How our reach is shaped


Our geographic reach is shaped by community needs, vulnerability, operational access and programme requirements, with implementation undertaken through local relationships and structures.

We maintain the flexibility to expand our coverage in response to emerging humanitarian needs, new partnerships and operational priorities — subject to needs assessments, access, resources and coordination with relevant authorities and stakeholders.
