Hence, in 2022, we reached approximately 110,000 people with integrated livelihoods, health and nutrition, WASH, conflict resolution and gender equality activities, helping to increase their resilience to shocks and stresses. 

In addition, Concern implements several transversal strategies, such as the gender strategy to foster gender equality at all levels. They echo Concern’s commitment to key principles of humanitarian action, such as local ownership and sustainability and the do no harm principle.

For example, in 2022, Concern started a partnership with a national NGO in gender-based violence (GBV) activities in the South-East. This partnership involves capacity sharing and additional economic spillovers for the local economy.

Concern continues to play an active role in the various humanitarian coordination mechanisms, including a co-lead position in the Cash Working Group. As a result of strong advocacy, continuous visibility at the Cluster level, and a strong Gender vision for its programmes, Concern became the lead agency to chair the menstrual hygiene working group.

Concern is also on the Executive Committee of the INGO forum (CCO) which gives access to a rotating seat on the Humanitarian Country Team.
