How integrated investments across health, nutrition, education, protection, and social protection can help every child thrive amid global crises.

At the Fifty-third Session of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) held in Rome from October 20–24, World Vision joined global leaders and partners to spotlight a critical truth: hunger is not just a food crisis—it’s a child protection crisis.

In humanitarian crises, food security is often treated as a standalone goal. But World Vision is helping shift that paradigm — proving that protecting children must be central to how we feed, recover, and rebuild. Together with the Child Protection Area of Responsibility, the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, Plan International, and the Food Security Cluster, World Vision is setting a new standard: one where child well-being is not an afterthought, but a core outcome of humanitarian response.

In the arid and semi-arid lands of Kajiado and Narok counties in Kenya, communities are reshaping how climate action is practiced — not by waiting for change, but by driving it themselves.

INEE has shaped Education in Emergencies (EiE) for 25 years—now it must evolve. From technical custodian to transformative convener, INEE can lead anticipatory, localized, integrated education systems. The future? Crisis-ready learning, equity, and youth-led innovation.

World Vision advocates fair pay and ethical workloads for community health workers to strengthen equitable, sustainable health systems worldwide.

Dr Kathryn Kraft, Global Research Technical Director, provides insight about how Faith-based intangibles—like spiritual resilience, moral authority, and empathy—are powerful yet often overlooked drivers of peacebuilding. She reflects on how integrating these unseen forces into humanitarian programming can deepen impact and foster more authentic, community-rooted change, especially in humanitarian responses.
