NOURISH is a long-term development programme to reduce poverty and hunger in vulnerable households and communities in Mauritania, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Uganda and Tanzania. The programme aims to ensure that vulnerable children are well-nourished in climate-resilient households by putting emphasis on livelihoods and economic empowerment for women and engaging with men and boys to transform attitudes and norms on gender and inclusion.

EMPOWER! is World Vision Ireland’s Chronic Humanitarian Crises programme which aims to protect and empower the most vulnerable women and girls in fragile contexts in Somalia, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Syria. Emphasis is placed on education  and child protection services, economic empowerment, community protection networks and transforming attitudes and norms on gender and inclusion.

Through Irish Aid’s Acute Crisis Stream, prepositioned funding allows World Vision to quickly respond to rapid-onset disasters such as floods or earthquakes, and acute chronic crises, such as conflict or drought.  We provide lifesaving support based on the needs of the affected populations; this can include emergency health services, water and sanitation, non-food items, protection services or livelihood assistance.
