Emergencies can mean anything from natural disasters, famine and more. For these, Asia is considered at high risk not just geographically, but particularly because millions of people are already living below the poverty line.

Here are some of the ways that we’re helping to reach those in need:

 – Providing cash assistance through unconditional cash transfers and multi-purpose grants to vulnerable households and those with disabilities

 – Employing cash for work programs to enable rehabilitation of community infrastructure and access to income earning opportunities

 – Constructing and repairing water and sanitation facilities post disaster for displaced communities and camps

 – Supporting communities in recovery of their livelihoods through emergency food security and livelihood (EFSL) activities

 – Strengthening the humanitarian development peace nexus in protracted settings by aligning development and humanitarian programming to improve education, health and livelihoods

 – Reducing risks and increasing resilience of communities to cope with climate change and natural disasters

 – Enhancing inclusion and participation in national transformation processes and economic growth

 – Developing desludging treatment facilities to safely dispose of waste

 – Introducing gender awareness and WASH trainings and encouraging participation of women in community meetings and decision-making
