Programme framework
Our work
These six areas describe the mandate we are registered to deliver. They are presented as our programme framework, not as a portfolio of completed work.
A clear framework. A considered approach.
Our six registered areas set the scope of our work. Here we describe the assessment, targeting and delivery approach behind each one. Programme results will be published as work progresses.
Six areas
The areas we are registered to deliver
Emergency relief
- Food security
- Shelter
- NFIs
We deliver food assistance, safe drinking water, emergency shelter and non-food items to households displaced by conflict or affected by natural disaster.
Distributions are planned from field assessment and delivered with community participation in targeting, so that assistance reaches households on the basis of need rather than proximity or connection.
Health and nutrition
- Health
- Nutrition
We support existing health facilities rather than building parallel structures, and run mobile medical convoys to reach populations that cannot travel to a functioning centre.
Nutrition work focuses on children under five and pregnant and breastfeeding women, with screening and referral in line with national protocols.
Education and child protection
- Education
- Child protection
We rehabilitate damaged school infrastructure and run literacy programmes for children whose schooling has been interrupted by displacement.
Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) is delivered by trained staff within a safeguarding framework, and never in a way that identifies a child publicly.
Water, sanitation and hygiene
- WASH
We drill and rehabilitate wells, construct and maintain water networks, and run hygiene promotion alongside every water intervention, because infrastructure without hygiene practice does not reduce disease transmission.
Maintenance responsibility is agreed with the community before construction begins, so that a water point does not fail the year after it is handed over.
Livelihoods and economic empowerment
- Early recovery
- Livelihoods
We provide cash grants, vocational training and support to small enterprises, with a deliberate focus on businesses run by women and young people.
Cash is used where markets are functioning, because it preserves household choice and supports local traders rather than displacing them.
Protection
- Protection
We run support programmes for displaced people, women at risk, older people and people with disabilities, including identification of specific needs and referral to specialist services.
Protection work is confidential by default. We do not publish locations, caseloads or any detail that could identify a person we assist.

Method
How we assess and target
Field assessment first
No distribution is planned from a desk. Need is established in the field before a caseload is set.
Community participation in targeting
Communities take part in designing and delivering programmes, so assistance follows need rather than proximity or connection.
Gender-sensitive by default
All interventions are gender-sensitive, and we do not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, religion or colour.
Confidential by default
In protection work we publish no locations, caseloads or any detail that could identify a person we assist.
