Policy Resources: Resilience and Emergencies
Resilience and Emergencies
Policy Resources
Our humanitarian policy and advocacy work aims to influence government’s and communities to ensure they are prepared and able to respond during and after an emergency. We focus on meeting the immediate survival needs of children, young people, and marginalised communities.
We work to ensure basic rights to education and protection from violence are upheld in times of crisis and ensure adolescents affected by emergencies are not left behind.
We advocate for targeted interventions that meet the specific needs of boys and girls of different ages and highlight the importance of the meaningful participation of young people throughout the humanitarian cycle. We work to strengthen the accountability of humanitarian towards them.
