🌍📢The 2024 Global Hunger Index (#GHI) reveals little progress in reducing hunger since 2016 and dim prospects for achieving Zero Hunger by 2030. Multiple factors, including conflict, climate change, and economic downturns and structural inequalities, drive this lack of progress. ⚠️At PIN, we see that many countries we work in face moderate to alarming hunger levels, reflecting persistently high child undernutrition. In our country programmes, we are working hard to realise 2024's GHI theme, How #GenderJustice can advance #ClimateResilience and #ZeroHunger. 🔍For example, with a score of 30.8, placing it 116th out of 127 countries scored for the 2024 index, #Afghanistan has a hunger level that is considered SERIOUS. 💡Our colleagues in Afghanistan are working hard to bring cash assistance to families so they can meet their nutritional needs. This project is supported by Stichting Vluchteling. 📚Learn more: https://buff.ly/3NOQ62K The GHI is an annual peer-reviewed look at 🌍 hunger and food and nutrition insecurity prepared by our Alliance2015 partners Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe (WHH).

We organised the Third Transboundary Workshop between #Cambodia and #LaoPDR on Disaster Risk Management for Natural Disasters and Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) in Integrated Water Resources Management from 19 – 20 November 2024 in Pakse, Lao PDR. This collaborative event, organised under the Mekong Urban Resilience Project, funded by UNDP and led by People In Need, brought together groups from both countries, including NCDM, Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology (Cambodia), MoNRE, PONRE, International Labour Organization, UNDP, and Oxfam. The workshop explored the potential of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) in integrated water resource management. The purpose was to exchange knowledge and foster collaboration in disaster risk reduction and natural resource management, raise awareness of the critical role of NbS in reducing disaster risks, and demonstrate the effectiveness of successful practices in mitigating the impacts of natural disasters. We wish to thank all participants for their valuable insights and contributions. Together, we are building a stronger and more resilient Mekong Basin! 🌊🙏 If you wish to learn more about how we work with communities to deploy Early Warning Systems to mitigate the devastation caused by natural disasters, check out the article on our website: https://buff.ly/3OrAaDF   #MekongBasin #WaterResourcesManagement #Hydrology #TransboundaryCooperation #CommunityResilience #NatureBasedSolutions

Motivation and enthusiasm for a greener landscape - these were the characteristics that united the 23 Czech and Slovak representatives at the recent Ekocentrum #PALETA training in #Pardubice, #Czechia!   💧 During the introductory training for the #LIFEWILL - Water in Landscape and Soil project, participants explored what difficulties related to the Czech Republic were a direct result of climate change and what they, both as individuals and community members, could do about them.   💚 Participants worked tirelessly to create strong and realistic visions for the future! We are eager to see what they accomplish next!   Project Manager Hana Stuchlík Kašpaříková spoke about just how important the training was for her and how it helped to establish a strong network of people with a common interest and "places to go to for inspiration." 🤝 Thanks to our partners at the Association of Local Governments, Beleco and DAPHNE - Inštitút aplikovanej ekológie for their help during this training. Additionally, special thanks to NaZemi for their great Saturday workshop, as well as to all the speakers and to LIFE Programme for making this training possible.   👉 For more information, please visit: https://lnkd.in/eW2zQ6Uu

🗓️ On 20/11, we visited a collective centre in #Zaporizhzhia with Mr Hans Das, the Deputy Director-General and COO of EU in Emergencies, along with a team of dedicated colleagues. 🏡Our visit focused on a dormitory repurposed to provide refuge for individuals and families displaced by the ongoing war. The visit allowed us to speak with the dormitory's residents and management team. These interactions gave us deep insights into their circumstances, needs, aspirations, and the realities of their day-to-day lives. 🙌 Thanks to generous financial assistance from #ECHO, our People in Need Ukraine team has carried out significant rehabilitation work on the facility. These efforts have been essential in ensuring that those who seek refuge here can live in conditions that afford them dignity and a sense of normalcy amid the turmoil. The residents expressed gratitude for the sanctuary provided by the centre while emphasising their desire to one day return and rebuild their homes. We remain committed to supporting those affected by the war and will continue working tirelessly to help in their time of need.🤝 #HumanitarianAid #Solidarity #Resilience #EuropeanUnion #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine

🌏Last week, the Caraga Regional Forum in Butuan City, Philippines, convened 17 civil society organisations (CSOs) and local government units (LGUs)to strengthen governance partnerships and community-driven development initiatives. The forum brought together organisations from across Mindanao, focusing on critical themes, including inclusive governance, peacebuilding, social services, economic development, and climate resilience. Through interactive sessions and focused group discussions, participants developed practical roadmaps for sustainable community development and stronger institutional partnerships. The forum, funded by European Union in the Philippines and organised by People in Need Philippines , Balay Mindanaw Foundation Inc., and MARADECA, demonstrated the importance of local insights in shaping regional development. The outcomes emphasised the crucial role of CSO-LGU collaboration in creating lasting positive change and establishing a framework for continued community-centred governance in the #Caraga region. 🙏We want to thank everyone who made this event such a success! #CSOforgoodgovernance #CommunityDrivenSolutions #CSOLGUcollaboration #Philippines #ClimateResilience #PeaceBuilding #SocialServices #InclusiveGovernance

Motivace a nadšení do práce pro zdravější krajinu – ty spojily zástupkyně a zástupce 22 českých a jedné slovenské obce, kteří o víkendu přijeli do pardubického Ekocentra Paleta!    💧 Během našeho úvodního školení k projektu LIFE WILL – Voda v krajině a půdě dostali hlubší přehled o tom, jakými neduhy trpí česká krajina a jaký vliv na ni má klimatická změna. Dozvěděli se také, co potřebujeme pro její uzdravení, a co můžou dělat právě oni ve svých obcích.   💚 Radujeme se z toho, s jakou chutí a jak usilovně se po tři dny školení pracovalo, a že se snad pro každou zapojenou obec začaly rodit vize, se kterými se místní pustí do práce!   „Potvrdilo se mi, jak důležité je síťování lidí, kteří mají společný zájem ─ třeba na podpoře zadržování vody v krajině,“ říká naše projektantka Hana Stuchlík Kašpaříková. „Skupina starostů/tek a dalších lidí z vedení měst a obcí tak dalo základ vytvoření inspirativní skupiny lidí, kteří zrealizují na svých územích vodozádržná a protierozní opatření. Vznikne tak síť míst, kam bude možné jezdit se inspirovat,” dodává optimisticky.    🤝 Děkujeme našim partnerům Sdružení místních samospráv, Beleco a DAPHNE - Inštitút aplikovanej ekológie za skvělou spolupráci, organizaci NaZemi za skvělý sobotní workshop, všem přednášejícím a LIFE Programme že se to všechno může dít.   👉 Více informací najdete na našem webu: https://lnkd.in/eNzM7qQK Jakub Zelený Vojtěch Kotecký Veronika Sindlerova
