Country: World Source: International Rescue Committee Please refer to the attached file. Which humanitarian interventions deliver the most impact per dollar? The International Rescue Committee has identified, through years of rigorous research, a set of high-impact interventions that deliver outsized results for every dollar invested. Download the two-pager for the evidence behind each, or read on for a summary. Humanitarian needs have reached record levels while available funding shrinks. Seventeen countries at the intersection of extreme poverty, conflict and climate vulnerability are home to 70% of people in humanitarian need, yet receive a fraction of the funding required. Every dollar must work harder. The two-pager addresses the following questions, drawing on evidence across health and survival, women's empowerment, education, and cash and resilience: How can we reach children with vaccines in conflict zones at low cost? Through the IRC's REACH program with Gavi, mobile teams and pop-up clinics have delivered over 24 million doses, with delivery costs falling to ~$2 per dose at scale. What is the most cost-effective way to treat acute malnutrition? A simplified malnutrition treatment protocol matches standard care outcomes at one-fifth less cost, enabling treatment for more children with the same resources. How can health systems prevent maternal deaths in low-resource settings? Community-based distribution of misoprostol cuts postpartum hemorrhage risk by 80%, extending coverage to communities that facility-based care cannot reach. What is the return on investment for infection prevention in crisis settings? Effective prevention and control halves infection-related deaths and saves over $16 in treatment costs for every $1 invested. How cost-effective is reproductive health programming in humanitarian contexts? Every $1 spent on contraceptive services saves $2.50 in health care costs, while self-injection innovations and community health workers extend access to women in crisis settings. Can humanitarian programming reduce intimate partner violence cost-effectively? An integrated IRC approach in the DRC achieved a 77% reduction in intimate partner violence at 27% lower cost than stand-alone programs. Is remote early learning a cost-effective response to disrupted schooling? The IRC's Remote Early Learning Program delivers a year's worth of preschool gains in 11 weeks via WhatsApp, at 20% lower cost than in-person preschool. How does cash compare to in-kind aid in cost-efficiency? Cash transfers reach 18% more people and generate $2 in local economic activity for every $1 transferred, by removing supply chain costs and giving families direct purchasing choice. Can anticipatory action reduce humanitarian costs before disasters hit? Pre-shock cash and early warning systems help families preserve assets and meet basic needs, reducing the cost burden of post-crisis response. The IRC's anticipatory action model now operates in five countries. As the gap between humanitarian need and available funding widens, these highest-return investments offer the clearest path to reaching more people with fewer resources.

Countries: Nigeria, Somalia Source: Médecins Sans Frontières Obstetric fistula is a devastating yet preventable condition that continues to affect women with limited access to pre- and postnatal care. When Aisha* arrived at Jahun General Hospital in Jigawa state in northern Nigeria she was in deep physical and emotional pain: She had not only lost her child during delivery, but had sustained an injury while giving birth. On the other side of the African continent, Hodan* walked into Bay Regional Hospital in Baidoa, southwestern Somalia, after suffering for eight years from urinary incontinence caused by a difficult delivery. She had been married as a teenager in a village on the rural outskirts of Bur Hakaba. Her first delivery was prolonged and complicated; the baby was delivered with forceps but did not survive. Soon after, Hodan lost control of her bladder, and she was too ashamed to talk about her condition for years. These two women, thousands of miles apart, suffer from the same condition: obstetric fistula. This condition develops when the soft tissue between the birth canal and bladder or rectum is damaged through prolonged, obstructed labor without timely access to emergency obstetric care, creating a permanent opening through which urine or stool leaks continuously. Many of the women who reach us have lived with this condition for years before they even knew what it was. Fistula care is not only about surgery. It is about listening, counseling, and helping women rebuild their confidence. At Jahun General Hospital and at Bay Regional Hospital, teams from Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the respective state ministries of health provide reconstructive surgery, psychological support, and rehabilitation to women living with obstetric fistula. Risk factors for obstetric fistula The risk for fistula is highest where women marry and give birth young; where childhood malnutrition is widespread; where female genital mutilation is common; and where health systems cannot guarantee an emergency cesarean section in time. In Nigeria and Somalia, these factors overlap. So do insecurity, displacement, and long distances that many women must travel to reach a functioning health facility. Beyond physical injury — which can cause chronic pain, recurring infections, and an increased risk of kidney damage — women living with fistula often face stigma, exclusion from work and community life, and even, in many cases, divorce. How MSF cares for patients with obstetric fistula The 55-bed fistula ward at the Jahun General Hospital is, by design, more than a surgical facility. Care is free. Women stay between two and three months. Each patient may need one or more reconstructive surgeries, supported by physiotherapy, mental health care, and nutrition. “Most of the women who reach us have already given birth somewhere else or tried to — often at home, and often after several days of labor,” says Dr. Raphael Kananga, MSF medical coordinator in Nigeria. “By the time they arrive at our hospital, they have already sustained an injury, often with additional infections and complications. Surgical repair is possible, but this should have been prevented from happening in the first place.” Since the project opened in 2008, the teams have performed more than 6,000 fistula surgeries in Jahun. In 2025, 295 women were admitted and 224 had reconstructive surgery. From January to March 2026, 64 more women had already been admitted to the facility, with 48 already receiving surgical care. Most of the women who reach us have already given birth somewhere else or tried to — often at home, and often after several days of labor. By the time they arrive at our hospital, they have already sustained an injury, often with additional infections and complications. Aisha has already had two surgeries and is preparing for a third. “At first, I thought I would never be cured,” she says. “Then I came here and saw other women with the same condition. I realized I was not alone.” In southwestern Somalia, the fistula unit at Bay Regional Hospital offers free surgical repair, pre- and post-operative care, counseling, and nutrition support. Since opening in 2025, 38 women have been treated. Across the country, several thousand more women are estimated to need this care but are unable to access it. Dr. Idris Suleiman Abubakar, fistula surgeon at Jahun General Hospital Courage to come forward The most terrible thing about obstetric fistula is that women suffer it when they bring another life into this world. Here you have a woman trying to bring another life, and at the end, she suffers, she often loses the child, and she is left with this condition. We have seen women in our practice [struggle with their mental health] because of this condition. It is something even the woman herself is ashamed of. So it takes courage, and a great deal of self-confidence, for her to come forward at all. Imagine a woman who has lost all hope of ever living a normal life again, and through the work you do, she is returned to what she thought she would never reach again. That is when you see real happiness in another person. And that gives me joy. That is what keeps taking me back. ... From there, I understood why I am drawn back to fistula work. If we really want to tackle obstetric fistula, every pregnant woman must deliver in a properly equipped facility, with personnel trained in midwifery. Without that, even women who reach a health facility will continue to develop fistulas — because the skilled care needed to prevent them is not actually there. Barriers to accessing fistula care "Many of the women who reach us have lived with this condition for years before they even knew what it was, or that anything could be done about it,” says Frida Athanassiadis, MSF medical coordinator in Somalia. “Fistula care is not only about surgery. It is about listening, counseling, and helping women rebuild their confidence.” Hodan lived with the condition for eight years before a relative told her about the new service in Baidoa. “For a long time, I did not know there was a name for what was wrong with me. I did not know there was treatment,” she says. At first, I thought I would never be cured. Then I came here and saw other women with the same condition. I realized I was not alone. Jahun is the only facility with the capacity to provide vesicovaginal fistula reconstructive surgical services in Jigawa state. In Somalia, the fistula unit at Bay Regional Hospital in Baidoa is the only facility in Southwest state and one of the few facilities in the country able to offer specialized repair. The limited number of services, combined with insecurity, displacement, poverty, and long travel distances, means this care remains beyond reach for most women who need it. How to prevent obstetric fistula Fistula is completely preventable. What stops fistula from occurring in the first place is clear: prenatal care that identifies risks early, trained midwives within reach of the women they serve, a functional referral pathway, and access to emergency cesarean section before prolonged labor causes tissue damage. There is an urgent need for sustained investment in maternal and newborn care in both Somalia and Nigeria. Prenatal services, skilled birth attendants, timely emergency obstetric care, and specialized repair must be available for women who need it. * Names changed for privacy

Four days before what would have been her 100th birthday, Hollywood legends look back on their friendships with a woman who, underneath the studio sheen, was warm, supportive and empathetic You can judge a woman by the people she surrounds herself with. For the last few months I’ve been talking to the people Marilyn Monroe surrounded herself with, during her eventful 36 years on earth. Ostensibly and primarily, I was doing this to make a radio documentary, which begins on what would have been her 100th birthday. But I also had a secret secondary motive: I wanted to find out if – maybe in another life – Marilyn and I might have been friends. The first thing to say about Monroe’s friends is that she had a lot of them. The fact that more than six decades have passed since her death, and it’s still possible to find enough living people to interview, tells you something. This is all the more surprising because MM (as she’s sometimes referred to in fan circles) seems far too much the archetypal, immortal screen goddess to do anything as ordinary as have mates. And while it’s possible to imagine her trailed by a harem of pathetically adoring men – like Tom Ewell’s character in The Seven Year Itch – her sex-symbol image means people find it harder to envisage her having real friendships with women.
