🤝🕊️ In fragile contexts, peace is essential for development. In Ethiopia’s Borena Zone, EIP and Alliance2015 member Helvetas are working with communities to strengthen dialogue and manage tensions over land and water through locally led peacebuilding. 🌱💧

Ending hunger in Kenya will require more than food production alone, it will require coordinated systems change.

🇨🇩 The crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo remains one of the world’s most overlooked humanitarian emergencies.

🇧🇴🚁 In Bolivia’s Inter-Andean Valleys, young women are using drones to support sustainable fruit farming. Through the “Aviadoras del futuro” initiative, they’re applying bio-inputs and reducing environmental impact while gaining new skills and opportunities in agriculture. 🌱

In Jordan, the GrowEconomy Project is helping Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians build more sustainable livelihoods through agriculture. Led by Acted and funded by AFD, the project supports farmers and agricultural workers through training, inclusion, and climate-resilient farming.

Liberia is taking an important step toward tackling hunger and malnutrition through stronger coordination and preparedness.

🇸🇴 In Somalia, cash assistance is helping families survive — and rebuild hope. After drought forced Ayan* and her five children from their home, one text message changed everything: emergency cash support from the Somali Cash Consortium (SCC). 📱💙

In Somaliland, drought and invasive Prosopis are putting pressure on pastoralist livelihoods 🐪 But communities are turning the problem into a solution: processing Prosopis into livestock feed 🌱

In Haiti, access to water is also a question of power 💧 Through the REGLEAU project, Helvetas (part of Alliance2015) is working to make water and sanitation systems more inclusive—ensuring women and vulnerable groups have a voice in how services are managed 👥

One year after the earthquake, communities in Myanmar are still rebuilding—on top of an already severe humanitarian crisis 🇲🇲 From the first hours, CESVI, Alliance2015 member, reached 15,000+ people with emergency aid 🚑

At the launch of the Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2025 in Peru 🇵🇪, Alliance2015 members Welthungerhilfe, @helvetaw.bsky.social and @ayudaenaccion.bsky.social came together with key stakeholders to discuss one urgent reality:

The Global Hunger Index 2025 was launched in Addis Ababa. 📉 Progress against hunger has slowed 📊 Ethiopia: 53.0 (2000) → 24.4 today ⚠️ At this pace, Zero Hunger = 2137 We know what works. Now we need the political will to act. 🔗https://bit.ly/4lD3JC1
