The UNHCR-WFP JOINT HUB NEWSLETTER

With the new year well underway, we’re pleased to bring you the first edition of CONCORD for 2025!

This issue highlights the latest developments from the Joint Hub in Q1—covering operations, publications, events, and more.

“The work with the Hub was vital to coordinate the review and update of the targeting methodology between UNHCR and WFP. The Hub played a key role in making this happen.”

Feedback from UNHCR staff in Egypt

“It has been a very useful practical, hands-on experience on all aspects of developing a targeting model. I have learned much about survey sampling, different targeting mechanisms, their pros and cons, and about other countries' experiences. Presentations on appeals and communication have been specifically useful.”

Feedback from UNHCR staff in Egypt

“Clearly the Hub was really brilliant technical assistance. Since 2020 we’ve had a lot of discussions about the PMT, the proxies to keep, how to streamline the process. And of course the Hub was there to document the whole process, which we might not have had time to do otherwise.”

Louis Falcy, (former) UNHCR Senior Development Officer in Mauritania 

“If it wasn’t for the Hub, we wouldn’t have had the capacity to do what the Hub did. The fact that the Joint Hub is from outside - but also internal – really helped. We have RAM, but they were already really busy.”

Kinday Samba, (former) WFP Country Director, Mauritania

“For WFP, the entry point is vulnerability to food insecurity, for UNHCR it is protection. The Joint Hub was like a mediator, trying to understand each agency’s perspective and find a consensual solution. They were very good mediators.”

Wahabou Hassane, Programme and Policy Officer, WFP Niger 

“On the capacity building side, working with the Joint Hub was great, it felt like an exchange. Capacity building wasn’t a target I set out for the Research, Assessment and Monitoring (RAM) team at the beginning, but it was a positive side-effect. ”

Anna Law, Head of RAM, WFP Niger 

“Using the JAF tool, we brought together the multifunctional teams from both agencies, allowing us to gather more detailed information that has been invaluable in informing our programming. We frequently refer to this report as we are developing new strategies to transition from camp maintenance towards sustainable responses.”

Rita Gwarada, UNHCR Associate Programme Officer, Zimbabwe.
