Interventions
- UN humanitarian coordination and protection monitoring for civilians affected by the war, including casualty verification and emergency assistance through UN agencies and partners.
- Humanitarian support to displaced Ukrainians and war-affected communities through UNHCR, IOM, WFP, UNICEF, and the ICRC, including shelter, food assistance, medical support, and winterization aid.
What Works
- Civilian early-warning systems and rapid sheltering have been shown to reduce exposure to airstrikes and drone attacks when alerts are timely and communities can reach protected spaces.
- Humanitarian cash assistance and targeted aid for displaced households improve access to food, shelter, and basic needs more efficiently than in-kind aid alone in crisis settings like Ukraine.

UNHCR is mitigating flood risks in Rohingya refugee camps by pre-positioning humanitarian supplies such as tarpaulins, rope to secure shelters, sleeping mats, water purification tablets, and jerrycans ahead of the monsoon season to protect displaced populations from floods and landslides.
Mercy Corps is engaged in Burkina Faso through programs that help communities cope with conflict, displacement, and food insecurity. Its approach often combines emergency cash or livelihoods support with resilience-building activities that help households access food and basic services while preserving dignity and flexibility. Mercy Corps also works with local actors and market systems to support recovery in hard-to-reach and instability-affected areas.
WFP addresses climate-driven crop losses by delivering emergency food and cash assistance, using early warning and seasonal forecasts for anticipatory action, and helping households and farmers become more resilient through drought preparedness and climate-smart support. In the broader Horn of Africa and nearby drought-affected areas, this approach is used to prevent acute hunger before harvest failure becomes famine.
DRC addresses Myanmar's civil war and Rohingya crisis by delivering multi-sectoral aid including cash transfers, legal aid, protection services, and livelihoods support to over 300,000 IDPs and Rohingya refugees; they operate in Rakhine State, Kachin, and along the Bangladesh border, focusing on camp management, mine action, and community-based protection to mitigate violence and displacement.
