When crisis hits, families know what they need most. Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) puts the choice in their hands. At a time of shrinking budgets and growing humanitarian need, we need solutions that stretch every dollar without compromising dignity. CVA does both. Instead of long supply chains and heavy logistics, cash and vouchers allow families to prioritise their most urgent needs, support local markets, and begin rebuilding on their own terms. For women and children, that flexibility can be life-changing. The evidence is strong. - CVA promotes dignity, choice, and financial inclusion, helping families stabilise, recover, and move forward. - It strengthens locally led responses, allowing community organisations and smaller actors to lead without complex infrastructures. World Vision has delivered CVA in more than 50 countries, providing over $1 billion in cash and vouchers in recent years alone. Each year, this reaches up to 9.8 million people—51% of them children. And 80% live in fragile contexts. CVA is a proven and effective tool for today’s humanitarian reset.

🌱 Shaping the Future of Food Security: Voices From the Field at the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks - HNPW How can locally led coordination and emergency agriculture transform outcomes in today’s toughest food crises? On 5 March, 15:30–17:00 (UTC+1), join World Vision and the Food Security Cluster, a network of 1,200 partners across 34 operations, as frontline leaders spotlight new coordination models driving faster, more inclusive, and more effective food security responses. From Sudan to Somalia to the Philippines, you’ll hear how national and local actors are taking the lead, reshaping coordination systems, and strengthening community resilience. The session also dives into the rising importance of emergency agriculture, including restoring crop production and protecting livestock, a critical lifeline that boosts self-reliance, reduces operational costs, and helps rebuild the social fabric of crisis-affected communities.

Another insightful article from Dana Buzducea, our Partnership Leader for Advocacy and External Engagement. Traditional humanitarian responses can't keep up with the needs of children in Haiti, and they've become the "shock absorbers." But there's hope, Dana says.

There's nothing "natural" about preventable suffering. In Mozambique, repeated climate shocks and instability are devastating children’s lives. But this recent "natural disaster" was not inevitable. The scale of its impact reflects policy choices as much as weather patterns. Ignatius Juma , our Senior Policy Advisor, Climate Action and Disaster Risk Reduction, Disaster Management, unpacks how fragility is not an innate condition; it's constructed over generations of colonial systems, chronic underinvestment, and global inequality. "None of this was unforeseeable," Ignatius asserts, "Could this magnitude of damage and destruction be avoided?" His recommendations: Systemic change, including: - Wealthy nations must finally deliver adaptation finance at scale, with simpler access and a clear focus on locally led resilience. - Governments must integrate disaster risk reduction into national development and infrastructure planning. Anticipatory action must be funded as standard practice. - And community-led disaster risk management must be mainstreamed, because communities are not the last mile; they are the first line. - Global funding for humanitarian action should be targeted and intentional about building resilience in the long run.

At World Vision, this is what keeps us awake at night ... and what gets us out of bed every morning: that 30 years of progress are slipping away because systems have failed to keep pace with reality. And children have to live with the consequences. We have to keep working to strengthen systems in fragile contexts, push for reforms that place children at the centre, and bring about meaningful—not incremental—change.

On her fifth birthday, Sofia should have been blowing out candles. Instead, war broke out in her country, Ukraine. Four years on, almost half of Sofia's life has been defined by the brutality of conflict. But through our child protection programmes, Sofia has found safety and care in a Child-Friendly Space in Kyiv. With play, creative activities, and psychological support, children like Sofia can begin to process trauma, rebuild confidence, and reclaim the childhood the war has taken from them.

As Ukraine enters its fourth winter of conflict, the toll on children is deepening. For millions of children, safety is a memory they never had and fear is the only constant they’ve ever known. ARMAN GRIGORYAN , World Vision Ukraine Crisis Response Response Director, explores how prolonged conflict reshapes childhood, the invisible psychological wounds we rarely see, and the work humanitarians need to continue despite rising risks.
