Joint Hub Niger Learning Review 2025

Joint Hub Niger Learning Review 2025

The Joint Hub’s Learning Review from Niger (2021-2024) outlines lessons learned, best practices and challenges of WFP and UNHCR’s collaboration for the targeting and prioritization of food assistance for refugees, IDPs and host populations in Niger. The findings presented stem from an online learning review led by the Joint Hub during which interviews were held with staff from WFP, UNHCR and the Joint Hub itself.  The lessons learned aim to contribute to the quality of support provided to country operations and inspire similar collaborative efforts in other contexts.

UGANDA LEARNING REVIEW

UGANDA LEARNING REVIEW

Check out the Joint Hub’s Learning Review from Uganda, which focuses on the rollout of the new food assistance prioritization model. The review highlights strong collaboration between WFP, UNHCR, the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), and refugee communities—despite challenges such as limited resources, tight timelines, and the complexity of the model itself. Key takeaways include the need for clearer communication and better-resourced appeals processes to ensure fair and equitable support for vulnerable households. 

MIXED METHODS

MIXED METHODS

The Joint Hub’s latest paper on mixed methods for better targeting explores how combining qualitative and quantitative approaches can improve the accuracy of targeting, enhance community engagement, and reduce errors. Drawing on four country case studies, it examines the operational challenges and programmatic implications of using mixed methods in humanitarian settings, offering practical insights for practitioners and decision-makers alike.

Review Results are in External Review of Joint Hub concluded

From January to July this year, Mokoro Ltd conducted a light touch review of the Joint Hub. Mokoro was tasked with looking at the design, delivery and added value of the Joint Hub against its objectives, the impact it has had on the partnership between WFP and UNHCR, as well as the future direction of the Joint Hub.

Through multiple interviews and workshops and document reviews, the review found:

  • The Joint Hub continues to demonstrate its value, even in an increasingly constrained funding environment
  • It is both effective and cost-efficient, with the potential for even greater impact if better supported
  • Improved integration and more consistent institutional backing could further enhance its effectiveness

 

Executive leadership and management from both organizations have endorsed the positive results identified through the Joint Hub review and have committed to implementing the recommendations from the final report. This will ensure the Joint Hub’s continuation and grown in the coming years.

 

Thank you to all of the 100 participants who contributed their time and thoughts to the process!

Joint Appeals Processes
