July 2019 - Humanitarian needs stemming from the crises in Syria and Iraq remain significant throughout the Middle East. Continued violence in Syria raises little prospects for the voluntary, safe, sustainable and dignified return of over 5.6 million refugees in the region. Internally displaced persons range in the millions in Syria and Iraq, and refugees facing protracted displacement in host countries continue to face acute humanitarian needs in Jordan and Lebanon.

With GAC’s support, the project is providing flexible regional funding to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) on a multiyear basis, for its emergency operations in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Regional funding provides UNICEF with the flexibility to allocate funds to acute humanitarian needs that are critically underfunded, and provides the flexibility to respond to emerging needs. Project activities include: (1) providing people with access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities; (2) treating children for severe acute malnutrition; (3) providing emergency education programming for children; (4) ensuring protection services for children, adolescent girls and women; and (5) providing basic healthcare.

February 2019 - After a brief period of calm in 2016, the situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) started to deteriorate at an alarming rate in 2017. This trend continued through 2018, which saw a spike in attacks against peacekeepers and civilians alike, mass looting, widespread banditry, and territorial conflicts between armed groups. The crisis in CAR is in essence a protection crisis, with violence against civilians, particularly women and girls, and SGBV cases commonplace. Approximately 40% of the population is food insecure and only 54% of the population has access to clean water. Regular violence across the 80% of the country that is controlled by armed groups continues to exacerbate displacement; currently, one quarter of the country's population is displaced, either internally or as refugees in neighbouring countries.

With GAC’s support, Action Against Hunger (ACF) is providing assistance to address the urgent needs of up to 38,450 conflict-affected people in Basse-Kotto prefecture, CAR. This project focuses on improving access to clean water, preventing and treating malnutrition, and providing basic reproductive health services to displaced women. Project activities include: (1) constructing or rehabilitating up to 12 water points; (2) providing sexual and reproductive health services to up to 877 women and girls; and (3) screening and/or treating up to 1,184 children suffering from severe or moderate acute malnutrition.
