Regional: Triple HDP Nexus Approach to the Protracted Crises in Jordan and Iraq – MEN251 Rev.1

Ensuring that we tackle unprecedented levels of crises using a full range of responses to effectively save lives and deliver sustainable development, peace, and advocacy requires enhanced understanding and collaboration within and between organizations. The HDP Nexus Approach offers the opportunity for actors from different sectors to learn from each other; It is an approach to programming that focuses on a better transition and rehabilitation. The Regional: Triple HDP Nexus Approach to the Protracted Crises in Jordan and Iraq – MEN251 has now been revised.

Improving the linkages between humanitarian aid, development cooperation, peacebuilding and advocacy is at the basis of inclusive, conflict sensitive, and adaptive programming.

Via this Pilot Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus or Triple Nexus Appeal MEN251, ACT Alliance Iraq Forum Member LWF and Christian Aid Program – Kurdistan Region (CAP), and ACT Alliance Jordan Forum Member MECC will explore how to jointly work towards sustainable peace and development, thereby improving each of their individual approaches and enabling the teams to better address multi-faceted challenges in fragile contexts and contexts of conflict. Together, the requesting members will plan, monitor and evaluate their interventions, share feedback and adapt their interventions towards greater contributions to peace, more coordination, cooperation and collaboration, as well as strategic planning and higher degrees of local ownership.

During the appeal implementation period, the requesting members shall create synergies and common learning goals to achieve collective outcomes based on shared, risk-informed, context-relative, region-specific and gender sensitive analysis. This can be achieved through flexibility on working modalities within interventions that integrate all three pillars, as well as through parallel, coordinated, and complementary interventions.

This revision welcomed a new requesting member: Christian Aid Program – Kurdistan Region (CAP). Christian Aid Program – Kurdistan Region (CAP) are a local member in Iraq that have newly joined the ACT Alliance. They focus on health, livelihoods, community services, advocacy, and preserving Eastern Christianity. Christian Aid Program – Kurdistan Region (CAP) provides humanitarian assistance to IDPs and host communities, with a focus on minorities (Christians and Yazidis) and the most disadvantaged and vulnerable populations in the Kurdish regions of Northern Iraq.

This revision has also adapted the appeal to provide a better implementation towards a Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus approach by consulting with ACT’s Nexus Reference group as well as gathering thoughts from the ground and rights holders. The appeal has also seen adjustments in activities and budget.

The needed budget for this appeal is USD 3,366,350

Haiti: Response to Hurricane Melissa and Armed Conflict in Haiti – HTI251

The humanitarian situation in Haiti represents a compound crisis resulting from the convergence of a rapid-onset natural disaster Hurricane Melissa and a protracted conflict-driven emergency.
The impacts of Hurricane Melissa (Category 3) have severely intensified existing vulnerabilities created by years of armed violence, displacement, and economic collapse.
Together, these dual shocks have generated widespread destruction, displacement, and protection risks, straining the capacity of national institutions and humanitarian actors alike.

Between 26–30 October 2025, a Category 3 tropical cyclone, made landfall over southern Haiti, bringing torrential rainfall exceeding 400 mm, flash flooding, and coastal surges across seven departments — Ouest, Sud, Grand’Anse, Nippes, Sud-Est, Nord-Ouest and Artibonite.

According to the Direction Générale de la Protection Civile (DGPC), 43 people have died, 13 remain missing, and over 14 000 people have been displaced. According to the UN, 1.25 million people have been affected in Haiti. Approximately 16 000 homes have been damaged or destroyed, and 10 health facilities have reported flood-related disruptions.

Since 2021, Haiti has faced an escalating wave of armed conflict and gang violence, driving widespread displacement, insecurity, and humanitarian need.
An estimated 5,600 people were killed in 2024, with over 3,000 additional deaths recorded in the first half of 2025. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reports that over 1.4 million people are internally displaced, many living in overcrowded informal shelters without access to water, sanitation, or protection services.

Armed groups currently control approximately 85–90% of the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince, and have expanded their influence along the southern corridor, cutting off key supply routes and humanitarian corridors.

According to assessments key needs and gaps are Lack of safe potable water and adequate latrines for displaced and host populations,  Limited access to life-saving health and nutrition services,  Severe disruption of food security and agricultural livelihoods,  Unmet needs for emergency and transitional shelter and household kits, protection risks in collective shelters, including GBV exposure; and Persistent access and logistics constraints hindering timely delivery.

ACT Alliance members Christian Aid, Church World Service, Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe, Lutheran World Federation and World Renew have a developed an appeal addressing the urgent and medium-term needs of the affected population. detailed appeal can be accessed via the link.

Bangladesh: Rohingya Refugees Response – BGD251

The Cox’s Bazar crisis represents one of the world’s most protracted humanitarian emergencies, originating from the mass influx of over 745,000 Rohingya refugees from Rakhine State, Myanmar, in August 2017. Currently, around 1.14 million refugees live in 33 densely populated camps across Ukhiya and Teknaf upazilas, alongside a vulnerable host community. The situation has evolved beyond an acute emergency into a complex humanitarian-development challenge marked by severe food insecurity, deteriorating health conditions, and growing socio-environmental strain. Overcrowding within camps aggravated by high birth rates averaging 30,000–35,000 new births annually continue to stretch already limited resources, increase demand for maternal and child health services, and exacerbate sanitation challenges.

The demographic composition of the refugee population remains weighted toward vulnerable groups: 52 percent are women and girls, 49 percent are children under 18, and about 4 percent are older persons (UNHCR, July 2025). The majority are stateless ethnic Rohingya who remain fully dependent on humanitarian aid. Recurrent funding shortfalls have directly worsened living conditions. Since 2023, WFP has been forced to reduce food rations by up to 30 percent due to severe funding gaps, cutting monthly entitlements and pushing thousands of households into crisis-level food insecurity. Malnutrition rates have consequently risen, with Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) fluctuating between 8.6 and 12.7 percent (UNHCR, 2024).

The Joint Response Plan (JRP) and ISNA/J-MSNA assessments identify the most acute shortfalls in food security, health (including disease surveillance and primary care), nutrition, WASH, shelter-CCCM, protection (child protection, GBV), and education, with the greatest concentration of unmet needs in the most congested camps and in adjacent host-community. The JRP’s hyper-prioritization for 2025 lists food security, health & nutrition, shelter, protection, site management and WASH among the first-priority gaps to avoid a collapse in life-saving services (JRP 2025-26).

ACT Alliance members CCDB, Cordaid, HEKS/EPER and RDRS — have developed an appeal to address the urgent, medium- and long-term needs of these refugees in the camp. Detailed appeal is attached to here and a result matrix and budget will be shared upon request.

Palestine: ACT Palestine Forum Emergency Response in the Occupied Palestinian Territories – Gaza Conflict – PSE231 – Revision 2

On October 8, 2025, Hamas and the Israeli government reached an agreement on the first phase of a Gaza peace plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, which led to a ceasefire that took effect on October 10, 2025. However, the agreement remained fragile, with serious doubts regarding Israel’s full commitment — particularly as it continued to control the Rafah crossing, the main entry point for humanitarian, food, and medical aid to those affected by the war in Gaza.
Throughout the two years of war, the continuous bombardment across Gaza had forcibly displaced at least 85% of the population and injured more than 179,000 people.
The widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure had left nearly the entire population of Gaza without access to clean drinking water or adequate nutrition. According to UN reports, approximately 2.2 million people were at risk of famine, as noted in the UN update of August 22, 2025, while OCHA estimated that 0% of the population in Northern Gaza had access to safe drinking water. Gaza’s healthcare system had completely collapsed, with medical staff and patients repeatedly targeted and denied safe access to services, in blatant violations of international humanitarian and human rights law.

South Sudan: Emergency response, development and peace initiatives for flood affected IDPs, Refugees and affected communities in South Sudan. – SSD 241 (Revision 1)

As of 5th September 2025, South Sudan continues to face severe flooding, affecting over 1.4 million people and exacerbating public health risks, particularly the cholera outbreak (UNOCHA). The floods have destroyed vital infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and other communication networks. This in some areas has isolated flood affected populations, making it difficult for humanitarian agencies to access the affected communities.

An estimated 273,000 people are affected in 12 counties across four states, with Jonglei and Unity States accounting for over 91 per cent of those impacted.

Escalating violence and conflict in South Sudan since February 2025 have triggered renewed displacement and growing humanitarian needs across the region (UNHCR), following a sharp escalation of violence and insecurity since February 2025 (UNHCR).

Flood water has submerged farmland, homes, humanitarian compounds a disrupted access to education, health, nutrition and water services (UNOCHA).

Ukraine: Emergency and Resilience Response for war-affected communities – UKR251 Appeal 1st revision

Ukraine entered its fourth year of full-scale war and the eleventh year of conflict, the humanitarian
crisis remains severe and prolonged. 12.7 million people, 36% of the population, require
humanitarian assistance. The first half of 2025 saw intensified hostilities, mass displacement, and
worsening access constraints. Nearly one-third of households in front-line oblasts, including
Kharkivska, reported food insecurity as a major concern. Access to healthcare was severely limited
due to repeated attacks and rising costs.Between March and August 2025, Kharkiv experienced a
significant deterioration in its security and humanitarian situation due to intensified Russian military
operations and repeated attacks on civilian infrastructure. UNICEF reported 240 attacks on
educational facilities by June 2025, with many children unable to attend school due to safety
concerns.
Aid organizations reached 3.6 million people across Ukraine by June 2025, focusing on front-line
oblasts like Kharkivska. However, humanitarian access was increasingly restricted due to hostilities
and staff conscription. The UN launched a Winter Response Plan for 2025–2026, seeking $277.7
million to assist 1.7 million vulnerable people.

Five  members of the ACT Ukraine Forum ( CWS, Diakonia CRD, HEKS/EPER, HIA and LWF) are actively responding with an appeal to raise USD 14,307,294 until February 2027 to address the humanitarian situation in Ukraine thgrough activities that balance emergency aid with early recovery.
