Countries: World, Lesotho, Malawi, Nepal, Rwanda, Zimbabwe Source: UNAIDS GENEVA, **31 March 2026—** The HIV response is at a tipping point. If HIV prevention is deprioritized and defunded, gains made in stopping new HIV infections could be reversed. With 1.3 million new HIV infections per year in both 2023 and 2024, the world remains off-track to end the pandemic. Yet, global HIV prevention targets are achievable. At the end of 2024, five countries—Lesotho, Malawi, Nepal, Rwanda and Zimbabwe—had achieved a 75% reduction in new HIV infections compared to 2010. New targets for 2030, co-developed with countries and communities, have informed the new Global AIDS Strategy 2026-2031. The Global HIV Prevention Coalition (GPC), which was established in 2017 to strengthen and sustain political and financial commitment to primary prevention, has used these targets and the Strategy to develop the HIV Prevention 2030 Global Access Framework. “Our vision is that everyone in need has access to HIV prevention options. This is achievable if investments in prevention are robust and sustained, if countries ensure effective use of resources, and if programmes are evidence-based and grounded in human rights with communities at the centre,” said Angeli Achrekar, Deputy Executive Director of UNAIDS. The Access Framework outlines how, by 2030, countries can ensure that 90% of people in need of prevention services have access and that 90% of people living with HIV are virally suppressed. This, in combination, would lead to a 90% reduction in new HIV infections globally. To attain these targets in a time of limited resources, the 2030 Prevention Access Framework defines five Ps for prioritization: put the People in greatest need at the centre; Place—focus on the highest-burden locations; the right Platforms—for service delivery; the right Package—of prevention options to offer people choices; Price—cost effectiveness to ensure sustained country implementation. Ensuring access to HIV prevention now means shifting towards country-led and domestically funded programmes, finding local solutions for sustained impact. Topline targets for prevention options were translated into key numeric milestones for 2030: 40 million people living with HIV globally on HIV treatment; 20 million people accessing pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) options to prevent HIV; 20 billion condoms, and at least 20% of domestic HIV financing dedicated to prevention. The future of the HIV response will be determined by whether we can deliver combination prevention at scale, rooted in human rights and dignity, driven by governments, communities and young people, and integrated within sexual and reproductive health. UNFPA is committed to meeting the needs of all population groups, particularly those of adolescent girls and young women. We will continue working with partners to address critical gaps to ensure no one is left behind.” said Pio Smith Deputy Executive Director ai UNFPA HIV prevention innovations have further expanded choice for populations at risk. New long-acting options for prevention such as lenacapavir—twice yearly injections to prevent HIV—are becoming available. Trusted access platforms such as stigma-free health services integrating HIV prevention, community outreach, pharmacies, youth-innovative virtual and telehealth platforms, supported by generative AI, are critical in facilitating access to prevention options. “The cost of inaction is detrimental. Innovations, including new and emerging long-acting prevention options, especially lenacapavir, have added toto the array of prevention choices. Now, speed, scale and equity are still needed to translate exciting science into public health impact,” said Mitchell Warren, GPC Co-chair and Executive Director of AVAC. “History will judge us harshly if we as a global community fail to meet this scientific moment.” Despite global commitments, primary prevention investments remain far below required levels particularly in many low- and middle-income countries. Governments need to commit at least one fifth of domestic HIV funding to HIV prevention programmes and ensure prevention commodities such as anti-retroviral-based prevention, condoms, needles and syringes and voluntary medical male circumcision for HIV prevention should be available and accessible to users at affordable prices. “A fit-for-purpose global prevention mechanism must reinforce country leadership, safeguard and optimize prevention financing, and align partners and resources to country priorities and systems,, which will reduce fragmentation and strengthen prioritization and timely decision making so that available resources are fully leveraged for impact,” said Dr. Nduku Kilonzo, GPC co-chair, Secretary of the HIV Multisector Leadership Forum UNAIDS, UNFPA, GPC and partners will continue to steer progress through a global campaign to sustain momentum and reach the 2030 prevention targets. UNAIDS The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) leads and inspires the world to achieve its shared vision of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths. UNAIDS unites the efforts of 11 UN organizations—UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP, UNDP, UNFPA, UNODC, UN Women, ILO, UNESCO, WHO and the World Bank—and works closely with global and national partners towards ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030 as part of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Country: World Source: UNAIDS Please refer to the attached file. The urgent need to accelerate progress The 2025 global HIV prevention targets were not achieved. By the end of 2024, annual new HIV acquisitions had reached their lowest level in more than three decades. But the decline was not steep enough to reach the 2025 target of an 80% reduction in new infections between 2010 and 2025. By the end of 2024, new infections globally had declined by about 40%. Five countries—Lesotho, Malawi, Nepal, Rwanda and Zimbabwe—did achieve a 75% reduction between 2010 and 2024 (1), demonstrating that the targets were achievable. Those advances were the result of strong political will, scale up of prevention and treatment, community leadership and global solidarity. However, globally the decline in new HIV acquisitions was much too slow to meet the 2025 and 2030 targets (fewer than 200 000 new HIV infections per year in 2030). Overall, an estimated 1.3 million (1 million – 1.7 million) people newly acquired HIV in 2024. Even in settings with declining HIV incidence, some groups, in particular key populations, are being left behind. While new HIV infections are declining in Africa, they are stagnating and growing in other regions (Figure 1).

Country: occupied Palestinian territory Source: International Committee of the Red Cross In the West Bank, residents of Hebron’s Old City live with the daily, tangible effects of more than 20 years of movement restrictions. An ICRC livelihood programme seeks to bring positive change. Hamdi Deis works diligently on his computer from his home in the quiet streets of Tel Rumeida within Hebron’s “H2” restricted area. A recent graduate of the International Committee of the Red Cross’ (ICRC) vocational training programme, he completed a course in graphic design, specializing in branding. Hamdi lives with a disability that limits his mobility and had to leave school because it was not accessible for him. Before finding the ICRC programme, he had taught himself the basics of design. Now, he takes pride in creating brand designs for a company in Hebron. “I am thinking of starting my own project to work online as a freelancer and provide services to different companies,” he says. But living in Hebron’s H2 area brings a distinct challenge: freedom of movement is severely restricted. H2 residents need to cross multiple checkpoints to go to work or return home. These checkpoints separate them from the rest of the city, and significantly affect access to health care, basic services and livelihoods. The ICRC programme that Hamdi benefited from in aims to help participants find employment through a ten-month intensive diploma in an area that aligns with their interests and goals. Participants are matched up with businesses for a six-month internship, receiving a stipend and with tuition covered by the ICRC. In this way, the programme seeks to help residents who may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of the movement restrictions in the H2 area. Tamara Tamimi is another participant in the programme, and has already started her own business creating handmade flower bouquets from folded fabrics and ribbons. As part of the programme, she gained digital marketing skills that allowed her to reach a wider audience beyond the restricted area. Now, she’s able to support her family financially despite those restrictions. ICRC support goes beyond vocational training. We also provide grants to help people grow existing businesses or launch new ones. Haneen Nahawi, a resident of Hebron’s H2 area, is one such recipient. She started an embroidery business from her home. With the grant, she purchased a computer that enabled her to take her work to the next level. Haneen now uses embroidery to create interactive educational tools under her own brand: ‘Wasileh’. What began as a small idea is growing, and Haneen hopes to expand her business beyond Hebron. When announcing the programme, the ICRC meets with communities to explain the requirements for enrolment and how to register online. These meetings also explain what to expect from the programme. Jabrin Al-Jaabari used his grant to open a blacksmith shop near his home. Jabarin, who takes a creative approach to his craft, used the grant funding to enhance his work. “I spend time looking at different metal works online and use what I see to experiment with new designs,” he says. From his workshop in the H2 area, he creates decorations for Muslim and Christian holidays alongside traditional blacksmith work.

Countries: Cameroon, Chad Source: World Food Programme Please refer to the attached file. SITUATION OVERVIEW • Cameroon is facing a neglected humanitarian crisis marked by overlapping emergencies: armed clashes between non-state armed groups (NSAGs) and state security forces in the Northwest and the Southwest Regions; NSAG insurgency and climate shocks in the Far North Region; and an influx of Central African Republic refugees in the Adamawa, East and North Regions. These emergencies have resulted in over 2.2 million forcibly displaced persons, including 408,620 refugees, one million internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 790,850 returnees. • GDP projected growth of 4.4 percent in 2025, but food and nutritional needs remain severe. 2.9 million people are projected to face IPC3+ food insecurity between June and August 2026, including 250,000 people in IPC4. Stunting is affecting 29 percent of children under five with rates as high as 40 percent in some areas. Furthermore, 1.5 million school age children require education support due to conflict. • WFP delivers lifesaving food and nutrition assistance while strengthening resilience among refugees, IDPs, and host communities across six crisis-affected regions. WFP also supports capacity strengthening of national institutions to identify and address the root causes of food insecurity; and provides logistics and air transport services to humanitarian partners to reinforce national and regional stability.

Country: Vanuatu Source: Government of Vanuatu Please refer to the attached file. Eleven (11) new ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) cases were reported nationally, bringing the cumulative total to 75 cases. No deaths were reported during this period; one (1) case was hospitalised and later discharged, with no current hospitalisations. Case numbers declined slightly from Epiweek 09 to Epiweek 11, remained below the alert threshold during that time, and exceeded the alert threshold in Epiweek 12. Males accounted for 60% of cases, while females represented 40%. The 15–34‑year age group was the most affected. Most cases were linked to consumption of unspecified “other” fish, followed by reef fish, Karosol fish, red fish, and smaller numbers associated with shellfish, trevally, red mouth, and parrot fish. Cases were reported across eight islands, with Efate accounting for the highest proportion (63%) The Surveillance Team will continue to closely monitor the situation and provide updates as required.

Country: Somalia Source: Save the Children MOGADISHU, 31 March 2026 – Prices for food, fuel and water in Somalia soared in March, with conflict in the Middle East compounding a humanitarian emergency in the already fragile country where one in three people are going hungry daily, Save the Children said. Fuel prices in Mogadishu surged 150% in March, from $0.60 to $1.50 per litre, with many imported food items doubling in retail price in just two weeks, according to the Somali government. Somalia’s electricity supply, which relies heavily on diesel generators, also saw sharp cost increases, with pressures felt by households as well as schools and hospitals. Sorghum and maize prices – staple grains which form part of most family meals – rose by 25% and 33% respectively, while the World Food Programme reported that essential commodity prices across Somalia have increased by at least 20%. Somalia is heavily dependent on food imports, with food imports and food aid making up over 70% of the food consumed, according to the FAO. Halimo*, a business woman from Puntland in Somalia told Save the Children: “The cost of living has really gone up for us, especially with fuel becoming so expensive. Every single item has had $10 or $15 added to its price. The amount people used to buy has decreased, and everyone is complaining about it. It is well known that this issue is everywhere; whoever used to buy two sets of groceries now takes just one. All purchasing has declined. Absolutely everything brought to us has gone up in price.” Rising shipping costs are also directly reducing the volume of food aid that can be purchased and delivered to children and families in Somalia, with the UN reporting severe pipeline disruptions for critical nutritional supplies – including Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food, the primary clinical treatment for children with severe acute malnutrition. The soaring prices are intensifying one of the most severe hunger crises that Somalia has faced in recent years following three failed rainy seasons that have further reduced local agriculture, said Save the Children. Already one in three people in Somalia –6.5 million people, or about 32% of the population – are facing severe food shortages, with hunger levels approaching the 2022 peak when the country stood on the brink of famine. This is nearly double the number assessed to be facing high levels of acute food insecurity in August 2025, according to the WHO. The most recent analysis by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) — the leading international authority on the severity of hunger crises—found that 1.84 million children under five, or over 61,000 classrooms of children, are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition across 2026, including 483,000 severe cases requiring urgent treatment. Disease is making the situation worse, with Save the Children recording outbreaks of acute watery diarrhea, cholera, measles, and diphtheria in parts of southern and central Somalia, each of which accelerates acute malnutrition in young children. Mohamud Mohamed Hassan, Save the Children’s Country Director for Somalia, said: “When one in three people cannot access enough food to survive, it is already a crisis. The Middle East conflict is now making everything harder – food that was barely affordable is now out of reach, fuel costs are eating into every aspect of the response, and the therapeutic food that keeps severely malnourished children alive is stuck in disrupted supply chains. Somalia cannot absorb any more shocks without catastrophic consequences for children. “The international community stepped up in 2022 to prevent a famine. We need that same urgency today. Donors must close the funding gap immediately, and global actors must ensure that humanitarian supply chains to countries like Somalia are not sacrificed to the consequences of conflicts elsewhere. Every week of delay has a direct cost in children’s lives.” Somalia’s 2026 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan requires $852 million to reach those in greatest need. It remains critically underfunded – only 10.9% funded as of early March. As a result, about 600,000 vulnerable people have already lost access to food and cash assistance. Save the Children is currently responding across Somalia, delivering food assistance, nutrition treatment, clean water, child protection services, and education support to children and families across the country. Our teams are working to maintain continuity of services despite rising operational costs and compounding supply delays. Save the Children has been working in Somalia since 1951, delivering life-saving health, nutrition, education and protection services. In 2025, Save the Children reached 3.5 million people, including 1.9 million children across 17 regions in the country.

Countries: World, Algeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gambia, Kenya, Mali, Nigeria, occupied Palestinian territory, Senegal, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Tunisia, Uganda Source: Life for Relief and Development According to reports released for 2026, Life For Relief and Development (LIFE) has secured the third position among the world’s best humanitarian organizations for its rapid emergency response, the fifth position as the best organization fighting global poverty, and the fifth position as the best organization operating in Palestine. Founded over 33 years ago in the United States, LIFE holds consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. These rankings reflect its constant preparedness to respond to global disasters and emergencies, as well as its expansion and presence over the past years in more than 60 countries through comprehensive projects executed via its 14 offices worldwide. Over these years, LIFE has distributed more than $624 million in humanitarian aid, earning a 96% rating from the Charity Navigator review board. It has also been recommended by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and was awarded the Dubai Humanitarian Award last April for the most impactful humanitarian partnership, for its project building shelters for displaced persons in the Gaza Strip. These shelters protected people from winter cold and rain, summer heat and humidity, insects, and fire hazards during ongoing shelling. Emergency Relief for Earthquake Disasters in Tunisia, Algeria, and North Africa Africa and the Middle East are among the regions most affected by wars and ongoing environmental disasters. LIFE has ensured preparedness and preemptive readiness to respond to emergencies. This was evident in its presence in North Africa in 1994 when LIFE began operations in Tunisia after an earthquake struck the region, with aftershocks continuing for more than five years. During this period, LIFE’s teams supported displaced families whose homes were damaged due to weak building structures in Tunisia and Algeria. LIFE also responded to the major earthquake in Algeria in 2003, the effects of which remain today—not only in the memories of those affected but also in the need to assist 95,000 people who lost their homes and urgently required temporary shelters and resettlement. LIFE teams provided relief, including food, water, temporary shelter, healthcare, and medicine, and tracked displaced persons from affected areas to neighboring states to ensure they received the support needed to rebuild stable lives. Support continued during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2022) and during the floods that struck several African countries in 2022. LIFE was on high alert, with teams on the ground immediately delivering urgent aid and medical supplies in Gambia, Mali, Senegal, Nigeria, Uganda, Ivory Coast, and Sri Lanka. Subsequently, during waves of drought and famine affecting the region, LIFE provided emergency relief in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Somaliland, and Sudan. Seasonal Projects and Orphan Sponsorships LIFE has also implemented seasonal projects, providing Ramadan food baskets, sacrificial meat, and winter supplies such as blankets and heating materials for displaced families and needy households in Algeria and 22 other African countries. Additionally, LIFE has developed drinking water projects across Africa and other countries worldwide, totaling 1,473 wells over these years, including 267 wells in 2025 alone. The organization supports 13,100 orphans in Africa and 22 countries globally. In 2025, LIFE assisted nearly 29,000 orphan students by covering school expenses and educational supplies in 28 countries. The organization also provides university scholarships and, to combat malnutrition, supplied vitamin-enriched food to 19,000 families in Africa, the Middle East, and Gaza. Addressing the Largest Child Displacement in Africa LIFE intervened during the largest wave of child displacement in Sudan following conflicts, operating at the heart of the crisis despite security risks to provide urgent shelter, medical, and humanitarian support to war-affected populations. LIFE also supported Sudanese refugees in Egypt and neighboring African countries with essential emergency aid, focusing on the most vulnerable groups, especially women and children, who suffered intimidation and the loss of property and families. The organization provided medical care, medicines, hygiene and sanitation supplies, and prenatal and geriatric care, as well as health services for children. Humanitarian Solidarity and Relief Despite challenges over the past years, LIFE has continuously operated multiple projects alongside its relief efforts in Gaza. The organization has provided food and humanitarian assistance to 1.2 million refugees worldwide and healthcare services to 30,000 of them. Around $27 million were spent on healthcare programs and medical supplies globally. Seasonal initiatives included delivering 11 million meals during Ramadan across 36 countries and distributing sacrificial meat to 450,000 people in 38 countries, including 50,000 in Gaza alone. Winter supplies, including clothing, heating devices, and firewood, were provided to 9,000 families. LIFE also drilled 267 wells last year in 18 countries, bringing the total to 1,476 wells.

Countries: Mozambique, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, United Republic of Tanzania, Zimbabwe Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached Infographic. Click here to access the interactive Activations in Southern Africa: July 2023 – December 2025 Southern Africa AA Activation Dashboard – Six Key Messages 1. The evidence is clear, now it’s time to scale Since July 2023, anticipatory action has reached 3 million people across 8 countries, with US$ 65 million disbursed through 39 organizations. The evidence is well documented: conservative estimates from the 2023–2024 El Niño drought show anticipatory investments yielded a 30 per cent net benefit over traditional response, and reached populations at risk 6 to 10 months earlier than the El Niño response interventions, reducing negative coping mechanisms before they took hold. Yet, despite growing proof of impact and increasing use of predictive analytics, pre-agreed plans and pre-arranged financing, operations have not reached transformative scale. Fragmentation, uneven adoption and insufficient financing continue to limit the full potential of anticipatory action in the region. 2. Integration is the missing link between projects and systems Sustainable anticipatory action requires embedding AA into national Disaster Risk Management and Financing frameworks – mandating anticipatory roles, permitting ex-ante use of public funds under pre-agreed triggers, and bridging the disconnect between national and local risk governance. The November 2025 Regional AA After Action Review called on governments to clarify responsibilities at every level and ensure AA is strategically led nationally while fully operationalized locally. The 39 organizations delivering AA across the region provide a strong foundation; what is needed now is the institutional architecture to sustain and scale it. 3. Pre-arranged, flexible financing is the engine of anticipatory action Without financing committed before a shock strikes, AA stalls at planning. The US$ 65 million disbursed since July 2023, led by the WFP HQ Trust Fund (US$ 23 million), CERF (US$ 18 million), and Start Network (US$9 million), demonstrates the diversity of financing mechanisms driving anticipatory action across the region, with pooled funds like CERF playing a particularly critical role in enabling fast, flexible disbursement. For example, in early 2025, CERF released funds in just 13 minutes ahead of Tropical Cyclone Jude’s landfall in Mozambique. As the approach expands, partners and governments must strengthen risk-layered financing systems that connect humanitarian, development, and disaster‑risk financing tools, ensuring coherence between AA, contingency funds, insurance mechanisms, and social protection programmes. This requires diversifying funding sources further, including climate finance and private sector capital, so that anticipatory and early action becomes the norm rather than the exception. 4. Strong early warning systems are indispensable for timely and effective action Southern Africa’s hazard profile is extremely diverse: activations have spanned drought (US$ 42.1 million), cyclones (US$ 8.5 million), floods (US$4.1 million), disease outbreaks, pests, conflict, and electoral violence. This complexity demands harmonized, impact-based triggers and forecasting systems accessible at the community level, not just to national agencies. National meteorological and hydrological services remain underfunded across the region. Strengthening hydrometeorological infrastructure, open data standards, and inter-operable early warning systems across the region is foundational to making anticipatory action work for the communities that need it most. 5. Anticipatory action is feasible and urgently needed in complex and fragile settings Nearly 40 per cent of all AA activations globally in 2024 took place in fragile and conflict-affected countries, and Southern Africa reflects this acutely, with DRC activations spanning floods and disease outbreaks across health, protection, and WASH sectors. Challenges around data gaps, access, and administrative barriers remain significant, and while early experiences with local partnerships, flexible financing, open-source forecasting tools, and conflict-sensitive design are promising, continued investment and learning will be essential to operating effectively in the region’s most complex settings. 6. Localization and community leadership unlock the full value of anticipatory action Anticipatory action only delivers when it is locally owned, community-informed, and designed with, not just for, the people most at risk. The 2025 AAR emphasized the varied roles of communities and local actors in enabling effective adaptation, preparedness and early action. Across Southern Africa, local actors, including national NGOs, local authorities and community-based structures, are playing a growing role in delivering early warning messages, implementing pre-agreed actions, monitoring impact and strengthening feedback loops. Advancing this requires long-term partnerships, effective community feedback mechanisms, and financing that progressively shifts leadership and resources to local and national actors.
