About READ-It - Over the past 20 years there has been a concerted effort to use reliable evidence in making decisions about health care. READ-It aims to improve the evidence base and ensure its dissemination. READ-It helps ensure healthcare problems relevant to low- and middle-income countries are addressed, and that people living in these countries are part of the process. It is a major contributor to Cochrane, a global organization committed to preparing and updating systematic reviews, and coordinates the Cochrane Infectious Diseases Group (CIDG) and assists Cochrane in developing methods and editorial processes. It also works closely with policy makers. READ-It focuses on two main areas: - Reliable, up-to-date, scientifically defensible and relevant evidence in malaria and tuberculosis, child health, maternal health and health systems. - Effective dialogue and influence between research, policy and practice communities in public and private sector. READ-It's activities include: - Preparing and updating Cochrane Reviews about the effects of health care relevant to low- and middle-income countries. - Identifying approaches to ensure dissemination and use of the results of systematic reviews in decision making.

The overall humanitarian situation in Nepal has improved. However, a number of the population in earthquake-affected areas continues to require humanitarian assistance. Assessment findings of various agencies, clusters, HelpAge and partner organizations show that there are significant numbers of households headed by OP and/or widows/widowers. Such households are amongst the poorest and most vulnerable. Many of the 14 affected districts in Nepal have a high rate of migration, with nearly 5.6% of the population in the 14 districts away from their homes for work and other purposes. A 2011 Central Bureau of Statistics’ report found that one in four households had at least one male of working age working away from home. From such statistics, it is estimated that increasing numbers of OP have become responsible for supporting their families, mobilizing resources and caring for dependents including grandchildren. Since the earthquake, many OP are also now finding themselves looking after young dependents whose parents have either died, or been injured due to the earthquake. The geography and terrain of the affected districts coupled with poor infrastructure makes it difficult for vulnerable groups like OP and persons with disability (PwD) to access humanitarian aid. They are often excluded from needs assessments limiting access to assistance and posing risks for both OP and their family members. Many OP have reported their inability to queue and travel long distances to reach distribution points. As a result, they have reported missing out on receiving essential relief aid.

On 25th April, 2015, an earthquake with a 7.8 magnitude and a depth of 2 km, hit Nepal. The National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) reported a total of 8,462 deaths and another 20,000 people injured (cumulative from 25 April earthquake). It is also estimated that 489,000 homes have been destroyed and another 260,000 damaged . Whilst the initial quake caused significant damage, and loss of life, subsequent tremors have also proved destructive, and have disrupted relief efforts . As of 10th May, (prior to the second earthquake), 4.2 million people were thought to have been affected, with 2.8 million individuals displaced. 8.1% of Nepal’s population is aged 60 or over. HelpAge's Emergency programme was to assist Older People affected by the Nepal earthquake through provision of unconditional cash transfers, Improving access to health care, ensuring the needs are met of Older People living with disabilities, provision of transitional shelter

Federal Government Engagement: Support the federal ministries (MoF, MoHA and MoFE) and authorities (NDRRMA) to identify critical gaps in implementing approved policies using domestic finance and enhance collaboration and coordination to access international climate financing for mitigation, resilience, and adaptation.Provincial and Local Government Engagement: Systems strengthening through embedded staff at the provincial level and helping select local governments design and endorse (where applicable and demand led) and implement disaster resilience and climate adaptation policies into actionable plans using their own fiscal resources and international climate finance, where applicable.Accessing Climate Finance: Work with federal government and line ministries to support processes to develop proposals to access international climate finance and link with RAIN’s Component B on Climate Adaptation and Finance. (For example: establishing a unit within Ministry of Finance to coordinate the development of pipeline projects to access international climate finance).Strategic Learning Unit: Embedded within the Technical Assistance Facility will be a unit to help manage strategic learning and monitoring for the overall portfolio (RAIN). This will enable an adaptive and flexible management approach which is informed by data and evidence. This unit will collate evidence and identify demand led opportunities to pursue collaborative policy reforms to bring systemic change at the federal, provincial, and local levels by utilising evidence and knowledge from implementation. It will help connect and coordinate between different RAIN interventions, provide guidance on log frames (results framework), portfolio and component specific value for money indicators informing cost effectiveness and support BEK to organise steering committee and programme board meetings.

<p class="ql-align-justify">Hunger and severe malnutrition are surging in fragile and conflict-affected settings (FCASs), which often struggle to sustain resilient food, land, and water systems (FLWSs). For the 1.5 billion people living in FCASs (1), livelihood challenges and rising food, fertilizer, and input prices (2) are compounded by climate change, unsustainable resource consumption, poor governance, and weak social cohesion (3,4,5). Conflict and forced migration often result from, and further escalate, these challenges. Economic disruptions, such as those caused by COVID-19 and the Ukraine-Russia War, are sparking the risk of food and nutrition crises and poverty and conflict traps. Nearly 670 million people are projected to face hunger in 2030 — 8 % of the world population, and the same as in 2015 when the 2030&nbsp;Agenda and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were launched (6). </p><p class="ql-align-justify">By mid-2021, 84 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide; 80% of them experience acute food insecurity and high levels of malnutrition (7,8). Migration is an important development tool; it can support livelihoods, build resilience, and protect against fragility and conflict — particularly for youth (9,10). However, migration can strain FLWSs and create challenges for those left behind — especially women facing increased work burdens alongside insufficient decision-making authority and limited access to key assets and services (11,12). Currently, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) host 83% of the world’s refugees (9). Host communities struggle to provide livelihood opportunities for all; new arrivals often strain local infrastructure and services, put pressure on natural resources and the environment, and increase competition for jobs.</p><p class="ql-align-justify">By 2021, most food crises were due to conflict and insecurity (5). On average, 30% of the population in countries facing protracted crises lives in extreme poverty (<$1.90/day), compared to ~6% in LMICs overall (13). Climate change and social inequalities exacerbate conflict. Climate change is rapidly intensifying, increasing pressure on livelihoods and ecosystems (14). In 2020, about 25% of internally displaced people were displaced by conflict and violence, and the remainder by disasters, mostly weather-related (15). Social inequalities further increase risks of hunger and reduce access to benefits from FLWSs, while serving as structural constraints to stability and peace (16,17, 18). Women are disproportionately negatively affected by shocks and crises and have less access to channels of power and influence that could help them benefit from programming addressing these issues. Failure to address interactions between climate stress and human-made crises will escalate both problems. </p><p class="ql-align-justify">Governments and development organizations demand evidence to address these complex global crises. Poor governance and weak access to basic services, common features of FCASs, severely limit policy effectiveness and require novel solutions. &nbsp;The recent “Global Food Crisis Report 2022” highlighted the need to fill data gaps so that research and evidence guide proposed policy solutions <em>as well as </em>contextually appropriate implementation (5). And the Committee on World Food Security High Level Panel of Experts has called for a globally coordinated response to both address the humanitarian crisis and build more resilient FLWSs (19).</p><p class="ql-align-justify">A systems approach in partnership with those working in FCASs — incorporating women’s and youth’s voices — is needed to devise practical solutions that promote gender equity and social inclusion (GESI). CGIAR is uniquely positioned to generate evidence to support more effective and transformative policies and programming to enhance FLWS resilience in FCASs facing migration-related challenges, and to promote social equity, conflict mitigation, and peacebuilding (20).</p><p><br></p>
