA was conducted as a multi-sectoral assessment covering a broad array of sectors including Health; Food Security; Livelihoods; Education; Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene; and Protection.
